I want to say that I am thankful for technology, and all the things that it provides for us. But, like everything good that God provides or makes available to us the enemy distorts and perverts it. I am glad that I have a technology platform to speak to you from, but it grieves my heart the things that I see “Christians” and “preachers” say or comment on social media to or about other Christians.

We live in a world that is so negative that I often feel that I need to go home and take a shower some days to get the negativity off of me. Just because we are Christians doesn’t mean that we are exempt from the influences of the world. We may be saved, sanctified and heaven bound, but still be influenced by the things around us.

As you look at the word witnesses you have to ask yourself what exactly does that mean. We know what a witness is in the legal sense and it can be accredited to this verse, but that is a weak interpretation of the true meaning.

In today’s world people are standing up for the strangest things and being completely confident that they are right. There is a church of the spaghetti monster and the members have petitioned and won to have their drivers license picture taken with a spaghetti colander on their head like a hat. To you and I that would seem really strange (and it is), but to these individuals they are so sold out to this idea that they don’t care what people think.

Welcome to my blog. I will use this format to hopefully encourage you, challenge you and most of all stir up your hunger for God and His word. I will tell you that I by no means think I know or understand it all. I do have education and I continuously “study to show myself approved.” Gayle and I have been in ministry for 30 years with 20 of that in “fulltime ministry” whatever that means.
