What to Expect From my Blog in 2013

What to Expect From my Blog in 2013

As we enter the New Year, I want to let you know what to expect from my blog in 2013. I have come to see that this website is a ministry in itself; not just a means to get my information out or secure other ministry opportunities. With that said, here is how I plan to use this website to teach and minister this coming year: Articles I have been posting articles more frequently this past month, and will continue this in the New Year. I plan...

Special Announcement: Moving to Pennsylvania

Special Announcement: Moving to Pennsylvania

I am excited to formally announce that my family and I are moving to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. My wife Anna and I have been married for over seven years, all of which have been far away from our families. Throughout this year we have been feeling the tug to move close to family and at first we disregarded this desire. But after prayer, reflection, counsel, and discussion, we believe that this is God’s best for us in the long-run and where...

What Christians Can Learn from the Election

What Christians Can Learn from the Election

A day before the US presidential election I posted an article sharing my thoughts on the role Christians should play in politics. At a minimum, I believe that Christians have a responsibility to pray for our government leaders (see 1 Timothy 2:1-4) and vote according to biblical values. I personally am not usually one to delve into political issues, nor do I follow politics very closely. However, I would be lying if I said I was not...

Thoughts on the Election

Thoughts on the Election

With the US presidential election right around the corner, there has been a lot of political talk these days. I have never involved myself too heavily in politics, but I do believe Christians have a responsibility to involve themselves in at least two ways: 1.) Praying for those in authority 2.) Voting according to biblical values   Praying for those in authority Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers,...

The Little Chap Who Follows Me

The Little Chap Who Follows Me

I came across this poem recently, and was tearing up after the first two lines. First, I thought of my two-year-old son and how he looks up to me. Then, I thought of my dad, and how he modeled (and continues to model) godliness, sacrifice, generosity, and love. There seems to be a dispute over the original author of this poem, and most sources say it is unknown. Regardless of who wrote it, it is a great reminder for every father:   A...

Mother’s Day Tribute

Mother’s Day Tribute

With today being Mother’s Day, I wanted to write a little bit about my mom. The Bible instructs us to “Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may be well with you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you” (Deuteronomy 5:16).  This is a big deal to God…it made it into the Ten Commandments and was also reiterated by Jesus and...

New Book Project

New Book Project

I want to formally announce that I have begun writing my second book! It is a follow up to my first book, Restoring the Ministry of Jesus, and will be called Restoring the Ministry of Deliverance. As the title suggests, this book will focus on the subject of deliverance; that is casting out demons in order to set people free. When Jesus ministered, He cast out evil spirits on a regular basis. In fact, casting out demons was as common to...
