Author by Night

He’s a policeman, a soldier, a programmer, a farmer, a murderer, a priest and a politician. He is anything that he wants to be. He’s a salesman by day and an author by night.

Press 7 for Christianese

January 7th, 2007
  

Christians have a language all their own and I’m not talking about their manner of speech. I’m referring to the verbiage. No one but a Christian says things like seek your face. When I am looking for my wife, I do not say I seek her face. I say I’m looking for her. How many other examples of Christianese can you think of?

The Son didn’t mimic the jargon and idioms of bygone days. He spoke clearly and plainly so that all could understand. Do Christians think their King James linguistic gymnastics will draw the world to the cross?

In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s not working, so stop it. Speak the language of the people or save your self-elevating jargon for your weekly club meetings because only those who know the secret handshake seem to appreciate it.

It sounds harsh, but you know I’m right and if not, show this to an unbeliever and see if he or she agrees. I dare you.

World Hunger

March 26th, 2006
  

It is all so very simple.

1) People are starving.
2) We have the food and the means to distribute it.

The problem is not a lack of resources. It is a lack of effort.

So you see, it is our fault after all. What did you do about it this week?

What do you give?

February 26th, 2006
  

An enemy will give you something you want.

A friend will give you something you need.

A brother will give you something he needs.

Flight in Winter

December 15th, 2005
  

Matthew 24:20
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

Everything happened so fast that even those who thought they were prepared were taken by surprise. Some thought it was the end of the world. Others, the Great Tribulation. Most had no time to think, to react, to get away.

Flight in Winter is the story of one family’s journey through perilous times. Join them as they leverage their strengths and overcome their haunting weaknesses. See how long their love, faith and hope can last when stretched beyond their limits?

In this life, some will endure the unimaginable, but for how long?

You won’t want to miss a single episode of this exciting saga of a small group of people who band together to survive what many would consider great tribulation.  Subscribers will receive a new episode via email every week.

Not only do I guarantee you be entertained, but you might actually learn something in the process.
