At one time or another you may have heard a preacher on TV saying something like, “Come to Jesus and He will give you health, wealth and happiness.” They are trying to sell people on Christianity so they will have a better life (some of these pastors are very wealthy and they live “the good life” – for now), selling this brand of Christianity.

My wife and I started a publishing company in August 2010. I wrote about this in a blog last fall called New Career. We are both convinced that it was God’s will for us to start Bound by Faith Publishers. We published Parenting Moment by Moment in October 2010 and we released Night of the Cossack April 2011.

It seems like several pastors and Christian singers lately have come out in favor of universalism. They may not even call it that, but if you listen closely to what they say, this is the direction they are going. They basically believe that since God is love, God will not punish people for their sins, He will just forgive everyone no matter what and that everyone will be alright. [Read more…]
Bad things happen. Sometimes, bad things happen to good people. I know of Christians who have recently:
• Lost their job
• Lost their home
• Been diagnosed with cancer
• Died
• Buried a baby [Read more…]
A lot of people say that they are glad that evangelism “isn’t their spiritual gift” (I know, because I used to be one of them). Other people say that God doesn’t prompt them to witness. [Read more…]
A lot of people have already planned for their summer vacation. People, budget, save up money, decide where they want to travel to, route the best way to get there, make plane and hotel reservations, etc. [Read more…]
The school year is already over for a lot of students and some only have a few days left (like my youngest daughter). So most students have taken their finals already. If you are a student how did you do? Did you get 100% on every final exam? Did you pass every test without missing a single point? [Read more…]
I recently went out witnessing with some of the guys with Born of Him Ministries at Nixa Sucker Days (no they don’ think the customers are suckers, it is named this because they deep fry fish). We carried a sign with us that said, “Can we pray for you?” Yes we got a few strange looks and a few laughs but several people took us up on the offer to pray for them! I want to thank Carl with Bezeugen Ministries for the idea.
I posted back in October 2010 that my wife and I started a new career in publishing. We published two books – Parenting Moment by Moment by Carla MacLachlan and Night of the Cossack by Tom Blubaugh. We are very pleased with the way both of these books turned out. [Read more…]
We love free gifts. Most of us love a good deal, we love to get something for free. My wife and I ate at McDonald’s the other day for lunch. Even though we were in a hurry to get there, my wife took a minute to find a coupon. I told her that I didn’t realize that McDonald’s even had coupons. But she found the coupon and we bought a fish sandwich and received one for free. Man I love saving money. I like free things (most of the time… sometimes you get what you pay for). [Read more…]
