I Attended The President Clinton Impeachment Trial
I opened this can of worms, and now I’m stuck with seeing it through to the end. When I started this blog site, I looked at areas of discussion that would interest people and keep them engaged.

I Am No Saint
I have a sermon entitled My 10 Greatest Sins. It is actually a discourse on The Ten Commandments, however I talk about them personally and how they apply directly to my life. I explore them from the standpoint of how I am guilty of each. I’ve only preached this particular sermon a couple of times…

Are You Too Big to Fail?
One of the greater mysteries of all of creation is the understanding that God is completely in control and yet at exactly the same time, mankind has free will. I’ve mentioned this before and called your attention to Louie Giglio who has also referred to it as a great mystery. The fact is, God cannot…

There Is No Honor In Death
I lost my cousin today. The son of my dad’s brother, and the youngest of two children, he was known to the family as Little John. I suppose from some throwback to the Robin Hood character. But not to me. To me he was always Big Bad John. John stood 6 foot 5 inches tall…
