what is man?
I am sure the untimely and inconvenient news was a shock to the two unwed teenagers the summer of 1979. The news, “You’re pregnant!” Abortion might have been an option, but both their Catholic parents discouraged it and encouraged the baby to be born. I am grateful my two parents decided on the side of [...]
the sanctity of life
January 22nd is the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. As a result, today in the US, 1 unborn child is killed every 23 seconds. When you stop to realize that the US only accounts for 3% of abortions worldwide, you realize that there is a relentless global slaughter underway. May God exercise both his mercy [...]
multiply: Chad
I want to encourage you to take 5-minutes and watch this short video. It is a short project that Pioneers issued to mobilize servants to consider North Africa.

paying the price of pride
What makes Christianity different that all other religions? It’s grace. A single word captures the difference between Christianity and all other religions. Grace. Every other religion allows me to pay at least something for the tow. And if I pay anything at all then pride will wolf it down and the vines will begin to [...]
how much does Jesus love the church?
hands Enough to pay an unimaginable price to bring her into complete alignment with himself. His hands tell the story. They are wonderful hands. Hands that fashion the Universe. “All things were created through him and for him.” Hands that took on flesh and became tiny baby hands. Hands that became tough as he practiced [...]
homeless
The Hutts are homeless. Two weeks ago we official closed on our home. The little plot of land on Battleview Dr in central Indiana that we owned (well that the bank owned) is no longer ours to claim as home. It was a joyful yet sorrowful day for us. Sarah and I have really been [...]
busyness is laziness
How does busyness affect our spiritual lives? Busyness is the enemy of spirituality. It is essentially laziness. It is doing the easy thing instead of the hard thing. It is filling our time with our own actions instead of paying attention to God’s actions. It is taking charge. Busyness has to do with activity, and [...]

are you too comfortable with the Bible?
Why do you suppose we have become so comfortable with the Scripture? I think it’s partly our sin. One of the devil’s finest pieces of work is getting people to spend three nights a week in Bible studies. The Bible is all there to be lived. It was given to us so we could live [...]

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds [James 1:2] Pray to Strengthen Persecuted Christians. Christians worldwide are being persecuted for their faith. That’s a fact.

IMMANUEL: Jesus be incarnate in me
This week I swept my wife away for a romantic getaway in the woods of Milton, Ontario. We left our daughter in the delightful care of her grandparents.

Christmas: It’s “Supernatural!”
There’s no way I can think of Christmas and not also think of the term “supernatural.” Its definition certainly lends weight to this conclusion. “Relating to or attributed to phenomena that cannot be explained by natural laws,” (The Encarta Dictionary). So what events in the original Christmas story were supernatural by nature? First, there was [...]
