I have read enough Facebook posts over the past several days complaining about the new videos of Planned Parenthood Executives explaining how they sell fetal tissue, otherwise the body parts of aborted babies. I am growing weary of Christians of who complain, lament, and otherwise post ignorant rav...

When a personal tragedy strikes such as what happened this past week with the death of Robin Williams, it seemingly affects the entire nation. While we can never know what happens biologically in a person’s mind or spiritually in his soul to cause them to act in the way Robin did, I am convinc...

I want to start off by saying that I have been attending church nine months before I born, if you know what I mean. Personally I made the commitment to follow Jesus and be known as a Christian some forty-three years ago when I was a boy of nine. To be honest, I had no […]...

Have you ever heard any of these statements?: “Religion is for weak people” or “God is a crutch for spineless wimps” or “Christianity is for cowards.”Whenever I hear that I laugh. The absurdity of that statement. It is ludicrous. It is a statement of ignorance. The fact is it takes enorm...

At Hank’s viewing the funeral home estimated between 800-1,000 people were there to pay to pay their respects to a man that touched each of their lives. Hank’s funeral was a ti...

On November 16, 2006 I had lunch with Hank at Steak and Shake to share with him about a new church that five families were starting in Perry. Hank and his wife had been searching for a church to attend that would meet the needs of their family. I met Hank, Ginnyne and their kids […]...
