Since publishing this article new information has come to light. I’d encourage you to read this article also published on this site instead of this one as it contains more information and better information. The Purpose Driven Life is a runaway bestseller.

The Thing That Would Make Everything Okay Forever

It does me good to pause from time to time to read an account of a person coming to faith. It never ceases to fascinate me how many different paths we take to that one door and it never ceases to encourage me to read about another person’s experience of coming to the end of…

The Dutiful Introvert

I am aware that the categories of introvert and extrovert are not described or even hinted at within the pages of the Bible. My understanding is that the terms arose from the mind of Carl Jung and were popularized through his teachings—teachings that oppose Scripture in a host of ways.

I Know It Broke Her Heart

I know it broke her heart. I know it broke her heart to see her boys at odds. God had given her just two sons and from infancy to adulthood they were at odds. They were not like some brothers who have spats and then make up or who struggle with one another but still…

Are You Known for Love?

We live at an interesting time, a time in which so much is changing. Norms that have existed and been accepted for decades or even centuries are quickly fading and being supplanted by what is new and novel.
