055 – Why Do Bad Things Happen

Preacher Dad — Sat, 29 Apr 2023 00:05:00 +0000

I wrote a letter to a friend a few years ago trying to answer the question “Why do bad things happen?” This is one of the most important questions any Christian will face in our modern world. We must have a Biblical answer which addresses the reasons this world is evil. Many others have done […]

A Story about Christian Love…

Preacher Dad — Thu, 19 Nov 2015 16:52:31 +0000

So I was sitting in my living room the other night, enjoying a hot drink and watching my children play on the floor while my wife was reading a book, when I heard a knock on the door. I rose to answer the door, even though it is unusual to have visitors unannounced late in […]

Thoughts from Sunday…on Monday: Loving Family

Preacher Dad — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 01:48:12 +0000

At the suggestion of a beautiful woman (which don't always pan out, but this was an exceptionally beautiful woman, so it's fine) I have decided to start a new series called "Thoughts from Sunday....on Monday." In this series I will give brief thoughts from my experiences on the previous Sunday. Should spark some interesting discussion.

Yesterday I gave testimony in our local body of believers, more like an admonishment really, on the importance of showing love to family members even when they do things that are wrong or hurtful. I was so inspired by the thought that I proceeded to preach a "sermonette" on the topic to the residents of Green Acres Nursing Home later that afternoon.

John 17:26 – And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. These words of Jesus, spoken at the very end of his “High Priestly Prayer”, give us an important key to growing in the love […]

Happy 2nd Anniversary, Darling!

Preacher Dad — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:44:08 +0000

My Hetti and I are celebrating two years of marriage today! Some of you may not know how she got that nick name. She left a comment on my blog once, before we officially met. (A pre-Xanga blog.) She had to leave her email in order to comment, so I responded to her with some […]

Good quote

Preacher Dad — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 16:07:57 +0000

Here is an excellent quote from one of my favorite authors, C.S. Lewis:“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a sunhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright […]
