A Biblical worldview for a world in search of the Truth
When I was a junior in high school I, along with a handful of friends, hiked the trail of the 14,492 ft. Mt. Whitney. Standing as the highest mountain in the continental United States, Mt.

A few weeks ago I was running late for a meeting. Even though it was an important meeting I wasn't worried about my tardiness because I knew why it had happened. It was my intention to get there on time and I even left the house with more than enough margin to make it but... Continue Reading →

I'm sure that at one time or another we have all asked the question, "Why does God allow pain and suffering?" We look at our world and the incredible hurt that so many have to endure and wonder why God, if He is really all powerful, does not just put and end to it. While... Continue Reading →
As a parent I have found that one of the most difficult things for me to do is to provide discipline to a child who has stepped out of line. Instead of always remembering the reason for discipline in the home I am often too tired to do what needs to be done or overreact... Continue Reading →
