Jesus or Jesus junk? (1)

On the one hand, there has never been a day like today for getting out the good news of the gospel message. On the other hand, there has never been a day like today when fewer people are interested in the real Gospel message. Once again, it’s 4:30 am and the Holy Spirit won’t let […]

Some of you are thinking, “Are you serious, Pastor Rob? Who can’t remember 10 simple commandments?” Firstly, there weren’t just ’10 simple commandments’ there […]

Ever met anyone who piously claimed to have escaped childhood and the terrible teens unscathed by all the immoral voodoo that gets so many others—YET, this person seems anything but godly?

In fact, you’d have to have been living the last decade under the proverbial rock to not have figured it out in less time […]

Sunday Evening Mind Dump!

–       Last week the Singleton’s got to rest and reflect—church at home—attendance = 4. I cherish these times—they are too few and far between! Our devotional time came from Psalm 22. An incredibly indicting Psalm if I do say so myself! Take a look at what David wrote in just the first few verses: “My […]
