Same Power
My son Zion said I should blog about Jesus’ resurection and His power. So I think I will. Earlier this week I wrote about how I have been given gifts for the Kingdom, but lack the power to use them and I must rely on the Spitit’s power daily to utilize my gifts. But I’ve been thinking about how as a Christian the Holy Spirit lives in me. I’ve been meditating on the verse that... read more

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.

We are all members of this One Body who exist for the benefit and advancement of this Body. Each of us are different parts and have unique roles and purposes for accomplishing the greater good.

Another big problem, that I just discovered, is... read more

Knocked ‘Down’
What a great weekend! I had an amazing time at Generation Unleashed with my church’s youth group! It was a spiritually refreshing and empowering time with God to say the least! I am very tired though. Today I preached part one of my message on Salvation and Christian Living.

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.
