Tonight I told a bedtime story that, as usual, comes right out of my life and what I’m walking through day by day. I talked about loving your enemies and doing good to them. There are a lot of places throughout the scriptures where God and His people show mercy and compassion towards people that…
The other night I got to announce that the Evansville Rescue Mission is moving to the old VA clinic on 500 E. … There were a lot of questions, but then I got to preach for a few minutes to finish my mini-series on Galatians.
Here are my notes from Christian Fellowship Church on April 15, 2012. The first few pages are pretty poor because I was in such a state from the 2 girls chatting like hens throughout the entire worship time, but by the time I got to page 3 I was able to focus enough to pay…
(I realize this quote starts out kind of arrogant, but stay with me.) We lack for Christians who feel themselves expendable in the warfare of the soul, who cannot be frightened by threats of death because they have already died to the attractiveness of this world. Such Christians will be free from the compulsions that…
Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.†(John 18:21 ESV) Jesus is saying this at almost the exact same moment that someone is actually asking those who heard Him out in the courtyard. Peter is saying “I don’t know the man.

Sunday I took my two oldest sons to Family Day at the Monastery Immaculate Conception in Ferdinand, Indiana. My Aunt, who is in her 60s, has been part of the community there since she was 18. It’s pretty cool walking around such a place. I’ve taken my sons to St. Meinrad and we’ve snuck around,…
‚Äú‚ÄúDo not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father‚Äôs house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back…
And no, I’m not talking about saying cuss words in church… Our best effort is not what the Lord wants, Exodus 20:25 If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stones, for if you wield your tool on it you profane it. Deuteronomy 12:8 You are not to…
In Jesus, God glorifies Himself. It is a strange thought that the supreme glory of God lies in the incarnation and the cross. There is no glory like that of being loved. Had God remained aloof and majestic, serene and unmoved, untouched by any sorrow and unhurt by any pain, men and women might have…
