I'm preparing a sermon for this Sunday on Ephesians 2:1-10. It's a great passage, and mostly it's fairly straightforward, but there's one phrase that's is a bit confusing. Check it out: "And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the… Continue reading The Prince of the Power of the Air
Pray for Egypt

If you've been following the situation in Egypt at all in the last two years, you'll know what a volatile place it is right now. This post was about two… Continue reading Pray for Egypt

As this is my first blog post, I might… Continue reading My First Blog Post
