Rebuilding

By on Saturday, August 8th, 2015 | No Comments

My forehead is missing through most of the sermon video (but its not my best feature, anyways).  Oh, and I SING near the end, as the congregation and I celebrate Holy Communion (singing is not even close to being a talent I have mastered).  Still, the sermon from August 2, 2015 from The Patterson Avenue […]

Coping With Opposition

By on Thursday, January 15th, 2015 | 1 Comment

While living in Louisville, Kentucky (while attending seminary many more years ago than I would like to admit) I was briefly employed as a youth minister for a 150-year-old congregation located downtown.  Situated in what had been a very prosperous neighborhood, the area surrounding the church had since deteriorated.  The majority of the members in […]

Pastors Grieve Too

By on Friday, March 28th, 2014 | 1 Comment

In the last three years, I have conducted funerals for almost 40% of the active participants in my congregation.  I have also officiated more than a dozen funerals for non- and inactive members.  These numbers might seem staggering, but for many clergy, funeral work is one of the most demanding aspects of their ministry. Yet […]

Having a cool car during your college career is a great bonus to your social life – at least it was for me. When I arrived at Stetson University in 1981 during my freshman year, I was driving a 1973 Chevy Nova.  I don’t know if it officially fell into the “muscle car” category, but […]

Moving Beyond Belief

By on Thursday, December 5th, 2013 | No Comments

Read Luke 5:1-11 Oswald Chambers wrote:  “There is a difference between devotion to principles and devotion to a person. Hundreds of people today are devoting themselves to phases of truth, to causes. Jesus Christ never asks us to devote ourselves to a cause or a creed; he asks us to devote ourselves to him.”  At […]

Question: “Who Gave You The Right…?”

By on Tuesday, November 12th, 2013 | 3 Comments

Here are some more “stupid questions” If you mated a bull dog and a shitsu, would it be called a bulls***? Why is Grape Nuts cereal called that, when it contains neither grapes, nor nuts? If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him? Why is it called a […]

Being Trinitarian

By on Tuesday, May 14th, 2013 | No Comments

Being Trinitarian does not simply mean, “Hey, I believe in the doctrine of the Trinity.”  It is not some sort of mathmatic equation like 1 + 1 + 1 = 1, or anything like that.  There are many people who believe in the “doctrine of the Trinity” and regulate it to some sort of “mystery” […]
