  • Abortion in Antiquity

    I was deeply disturbed tonight by an article that’s been going around that states that a new bill could be put into motion in New York that would allow babies to be aborted up to their day of birth. I had a hard time imagining a world in which even those who approve of abortion…

  • The World Needs MLK Today

    In a country filled with verbal violence and hatred, I find myself greatly missing leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., who was capable of fighting an issue that oppressed him (to the point of getting him killed) with peace and love. His words were strong and full of prophetic conviction, but his method was that…

  • Sexual Temptation

    Not only did Jesus beat temptation in the desert, but he beat it in every single way. That is not to say that temptation was easy for Jesus—just that he succeeded in beating the urge to sin. This should speak volumes to us, because often we think that God couldn’t understand our temptations and addictions,…

  • Evolution

    In today’s midweek edition of the 1208PODCAST, I bring pastor and biological-physicist, Kevin Eccles onto the mic to talk about evolution and the Genesis account.

  • Repentance

    John the Baptist and Jesus had the same message: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Repentance is something we do not just when we become Christians, but as we continue to go throughout life.
