Two commercials caught my attention while watching the news last night. One for a car company's line of SUVs and the other for . . . well I am not really sure what they were advertising.  Both commercials feature a young dating couple.  Both talk about their future together.

  Billy Joel sang, “I don’t care what you say anymore this is my life, Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone.” Western society screams, “It is my body, I can do with it what I want!” We then begin to sacrifice our bodies to the gods of: Pre-marital sexual relations, Extra-marital sexual … Continue reading You are not Yours

One of my favorite shows at the moment is Expedition Unknown.  The host, Josh Gates, travels to different places and joins archeological teams as they search for locations of temples, burials, treasures, and more.  Occasionally, Gates or his host team will find a small coin or other artifact that may connect to the historical event … Continue reading Finding Treasure

My mom reminded … Continue reading Time to Choose

Adherents.com estimates that only 30% of the worlds population is Christian. Some of those are in name only.

A few years ago my friend Ryan Mullinax relayed a quote he recently heard from a Holocaust Survivor who spoke at the school where he taught and coached.  "The opposite of good is not evil; the opposite of right is not wrong; the opposite of justice is not injustice.  The opposite of good, of right, … Continue reading Good vs . . .

In more than a couple of different conversations and in one Bible class in the last couple of weeks different people made reference to the same verse.

I took a little time away from most of my regular schedule las week. We enjoyed some time with my parents. We took in the sights around Lake Guntersville (Guntersville, Alabama), went shopping at The Unclaimed Baggage Store in Scottsboro on Memorial Day and then drove the ridge of Little River Canyon. While we were … Continue reading Vacation and Storms
