I am going through a series with the students right now with the same title as this blog post: "Why We Believe What We Believe". I firmly believe that if we know what we believe we will be able to stand up under scrutiny, but if we know why we believe what we believe, we will be able to stand...
We began this series yesterday by asking ourselves the question, "Are you ready?" As Pastor Dan mentioned on Sunday, one of the most important steps to readying ourselves to meet Christ is growing in our knowledge and understanding of the Lord. We must ask ourselves: Are we...
Are we ready? This is a question that is frequently asked around our home. For the almost seven years Ashley and I have been married we are frequently preparing to leave together and checking to make sure we will be ready to leave. This task has become a little more difficult...
