Love Life
Jesus said that people would know that we were Christians because of our love for one another. Today I spoke on Salvation and Christian Living. And I posed the question,” How is your love life?” In other words, ” Is your love for your fellow Christian and those who are far from God reflecting Christ?” Fake, cheesy, superficial love doesn’t count; do you really care about the... read more

Teenage Observations, Part 7: MySpace
When a teen posts a comment on MySpace, they think that no one else will be able to read it? I’ve seen so many private conversations take place between teens back and forth on their comment sections on MySpace. They could message each other on MySpace, they could instant message each other, they could email each other, they could text each other, they could talk about this private thing on the phone,... read more

The more spiritual that it seems= the more attracted they are to it, but if it involves anything physical, for the most part, they check out. A typical post-modern teen’s perspective: Prayer= good.

I see a lot of young people who grow up in homes with very little income. Where in the past, you would see many people use the memories of their impoverished childhood to spur on a change with their lives; today it seems to be the opposite.

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.
