After the Apostle's scathing rebuke to the church in his first letter, Paul was relieved to hear that they had responded well. They had repented. They had corrected their errors. They had received his message as it truly was, from God. They had, but not all. There remained in the church a segment who challenged Paul's authority as an apostle. 2 Corinthians is a celebration of the victories an instruction on giving and a confrontation with the Judaizers. The message is as relevant today as it was two thousand years ago.

Exodus is an exciting book. It has all of the qualities of popular literature: Suspense Romance Murder Action Blood and Guts. Who can ask for anything more?

Very few people know or even care what were the: Struggles and Heartbeats and Passions and Motivations of men who lived, loved, fought, and died so long ago. Judges today do not really care so much about what the founders of our country had in mind when they framed our Constitution. ...

Built to Stand: One Man’s Call A Novel Inspired by the True Story of Marvin McKenzie He rode bulls before he could drive. He climbed steel beams hundreds of feet in the air.

The Long Road to Reformation: A Pastor’s Crossroads What happens when a faithful man of God walks a little too close to the edge?

There will be some in the church that are more difficult for you to love. That matters not. God’s will is that you be there...

I became a believer in the late 1970’s. It was a time when Christians spoke a great deal about prophetical subjects. There was a sense of urgency among Christians. We believed Jesus could come again at any moment. We spoke about it. We talked to unsaved people about it. We used songs, books and visuals to strike up those conversations to tell others about Jesus and to encourage them to be saved. We believed it to be a blessed hope. We prayed for it and, though I do not believe a lot of us were any more spiritual than most of us are today, the subject of Jesus’ coming again was on our ...
