In a number of places I’ve been growing up, I heard a particular explanation of 1 Cor. 11:17-34. That explanation was that the instruction Paul gave was a condemnation of the church’s “making a common meal out of the Lord’s Supper.”
With great respect to the good men who’ve stated it, I believe this is a [...]

More than ever, I realized tonight how amazingly important it is for God’s children to be salt and light in a world full of tasteless darkness. “Come out and be separate, says the Lord” is resonating in my head loudly.
I’m at one of my work engagements, and having a blast. My friends and colleages are fun [...]

Praise God for his power and [...]

Father, for 10 years I’ve been married to the woman you gave me. She has tried and tried, and is yet to train me…! but I know I can be the leader I must be. I wake up some mornings and wonder if I’m not the man I wanted to become. But through the cross, I [...]
