Movies and TV are full of examples of what men are supposed to be like, but how accurate are the examples? Are men really imbeciles with no clue about what is going on around them? Do they really have to be uncaring and emotionless? Carlton Lee Arnold shares his learning about being a Christian man […]
At different ages, people go through a stage of entitlement. I see that meaning something along the lines of, “I exist, so I deserve to have whatever I want.” At times, it’s more like, “I’m awesome, give it to me.” Though I see this more in youth and children, it does exist in all ages. […]
When people ask about you, they tend to prefer more than just a list of facts. They are wanting a way to relate to you. This same thing is true when we want to know about God, and when we share what He has done for us with others. Scott McClellan writes how narratives help […]
I have been in leadership roles before. I think that at least some people would be willing to use the word sorry to describe my leadership ability. You can read about my opinion on my leadership here, and I won’t get into that in this post. I myself would use the word sorry to describe […]
Something has been drifting in and out of my mind recently. There are a lot of people that say parts of the Bible are wrong. There are others that say God should have done something differently.

What do you do when man’s laws and God’s laws conflict? Where do you turn when what you hold dear is threatened? Libby, Caleb, and Jordan must face these questions and decide their answers in The Swindler’s Treasure. After her pa has his boat payment and workers’ salary stolen, Libby and Caleb plan to get […]
If you remember elementary science, gases expand to fill whatever space they’re in. If they are moved to a larger container, the gases will move throughout it until an equilibrium is reached. I can see a correlation between a gas cloud and idols. To make it easier for me to talk about, I’m going to […]
I have noticed many popular Christian songs are containing sounds that repeat in place of words. I hear more whoa, oh. la, and na, among other ones.
