Teaching and Reaching
Excuse me a moment for reminiscing. I know people probably get tired of hearing me talk about the 1970’s but it really was a major turning point in the American culture and a big one for me as well.
The Jesus and Charismatic movements of the ‘70’s hit the church like a hurricane. Within a handful [...]

Busy Summer?
Are you having a busy summer? I certainly am. Projects, trips, special events, weddings and the like have really kept Connie and me running these past few weeks. Summertime activities and responsibilities seem to totally consume the season. Everything from the job, house and yard work, kid’s sports and vacation preparation to summer moves or [...]

Celebrate Freedom!
Those who discovered, pioneered and established America just a handful of centuries ago, did so because of a dream they held in their hearts. They dreamed of freedom. Freedom has always been the true American dream. The human spirit yearns for freedom. The educated mind demands it. The oppressed life hungers and thirsts for it. [...]

What in Heaven’s name am I supposed to wear?
We will be graduating our first Epic School of Life and Ministry students this weekend at Victory Church. It’s a big deal. Our Epic interns have worked long and hard. I’m so proud of them. I asked our Epic Director Mike Eminger what I should wear for this solemn event. I was assuming I would [...]

Forgiving
One of the greatest effects of being forgiven by God is the power to forgive others. John wrote that one absolute proof of our spiritual new birth is that we now find a supernatural love for others within our own hearts. Paul taught that having been forgiven, we should be willing to forgive others.
“And be [...]

Forgiven!
I really get big “kicks” hanging out with the 20-Somethings in our Venue Service on Tuesday nights. Lately, I’ve been talking to them about subjects they’ve specifically requested. We had a great time the other night talking about forgiveness.
[By the way, if you’re between the ages of 18 and 30, I invite you to come [...]

Father
You have a Father!
“Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father,”
Ephesians 1:2
Because my own earthly father passed away when I was only six years old, I strongly connected with God the Father when I became a Christian. I needed a father. I had a great step dad and a good grandfather…but I needed [...]

Faith
Perhaps there is no greater issue to be discussed than that of faith. The first man, Adam, fell into sin and rebellion against God because he didn’t believe what God had said. (I refer to the whole “don’t eat of this tree or it will kill you” thing.) In this bit of a “Faith Primer” [...]

Healing
I teach our Venue service for 20-Somethings on Tuesday night. I absolutely love doing it. I really like being around people who are in their twenties for several reasons. I like their energy. I like their thirst for knowledge. I like their desire for authenticity. Hey, I just like them… and I really want to [...]
