One thing I always hated about sitting in church on Sunday was that there would inevitably be references made to upcoming sporting events or politics. Things that really have no place in the church sermon, but that seem to be the only way the pastor knows how to connect with his congregants. It always bothered…
I’ve always believed that it isn’t a race war we were fighting but a class war. For as long as I can remember, I’ve understood that all of the problems that we experience as a society can be traced to one thing; money. Not race. You can have money no matter what race you are,…
Raising children has never been an easy task. But today, we seem to be facing many challenges that our culture simply wasn’t prepared to face.

Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me—those who trust in their wealth and boast of their great riches? No one can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for them— Psalm 49:5-7 New International Version (NIV) What I’m going to say will probably anger a few of you. …
