?How can you be a Florida State fan and sleep at night? they asked? ?I was raised in Tallahassee and have been a Seminole fan all my life. Plus I even have Seminole Indian in my blood? I replied. ?But Jameis Winston? How can you like him?? ?I can?t stand him!? I said emphatically. ?And most of Nole nation is… Read more →
Are these your cleats?
If we were the children of Israel when Moses left to talk with God, I imagine we would have made a golden football or goal post instead of a calf. At least when I log on to Facebook that?s the impression I get. Do I like football? Absolutely! Do I post football comments on social media? Sure, sometimes. So does… Read more →
One in the fold!
As a follower of Christ and a father, there is nothing in this world more important to me than knowing my children come to a saving knowledge of Jesus. This past Sunday my oldest son got up from bed. He said he was afraid he wouldn’t go to heaven. I asked why and he replied “because I’ve been sinning a… Read more →
Sin-A very good definition!
John Wesley asked his mother how to define sin to which his mother replied, ” Whatever weakens your reasoning, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, what takes away your desire for spiritual things, in short if anything exceeds the authority and the power of the flesh over the spirit, that becomes sin however good it… Read more →

This was an issue with them on more than one occasion and I find it humorous the perspective they had. They did not view Jesus as being God in flesh so their view… Read more →
Show Up
Men need to show up. Show up to church. Show up to your child’s school program. Show up to small group or bible study. Men have no problem showing up to work but familial responsibilities go right out the window if it clashes with our plans. I find it interesting how the boss has more power over our actions than… Read more →
Cursed Blessings
I spent 10 months without full time work and as any man knows who has gone through even a short period of unemployment, it takes a toll on you. I’m grateful for the amazing way God provided for us during that time of financial drought. I’m sure that topic will re-appear in future posts because it was an amazing time… Read more →
Did Man Create God and the Bible?
As I was reading Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem on the doctrine of scripture, I was reminded of the argument that believes the Bible is just a man made book and God is merely a made up concept. You will never hear me claim to be a?theologian or even a smart man at that but strictly from a common sense… Read more →
Overseers
For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not to be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.? He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound? doctrine… Read more →
