This past Christmas, I gave a Joel Rosenberg novel to a friend. It was the first book in his first series of books, and as I expected, my friend is now hooked! He not only polished off that first novel in a hurry, but he’s rushed out to buy number two. I’m like that. I […]
Wise Men Still Seek Him
Are you still seeking Him? This past Christmas season, the American Atheists Group based in New Jersey spent $20,000 to boldly proclaim their message that Christmas is a myth. Their billboard near the Lincoln Tunnel connecting New Jersey to New York displayed a picture of three ancient kings traveling on camels bearing gifts. It read, “You know it’s a […]
Lessons from Luke: Zacharias
Rarely is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity all that it claims to be. More often than not it’s a sales gimmick; a manipulative tool of persuasion designed to prompt impulsive action. In Zacharias’ case, however, it was the real deal. He was living the dream. Only once in the lifetime of any priest were you able to enter the temple of […]

Do You Pray for God's Favor?
OK. So much for my once-a-week blog goal! It’s been . . . a month since the last installment. Ever since we blasted out the door for Kenya before the school year even ended, this summer has been full of milestones and memories! Of course, one of the most memorable adventures of our lives thus far […]
Moments in Matthew: As He Said . . .
He is risen, as He said. Matthew 28:6 As He said. Meditate on this simple phrase. His disciples missed it. They endured agony and sorrow that could have been avoided if they had only listened and believed. Christ’s death rocked their world – shook their very foundations. And yet He told them He would rise […]
