The Lonely Pastors’ Podcast – EP 3 Biblical Reconciliation
One of the most challenging (sadly) parts of Christianity and Church life is reconciliation. Pride, feelings, and genuine pain often get in the way of what we, as the church, are supposed to demonstrate. Join me and Bro. Derrick in discussing this critical (and often missing) part of the church and Christian life. Find us … Continue reading The Lonely Pastors’ Podcast – EP 3 Biblical Reconciliation

Doctrine (like Theology) Matters!
This isn't the first post that has touched on this subject, and in this case - I plan to be as brief as possible.

For many, 2020 has been (pardon the term) the "year from hell". … Continue reading Spiritual Warfare is Real – and NOW

Humanity - all of us - were created in the Image of God (Imago Dei). We all have marred that image by sin - the fundamental problem of the world. Every last one of us bears that disease. For some, it is demonstrated in fornication or other sexual immoralities, for some - covetousness and stealing. … Continue reading Image of God, Sinners, and the Only Answer
Please Stop Abusing Scripture
Brethren - there is NEVER an appropriate time or circumstance to force meaning or personal views onto Scripture.

The formal term for … Continue reading Please Stop Abusing Scripture
