The Important One
Once upon a time there lived a guy who just knew he was something special. After all, he had gifts and abilities far beyond those of his friends, acquaintances, and even his enemies. With one exception. But that really didn’t matter, as long as all the others knew how important he was. Important. Yes, that’s…

Addendum to “Shuffling the Saints”
In my last post, I mentioned several reasons why I believe people shuffle from church to church. I’ve seen it happen a lot, as a pastor, and I see it in scripture. However, I must admit I left out a few important details. One – I do not know everything! I’m not God, and never…

Shuffling the Saints
There’s a phenomenon taking place in the church today; one that hasn’t happened before (in my opinion). The “Shuffling of the Saints” is what I call it.

Musicians and Music
It’s been said that musicians are a strange breed of cat. I’ve been inclined to agree. But I’m not sure anymore. I believe everyone has a bit of peculiarity about them. God would call it uniqueness. However, there is something powerful about music. Maybe it’s the melody, words, rhythm, and harmony all working together that…

For years people have commented about the first time he ever laid eyes on her. They say it was love at first sight. Yes, they were quite the couple. He lacked…

The Voice
There’s an extremely popular TV show called “The Voice”. I see a tremendous amount of Facebook posts about the show; who’s doing well, who’s not and why. While reading the FB posts, I began to meditate on a different Voice. The Voice that spoke the world into existence, blessed His new creation, cursed the serpent,…
