• Why the Cross

    Over the Lenten Season I preached extensively on the place of the cross in the life of the believer. One reason I went that direction is I see many evangelicals/Pentecostals/Charismatics ignoring the power of the cross and saying, “Jesus isn’t on the cross.” Of course he’s not on the cross. He’s on the throne. But that doesn’t negate the need…

  • Why WordPress?

    I am trying to evaluate blogspot, which I’ve had for years, with WordPress. I am not sure why the “migration” to WordPress. It might be like some TV show where they claim, “Everyone is watching it.” Maybe that’s just the perception of WordPress and I should just stay with blogspot.

  • Trends in blogging

    I’ve seen a few people I follow on blogs move from blogspot to WordPress. I am not sure why. Any thoughts?

  • Disappointment

    Taking a stand for something is tough.

Let me know what you think about the links and how I can add other helpful resources. On my facebook page today the question came…

  • Training…

    When I finally finish my study on Psalm 119, I may be brave enough to go back over all those notes and see what overlaps. Over the months I am sure I have used cross references on more than one occasion. One passage I’m pretty sure I’ve cross-referenced before is 2 Tim. 3:15-17. But I’m not going to go searching…

  • When Christianity and Nationalism Collide

    One of the key reasons I use the name “Apprentice2 Jesus” is the deep need I see for American evangelicals, especially conservatives, to separate themselves from being Americans who happen to be Christians and identify themselves as Christians who happen to be American. I should say “WE” need to do this, since I would fall into that category. Over the…
