Treasure Fail (a confession)
So I have been speaking on a great series at Fellowship Church: “Money Matters”. It’s all about how God wants us to see our resources and our stuff and what He wants us to do with them. The first message was all about “Mine” and how “mine” is a myth because nothing we have belongs to us, but instead belongs to God. We have simply been made stewards over what God... read more

I’ve been too busy, and too sick, to blog much lately. I’m hoping to become more consistent once again. So my first blog post in about a week will be one to bring honor where much honor is due- all for the glory of God. I am wrapping up our “Money Matters” series as a church.

Thoughts on Counseling and Group’s Emergency Response Handbook, Part 5
Chapters 9 and 10 of Group’s Emergency Response Handbook: For Small Group Leaders dealt with two totally different topics; Rebellious Children and Terminal Illness.

In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
I have been asking questions ever since as I believe that they are the catalyst to discovering the world all around us.
The answers to these questions have led me into an everlasting committed relationship with Jesus Christ, into a marriage with the love of my life, and into being the father of the two most beautiful children on earth.
It is my personal mission to glorify God with my life, advance His Kingdom through my ministry, and to love my family with everything I have.
I am the Pastor at Fellowship Church in Salem, Oregon and these are my thoughts on life.
