Paul’s theological cornerstone was to know nothing more than Christ crucified. This was not something he only had to remind himself of, but the Corinthian church as well; for they were trying to blend worldly wisdom into Christianity and suppress the message of the cross. In today’s podcast, Myisha and I tag-team preach our way…

Throughout the years I’ve heard people say that God “allows” bad things to happen to us—which is often the theological conclusion that people come to when they deal with the question of, “Why do bad things happen if God is all powerful?” This has always been a complicated question for Christians to work with, but…

God is crazy about you. He is the most extravagant of pursuers out there. He knows every detail about you because he knit you together in your mother’s womb (Ps 139:13). He is so meticulous about you that he has even counted how many hairs there are on your head (Mt 10:30)! He cares about…

Me and a musical couple from our church will be leading worship at Ypsilanti Free Methodist tonight at 7pm! This will be my third or fourth year doing this event and it’s always been a blessing on me to get to take this group before God. This year they’ve also asked that I speak a…
