WHO PUT THE “LOCK” IN WEDLOCK – Part 1

I am growing increasingly more uncomfortable with the current attitudes about marriage. It’s not enough that several states have abandoned the biblical model of marriage between one woman and one man by legalizing homosexual “marriage.” Equally troubling is the notion that marriage can be dissolved when one partner grows dissatisfied with his or her spouse.Continue reading “WHO PUT THE “LOCK” IN WEDLOCK – Part 1″

PLATFORM: GET NOTICED IN A NOISY WORLD – Michael Hyatt (2012)

Michael Hyatt is no stranger to writers and bloggers. Hyatt’s work as the former CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers and his popular podcasts have been well publicized.

Since then, I’ve seen several interviews with the former Secretary of Defense.Continue reading “RUMSFELD’S RULES: Leadership Lessons in Business, Politics, War, and Life (2013)”

THE STORYTELLING GOD: Seeing the Glory of Jesus in His Parables (2014)

I want to begin this review a bit differently. I would like to thank Jared Wilson for his writing ministry.

KUTLESS – Glory (2014)

I’ve followed Kutless for nearly ten years now. I’ve enjoyed their music but in all honesty, it would be a stretch to say that I am numbered among one of their fans. Last year, that changed when I took my kids to a Kutless show. I was very impressed with four guys who were musicallyContinue reading “KUTLESS – Glory (2014)”

Jeremiah warned the people of God. He did not shirk his responsibility. And he never winked at sin. Jeremiah spoke the truth with clarity and passion.
