30 years ago – always an Ider Hornet
As I saw social media posts from families who had graduates this week, I was reminded that it was 30 years ago this week when my classmates and I walked across the field at Wayne C. Hardman Stadium.

The best study Bible
Frequently, I am asked which study Bible I recommend. If you want to dig into the Word, then a good study Bible is the best investment you can make.

Counting down to Easter Sunday – and every Sunday!
1 Corinthians 15 is one of the most famous chapters in the Bible. It is commonly referred to as the “Resurrection Chapter” not because it tells the story of Jesus’ resurrection but because it speaks of the necessity of it and how it applies to our lives today. As we approach Easter Sunday 2018, IContinue reading “Counting down to Easter Sunday – and every Sunday!”
The suicide question
Suicide. Just typing the word sends chills up my spine. On a few occasions, I have ministered to families who had a family member take their own life and I have seen up close the enormous pain and despair that comes. A few years ago, the son of well known pastor Rick Warren took hisContinue reading “The suicide question”
