Article: 6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not t...
A lot of Christians seem to have a wrong understanding of what forgiveness is and what it means to forgive. Let me preface anything else in this article by saying that, while I understand in concept what it means to forgive and why forgiveness is the way to go (which I do believe), I am an infant maturity-wise when it comes ...
In a recent conversation I had with a work associate the topic of Calvinism came up. It ran the gambit of Christian doctrinal truths/arguments that various denominations hold to, whether their 4 point Calvinists, 3/5 Arminian, or whatever. For a while I got sucked hard into the neo-Reformed stream of thinking, which is prett...
A letter to the Church- My name is Christian. Most of you probably know me or at least know of me. My wife, Mara, grew up in the Church. We met while we were (both) in the military. We have a son named Adam. Most of you know Adam as the outspoken, rambunctious eleven year old down in the youth ministry. Most of you probably ...

I'd never read the Bible so I assumed that's how Christians were supposed to be, and I wanted nothing to do with them. God's funny that way, though. By the power of the Holy Spirit, God change...
Blood is Thicker… “You can’t do this. Alex!” the hanging man said. “I’m your &@#$ing brother!” Tyler hung over the edge of the roof. His feet were tethered together with a rope that led up to the roof and was held by Alex. Blood from the gash on the back of Tyl...
Santiago had been stalking the drunk for three blocks. The staggering, disheveled man was oblivious to his hunter’s presence even though Santiago was going to no great lengths to maintain stealth. He’d given up on caution in recent years. This existence of hiding from the human world was growing...
It would figure that I would get trapped in a mop closet during the zombie apocalypse. How could it not have happened this way? After countless hours of research and study and preparation. Thousands of dollars spent on equipment, weapons and dried and canned food. Planning on how to turn my house into a fortress in short min...
I wasted almost $4 and about two hours of my life on this poor excuse for a motion picture. It seems that Hollywood has come to the realization that you can digest a weak story, throw in a load of cheesy, video game quality special effects, a few mediocre big name actors and sell to the general public whatever comes out when...
