I’ve been told for years to keep politics and religion separate. If you’re religious you’ve probably been told to do the same. As a “religious leader”, I am often encouraged to stick to a “separation of church and state”, and the past decade as a Christian minister, I have been more than happy to tow … Continue reading “STOP MIXING YOUR RELIGION WITH MY POLITICS!” Why the religious now have no choice but to get political.

Were they Real Angels that showed up at Christmas?
The Bible tells a story in the gospels, of angels appearing to shepherds and telling them about Jesus' birth. But were the angels real, or had the shepherds a little over tired and delirious after a long day herding sheep? I believe the angels were real.

Why Kingdom Minded Churches Just Don’t Make Sense
Today I spoke at one of the most amazing Kingdom minded churches I have ever experienced. And to many, what occurred in that church would make no sense. The topic- the church gatherings that we are looking at starting down the road from this church. That's right, I was invited by a church to share … Continue reading Why Kingdom Minded Churches Just Don’t Make Sense
Free from, not to
The Easter story reminds me of the price of freedom. When Jesus died for me and rose again he absorbed my sin, my death, my punishment. He paid the price for my freedom. I regularly come across people who say that because of Christ's death and the grace that this gives them, they are free … Continue reading Free from, not to
