Honoring Fallen Soldiers
Today (23 September 2013) I had the honor of being part of the Memorial Tribute Ceremony hosted by the U.S. Army Military Police Corps Regiment and supported by the Military Police Regimental Association, at Fort Leonard Wood Missouri as part of the MP Regimental Anniversary Week events. Among those attending the ceremony held at the MP Memorial Grove were family members and friends of […]
September 11, 2001: A Personal Reflection
September 11, 2001 began like any other day for me. It was a Tuesday, so I was meeting with men from the church for breakfast at the Corner Cafe just a few miles down State Highway 96 from my church in Clifton Springs, New York. The breakfast for us was uneventful. As I recall, there were just […]
Is Russia Becoming the “Protector of the Faith”?
I find it interesting that our Cold War opponent is getting closer to defending the faith while the United States is seeking to distance itself from it. I came across this post by Bryana Johnson at The High Tide and the Turn, where she contends that the former Soviet Union, having lived through their period of anti-God, is […]
Homosexuality and the New Testament
In my last post, I explored the Old Testament view of homosexuality showing how both God’s original intent and continuing desire was for marital and sexual relationships to be confined to couples of the opposite sex. The New Testament continues this view as it hearkens back to Old Testament teaching to continue the prohibition against same-sex […]
Homosexuality and the Old Testament
Homosexuality is all over the news these days. The U.S. military was forced to lead the way in accepting this perversion of God’s ideal sexuality. Not long after the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in the military, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down certain provisions of the Defense of Marriage Act, […]

Are You a Good Neighbor?
The gospel reading for this past Sunday [July 14, 2013] was Luke 10:25-37 where a lawyer inquires of Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus answered him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your […]
Service Member Honored by Act of Compassion at Nazarene General Assembly
OK, I’m not certain that this was a service member, but based on the picture and the fact that he said he has PTSD, it is a reasonable assumption. As an Army Chaplain, my heart goes out to those who are surviving and recovering from over a decade of persistant conflict. Most people who are […]
3 Common Traits of Youth Who Don’t Leave the Church
We all know the statistics that caution us we need to win our children for Christ while they are still young since the odds against their making a decision for Christ grows as they get older. We all know someone (probably many someones) who verify this statistic. Fortunately, most of us also know at least one […]
