Changes Coming

The Lord has been doing big things in my life here in the last few months. My family and I have moved to Upstate NY, and I have become the Senior Pastor of Open Bible Baptist Church. I am super blessed and very excited! Please expect to see changes to this site as we make […]

Tell Your Children

Tell your children and your children their children, and their children another generation. Joel 1:3 Sometimes, for various reasons, children and parents disconnect from each other when the children grow up. It is very unfortunate because it is important for children to glean from their parents a good understanding of the past and their perspective […]

Listen to This

Listen to this, old people, and hear with your ears all earthly inhabitants! Has this happened in your days, or in the days of your fathers? Joel 1:2 Jesus says a very similar thing many times when teaching on earth. Listen with your ears. It is meant to alert everyone to the importance and urgency […]

Joel

The Word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. Joel 1:1 This can be taken as the title of this writing. We do not know a lot about Joel. There is debate as to the timing of his writing. But, the content shows that the timeline followed the destruction of the […]

This verse puts all of life into the proper perspective. While the first part of the verse is wonderful, the second part is […]

Always Learning

In the USA, and our world, we are constantly bombarded with information. New ideas are flying our way all the time. We cannot seem to go through a day without hearing or seeing something new. Of course we might say, ‘Isn’t that a good thing?’ The answer might be yes, but it is quite often […]

Dependence Day

I think ‘Thanksgiving’ is a great name for this day. It reminds us of our appropriate response to what the day is about. It works well, and does not need modification. But I have an alternate name for this day to share with you. It is no replacement, it simply speaks to the cause of […]

Your Baseline

In addition to being a revival speaker, I work in Information Technology. One of my favorite tools used in IT is what is known as a baseline. A baseline is a set of data that tells a company what their environment usually looks like. It gives IT a measure by which to know when things […]
