A Great Analogy for Christian Life…

Written on March 9, 2011 – 12:46 pm | by dave |

I am in the process of finishing out the last few pages of Brennan Manning’s wonderful book “The Ragamuffin Gospel” and I came across a story that seemed very familiar to me. After thinking back, I have seen it in two other books that I have read recently but this time it really spoke to […]

Open to Options again

It has been over a year since I started at Agape Baptist church and I have been cooling my heels and regrouping myself spiritually. However, on Valentine’s Day this week, I went back to that church to attend the wedding of two of my former students. One of those students is the one who told […]

Hello friends! I am excited to tell you that God has led me to a new ministry opportunity in my home church of Northwest Baptist Church, OKC. I have been working rather actively in the Children’s Ministry with the 3 year olds and that’s been fun but now a new ministry has been placed in […]

It has been some time since I was able to update this blog with anything substantial and although I don’t like the fact that it happened, it was a necessary evil. Simply put, the world as I know it has been in a constant state of flux ever since I started this quest for ministry […]

Internal Compass Spinning

Written on July 27, 2010 – 10:50 am | by dave |

It has been almost two months since I returned from my vacation and thusly started Sundays without being a pastor.

A New Kind of Prayer

Written on July 6, 2010 – 4:54 pm | by dave |

During my time between seminary classes, I have had the wonderful opportunity to read H. Norman Wright’s “How to Find the Life You Have been Looking For.” This is a great book by a pastoral counselor who has served in the ministry for many years and has now found the way to de-clutter his life […]
