The Old Testament Show
Do you remember The Truman Show, a 1998 movie starring Jim Carrey? It was the story of Truman Burbank (Carrey), a reality T.V. star who lives his life in quiet suburbia…not knowing he is a reality T.V. star.

If God is Your Hobby, He is Not Your God
Have you ever met a man who says he believes in God, and yet views Him as a relatively insignificant part of life? The world is full of such men (and women).

The Testimony: One of the Best Ways to Fish for Men
When I worked for Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Chicagoland and the Washington D.C. area during the late 80’s and early 90’s, occasionally I would find myself one on one with a co-worker for a longer period of time. Maybe it was just a lunch hour and two of us made plans to grab a Chicago style… Continue reading

Comfort for those who believe they have committed an unpardonable sin (Part 3)
We’ve been discussing the trouble Christians have with believing they have somehow done something beyond the grace of God. Part one is here and part 2 is here. Here is the second reason Christians need not worry… 2. The gospel. Over and over again, Scripture makes it clear that justification (God declaring us righteous) comes by… Continue reading
