Class in a Church Bathroom
(Originally posted as “Troubled Waters”, 3/20/2013) Lots of life’s lessons happen when we least expect them. It all happened about 30 years ago, early one Sunday morning. As usual, I arrived at our church around 5:30 in the morning. I enjoyed having extra preparation time, time to pray and worship God, and time to relax…

Is there witchcraft in the Church? (part four)
Is there witchcraft in the church? Here’s part four… Witchcraft, as I’ve shared in previous posts, isn’t necessarily about hexes, potions, and Ouija Boards.

Prosperity Gospel
You know what? I am really getting tired of preachers who hypocritically blast the “prosperity gospel”. Prosperity gospel? That’s what they like to call it. It’s true, there are definitely people who live for the buck. They treat the word of God like it’s their good luck charm. But that’s nothing new. Paul even had…

The Pattern
This line of thought all began as I wondered about animals in heaven. And don’t try to get me to believe you’ve never thought about it. I know better. I am convinced that earth was a copy of heaven. Originally. Heaven was the blueprint God used to create all we see (and can’t see). Do…
