It's an adaptation of a talk that he did with the TGC leaders back in May of 2016. You can read David Platt's article about the gospel-centered, mission-driven response to the Refugee … Continue reading A mission oriented view of the Refugee Crisis

13 weeks in the book of Judges: Utilitarianism
This is part 3. You can find part 1 HERE and part 2 HERE. Utilitarianism One of the attitudes I often see in young people today is the worldview of Utilitarianism. This boils down to the philosophy of life that sees people as value propositions rather than people made in the image of God. It … Continue reading 13 weeks in the book of Judges: Utilitarianism
13 weeks in the book of Judges: A New Heart
This is part 2. You can find part 1 HERE. One of the things that we tried to do throughout the time that we were working through Judges, was to assign some "homework" to the students.

VidAngel and Why I'm ProChoice About Renting and Filtering Movies VidAngel is caught up in a lawsuit right now. They're a filtering service for movies. I think there's definitely value in a service like this, but you should know they're a Mormon company and are producing content that promotes Mormonism within their streaming service.

13 Weeks in the Book of Judges (Part 1)

Celebrity Apprentice: Arnold the Governator Edition
I have a huge confession: I am a giant Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, especially of his late 80's and early 90's movies. (Yeah, that includes even Last Action Hero.) I'm one of those, "not ashamed of it" kind of fans. So when I found out that he was going to be hosting the new Celebrity Apprentice … Continue reading Celebrity Apprentice: Arnold the Governator Edition
We Come to You Jesus
We sang a new song at our church this past Sunday: "We Come to You Jesus" by Paul Baloche. It's from his new album, simply titled "Your Mercy." It's a great album, filled with simple songs for the church. I love that it's singable but filled with uncompromised truth. The chorus of the song is … Continue reading We Come to You Jesus
A Prayer for 2017
It's approximately 2 am in the morning, and Ian, our 7-month-old is terribly sick. He doesn't have a fever, but he's got this awful cough, and we think he might be teething. My wife Tracy has been up every 30 minutes or so because of his crying, and because I'm a relatively heavy sleeper, I … Continue reading A Prayer for 2017
