HE First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the right of free speech for American citizens. This keeps the state from oppressing those who hold discenting views contrary to those of the government. It is a foundational right for religious freedom as well. But is it a Christian value?
EN Fuson was a journalist. He dropped out of college to jump at an opportunity to write. He developed a gambling problem. He had a relationship with Jesus that changed his life. And Ken wrote his own obituary. Here it is.
OUR local gym might give you a better picture of church life than you realize. For the “most wonderful time of the year” I made a simple resolution. Instead of gaining five pounds from festive foods, I would work harder in the gym to offset the increased calorie intake. My time at the YMCA made me reflect on church life.

HIS weekend my wife and I had the privilege of heading to Maine to celebrate the marriage of two dear friends, Sowmya and Zach. We’ve known them for many years and it has been a joy to see the Lord’s kind provision in their lives. Below is my wedding sermon.
