A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day I really like to read. My favorite genre is nonfiction. I may even have an addiction to nonfiction books. I realized I own 100s nonfiction books this week when I put together a large bookshelf that could only hold half of my books. Megan, my wife, and […]
I want to give, but my spouse or partner doesn’t… What do I do? This is a really great question because of how relevant it is. There are people worldwide who practice Christianity and follow Jesus, but the other person in the relationship doesn’t. That can work out for a while, but when it comes […]
Kings & Kingdoms Are you one of the many obsessed with the Royal Family? I’m not into them, yet my newsfeed is filled with whatever Harry and Meghan are doing. I don’t really care what they do. There is one royal I do follow: Tiger King. (You thought I would say, Jesus, didn’t you?) Tiger […]
The Day Before the First Easter I want to talk to you about the time before there was Easter. The day before the first Easter was a day before there were any Christians. It was a day before churches. The Bible didn’t exist yet. There was no reason to celebrate that first Easter Sunday, which […]
by Jason Webb I love movies, and the best movies are the ones that have great villains. How many of you have seen all the Harry Potter movies? Do you ever think about the personification of evil? It’s in Lord Voldemort. And when he kills Harry, you think evil has won. Thankfully, you and I […]

by Jacob Musselman Prayer Is An Ongoing Conversation Stephen and I have been friends for over a decade, but we can count on two hands the number of times we have seen each other face-to-face. Most of you don’t know me, but I know you because Stephen talks about you, loves you, and cares for […]
Give Us Today The Food We Need Have you ever walked up to a restaurant, checked the menu posted outside, and quickly realized that the restaurant was not for you? Not because you didn’t like the food they offered, but because it was out of your price range? I have learned that if the restaurant […]
How to Pray Better What’s a skill or ability that you wish you had? I would love to be the best golfer in the world. Players can win big trophies and get paid a ton of money to play a game. Also, in what other sports can professional athletes drink alcohol while they play it!? […]
Violence & The Bible Most nights, when we’re putting our sons to bed, we have Oliver read his Bible Storybook to Elijah. It’s a good Bible for their age and stage of life. When I was preparing for the subject that we’re getting into today, violence in the Old Testament, I was curious how his […]
