• Protecting the Gospel

  I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel. Galatians 1:6 Desertion. That’s a pretty tough word.

• At Calvary – Ep 29 – Do We Know When We Are Being Petty?

  Even though all evil should be gradually defeated in the lives of God’s children, there is one category of evil that is especially hurtful. It isn’t hurtful because of its shocking force. It is especially hurtful because it hides behind smiles, pious words, and self-righteousness. These evils are the sins of pettiness. On Android you…

• At Calvary – Ep 28 – 3 Card Monte in Life, the Church and Politics

  When we think about the important issues facing America right now, we need to hear clear and helpful information from our leaders. In politics, in culture, and in faith we need our leaders to tell us what they believe and what they intend to do. The difficulty is that too often we don’t know if…

• At Calvary – Ep 27 – Number 23 on the Top Theological Questions Asked of Google

• At Calvary – Ep 26 – The Glory of Gospel Thinking

  When we think about Christianity from the perspective of being good people, good neighbors, and avoiding doing “the bad stuff”, I wonder if we aren’t missing something.

• Bridge Building – Remember what Life is About!

  This week I invite you to think together with me about building bridges.  No, I don’t mean the type of bridges that we drive cars across.  I mean bridges between people.  Bridges are built by common interests.  Bridges are built by friendliness and a heart that is willing to listen.  Bridges are built by honesty…

• At Calvary – Ep 9 – Gospel Hope. The Power of the Second Coming in the Christian Life

  What do you think about when you think about the Second Coming of Christ? Is it about setting dates and identifying the anti-Christ. Is it about knowing the order of the seals, trumpets, and bowls? Or… is it an assurance that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it…
