Heidelberg Catechism

Many Evangelical Christians today don’t think much of church tradition and history. I know for a long time I didn’t either. To place church tradition above the authority of Scripture is folly, but neither should we ignore it or treat it as unimportant to the church today. You do not have to be Roman Catholic…

John 9

This week we had some technical difficulties and were unable to record my sermon.  So in the place of an audio clip, I will be writing a few blog posts about the chapter. John chapter 9 begins with Jesus and his disciples coming across a man blind from birth.  The disciples are the first to…

Florida, Family and Frodo Baggins

Trials and Judgment

Life is full of joy and pain. I long for the day when Jesus comes back and our joy will be made complete and pain is gone forever.  But in this life we cannot escape trials and pain. Unlike what many prosperity gospel preachers will tell you, Jesus didn’t make any promise to Christians that…

John 15:9-13

Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in my love.  If you keep my commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in His love.  These things I have spoken to you so that my joy may be in you,…
