In the past few days reports of ISIS beheading 21 Egyptians in Libya began to make its way through American news wires and social media outlets. As I began to read the accounts of the horror and evil being played out half a world away, my stomach was sickened. My heart broke. I was filled […]

I’m a guy who loves to read in my spare time (whenever that happens to come in ministry life). This year I have come across a few duds when it comes to quality books, but there have also been quite a few great books that I would highly recommend. So take a look at my Top […]
Flaws. Imperfections. Weaknesses. Insecurities. I think all of us are well aware that there are parts of ourselves that do not measure up to the “ideal” people that culture sets in front of us through media. There is at least one part of our body that we simply do not like. We don’t have a […]
