Christ followers, under the power of the Holy Spirit, will tell everyone about Him. (Acts 1:8)
I overheard a conversation recently among friends about a company that fired an employee after he refused to follow the demands of his supervisor. I chimed in that “he deserved his punishment” and shouldn’t have been surprised since he knew what was expected of him when signing on for the job. Several days later while... Continue Reading →
Most of us have seen the commercial advertising a credit card that ends with, "so what's in your wallet?" There are many card options available and they want viewers to think about which one they are carrying. Have you ever given thought to what's in your hand? What is it that you do with your...

17.3 million of the children in the U.S. live in poverty, trapped by circumstances beyond their control. Almost 1 million of them live in Kentucky, where 26% of our children under the age of 18 live in poverty. That means that for 1 out of 4 children, Christmas doesn’t always come with the promise of...

I had the privilege to be in a church recently that has made a deliberate effort to become a sending church.

Several years ago, I came home from work complaining about how hungry I was. My wife was fixing dinner and the girls were working on homework at the kitchen table. They asked if I had eaten lunch today. To which I replied, yes, but I haven’t had anything since lunch. They laughed at my foolish... Continue Reading →
What do you think of when you hear the words, "go outside"? I'm reminded of those times as a child when I was in the way and my mother would say to my brothers and I, "you all need to go outside and play". We knew exactly what that meant and would go outside to... Continue Reading →
