Thinking of Zig Ziglar on his birthday today, who passed away three years ago this month. I was just a kid when I first heard him speak and he caught my attention because of his funny sounding name (In fact, my dad wanted to name me “Logan McLogan” but mom talked him out of it). […]
Thinking about the word “faithfulness.” A faithful person is trustworthy and reliable. Faithfulness is commitment to someone or something. Faithfulness refers to this quality of being faithful and loyal. A patriotic person is full of faithfulness to their country. Someone who works at one company for decades has faithfulness to that company. So to be […]
What I love about the original Bible story of Noah itself are a couple of things: Genesis 6:8 (NKJ) states “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” This is very significant because it’s the word “grace” appears for the first time in the Bible. In the New International Version we read that […]
I try to stay away from politics now and could really care less what political party you identify as. My goal these days is to share the good news about Jesus Christ, His Kingdom come, and the amazing reality of having a relationship with Him. Sometimes there are issues that arise that I have not […]

Sexual scandals continue to be in the headlines this year: Bill Cosby Jared Fogel Joshua Duggan Ashley Madison Dennis Hassert Charlie Sheen The issues of temptation, sex and lust are still not often talked about among Christians in church, and is certainly mostly ignored by many. Unfortunately, we […]
Zig Ziglar once said that he invited a friend to go to church with him. The man answered, “Well, I’d like to go. But the church is so full of hypocrites.” Zig replied, “That’s okay. There’s always room for one more.” Hypocrisy is one of the main reasons people walk away from church—or refuse to […]
“The gospel is so simple that small children can understand it, and it is so profound that studies be the wisest theologians will never exhaust its riches.” ~ Charles Hodge I find that many people have the deep sense that the Christian faith it is quite complicated, but it is really straightforward. The simplicity of […]
I read that: “Humans are quickly becoming an indoor species with a recent study concluding that American children between the ages of 8 and 18 currently spend more than four hours a day interacting with technology. As a result, there’s no longer time for nature; from 2006 to 2010, the percentage of young children regularly […]
