Steps to Sharing the Gospel with Your Family During Christmas

December 8, 2011

Since Crossway made it free for Kindle, I’ve been browsing through Randy Newman’s book, Bringing the Gospel Home: Witnessing to Your Family Members, Your Close Friends, and Others You Know Well.  This is an incredibly important topic as I have come to find it harder to share the gospel with family members as it is [...]

Hershey

August 2, 2011

I was a young, immature 18 year-old kid fresh out of the house in my first year of college when I walked into my hometown pet store to meet a whimpering puppy who I would take home with me.  That puppy would spend the next 14 years of my life with me, numbering every year [...]

Gospel-Centered Families

June 1, 2010

Starting this Sunday, Grace will be spending the next 12 weeks on Gospel-Centered Family by Tim Chester and Ed Moll.  I was really looking forward to teaching it, but after meeting with my fellow pastors, I am transitioning to focus more on leadership development and growing our church family in the areas of gospel, community, [...]

POTW :: Swingin

April 9, 2010

View in Flickr (See it LARGE) View in Flickr (See it LARGE) Aiden had his first shot at the neighborhood swings, and needless to say, he loved it.  I’ve had some sweet moments with the boys this week, and I pray that I will always have front-row seats to watch them grow up. My heart [...]

View in Flickr (See it LARGE) View in Flickr (see it LARGE) I suppose I’m not the only who is experiencing crazy moments this time of the year.  Lots going on.  The photos above are from a much-needed family outing to Miromar Outlets.

POTW :: Tubing

March 26, 2010

View in Flickr (See it LARGE) View in Flickr (See it LARGE) Yesterday morning, my wife and I took our 10-month-old son to the hospital to have tubes put into his ears.  He has had ear infections since mid-January, and over the course of the past three months fluid has continued to develop and worsen [...]

POTW :: Back Again

March 20, 2010

View in Flickr (See it LARGE) View in Flickr (See it LARGE) Man, it has been probably a year or more since I have done a POTW.  As much as I love photography, it has been one of those things that gets laid aside when you have these two little ones by your side.   [...]

View in Flickr (see it LARGE) View in Flickr (see it LARGE) View in Flickr (see it LARGE) A couple of weeks ago, we took Nolan for his first haircut.  As you could imagine from the photos, it lasted all but of maybe five minutes.  The first and last photos are a before and after [...]

Planting without a Family

January 21, 2009

Last night, Scott Thomas asked the question, “Do you think a never-married single man should plant a church?” This question has been raised before, but I have not really thoroughly thought through it.  Can a single man  pastor a church, plant a church, or minister in a church?  Are there biblical prohibitions? Exceptions? Prescriptions?  These [...]

Happy Birthday Nolan!

December 18, 2008

This time one year ago, I was sitting in the labor and delivery room watching the contraction meter anxiously awaiting the birth of our precious little boy.  The journey as a father and the beginning of our family has been an incredible ride! I will never forget the first seconds of seeing Nolan, and I [...]
