Singer, songwriter Josh Wilson sings about dreaming small: Dream small, don’t bother like you’ve gotta do it all, Just let Jesus use you where you are.

Everybody has a secret. If you were required to reveal your secret to others, you would be so ashamed and mortified that you’d want to leave or crawl down into a hole to hide.

Expounding the rich truth of 2 Corinthians 5:21—“He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him”—John walks us through the glorious doctrines of justification, imputation, and reconciliation, explaining how, as he ...

Atlanta Traffic…ARRGGHH! I love Atlanta – but Atlanta traffic, not so much. During a sermon about the Holy Spirit, my pastor said, “When life puts the squeeze on you, it better be Jesus that’s coming out!” I have to confess, when Atlanta traffic puts the squeeze on me, something comes out, but it is decidedly NOT Jesus.

OK, this is a confession. By nature, I am not a patient person. If I’m driving on the freeway and one lane moves slightly faster than another, I’m the guy who you might not like at all – weaving in and out of the lanes, pushing to get wherever I’m going just a little bit faster.

The United States of America has never seemed more divided. There’s no nuance in conversation when it comes to the national dialogue. Either I’m completely right or you’re totally wrong! Debates are less focused on the argument and more focused on ad hominin attacks against the person making the argument

I have an addiction. I understand that if I admit and confess it, that that is half the battle to recovery. But this is one habit that I am not willing to give up! Just to make sure that I am never without a fix, I have an online supplier and a local neighborhood supplier. I would say that my wife doesn’t know about this obsession, but I suspect she has an inkling. It’s not her women’s ...
