My friend Matt recently shared on his personal blog his opinions on Why Christians Shouldn’t Hold Political Office. It’s an interesting statement and one that immediately caused me to initially disagree with him. My initial thought is that we need MORE Christians in political offices. But Matt’s reasoning is based in scripture and honest reflection on the challenges facing a Christian holding such responsibilities. As I shared in my comment on his post though, I do still believe more Christians should be in political office, but I also believe holding a political office should really be no different than any other job.

Here’s my review of a recently released film titled “Like Arrows”. Although it is a average length for a feature movie, I’m not sure it comes across as a feature film instead of something more like an educational video or documentary of sorts. Before I dive in, here’s the official press release and movie synopsis: When conflict, rebellion, and resentment overwhelm their family, Charlie and Alice are forced to rethink their parenting strategy. In the process, they realize how critical intentionality and focus are when shaping and molding young lives. FamilyLife’s first feature film explores the challenges and joys that come with raising children. ThroughRead More →

It’s been an absolutely crazy past couple of weeks for me and I’m overdue in getting this blog post published on a video titled “Patterns of Evidence – Exodus”. The video is the exploration of a filmmaker, Timothy Mahoney, as he experienced a personal crisis of faith as more and more scholars and even some religious figures make public statements of the biblical story of Exodus not being a factual account, but more of a moral fairytale. His own challenge was that if the account was not factual, doesn’t that cast doubt upon the validity of the rest of the Bible in its entirety? IRead More →

It is with great excitement that I announce a new edition to the MissionNotes site. I have spoken with Reverend Matt Hastings and asked if he would be interested in either writing regularly for the site as I’ve been a huge fan of his weekly devotional emails he calls “Tuesday’s Good Word”. Due to his schedule and commitments as a husband, father, pastor and now professor, he regretfully let me know he didn’t believe he would have the time to write regularly, but let me know he would be pleased and honored to let me republish his weekly emails here on our site to shareRead More →

On a recent flight from Nashville to Los Angeles I was able to make use of the time by reading a book I’ve been looking forward to reading since I heard about the opportunity to review it and read a little bit about the book and the author. The full book title is “When Jesus Was a Green-Eyed Brunette: Loving People Like God Does” by Max Davis. Max has published quite a number of books but this is the first one of his that I’ve read. I enjoyed his writing style and conversational tone he used for writing the book and communicating with the reader.Read More →
