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

Shame
Lately my 5 year-old son has been starting to show his sin nature. It’s a good reminder that without Jesus every intention of the thoughts of men are evil all the time. It’s sad though to see sin in the life of a little boy. Last night my son was giving my wife a run for her money. She got him in trouble and then found him sometime later hiding under his covers sobbing uncontrolably in shame... read more

Thirty-One
Today was my wife’s 31st birthday. It’s weird to think that my pretty 16 year-old little girlfriend is now my beautiful 31 year-old woman/wife who I’ve been married to for 10 years and have two kids with. I wouldn’t have it any other way! And I’m hoping for at least another 31 years x 2! I love you Susan! Happy Birthday! read more

Member
I’ve been thinking a lot lately on church membership, the Body of Christ, volunteering and giving, and church attendance. I’m tired of people who say that they “belong to such-and-such church”, “our family belongs to ‘that’ church, or “we’re members of ‘this’ church” when they don’t even go there. Okay, well maybe they do on... read more
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.
