Continuing with Cyber Security Awareness month, here are some tips on how to secure your church or ministry’s social media accounts. I am honestly an old soul and am not a big fan of using social media. However, social media is an integral part of outreach and staying connected with people and can be incredibly useful in faith-based environments. You …
October is both Intimate Terrorism (domestic violence) and Cyber-Security Awareness month. There are going to be a few blogs that specifically deal with cyber-security and a few blogs that deal specifically with intimate terrorism. This is the first blog that deals with cyber-security and we’re going to talk about finances. It is interesting that Jesus speaks more about finances than …

We’re going to take a break from our Psalms series. I want to talk about suffering. We just observed and remembered the 20th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks and as I remembered the victims and the devastation that was wrought that day, the loss and the toll; as I pondered the events I couldn’t help but ask God “why?” …

On their way back to earth from the moon, Apollo 11 Astronaut Buzz Aldrin said this, “…in …
In this post, we’re going to be looking at Psalms 7:9-11, about justice. One of my favorite topics of study in the Bible is about justice, especially considering my background and work.

As we continue our journey through some of the Psalms that I have found to resonate with me personally, I want to invite you to take your own journey through the Psalms. As in the rest of the Bible, there are so many great, inspiring, and uplifting verses, stories, or lessons, but they may mean different things to different people. …
Continuing in our series of some of the Psalms that have resonated most loudly with me and are great for helping victims of crime and abuse, we’ll look at Psalm 5. 1 “Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my meditation. 2 Give heed to the voice of my cry, My King and my God,For to You I will …
