How the Bible Influenced Star Wars
Since today is Palm Sunday and we are entering into Passion Week leading up to Good Friday and Easter, I wanted to share a small snippet of that story, which may have influenced Star Wars. But even if you don’t care about Star Wars, it’s still a really cool story that shows God’s power. The…

In Case You Were Born Yesterday
As I sit here drinking Yogi green tea I can’t help but think of all the people who don’t know anything yet. These are the people who were born yesterday, the ones who still haven’t heard about Reddit or still believe in Santa Claus. This isn’t a completely exhaustive list, but it’s the stuff that…

Why the World Needs Jesus
Who is Jesus? What does it mean to be saved? Are we still in need of a savior? Can Jesus hear our prayers? Do you have faith? Do you believe? Who is God? Why are we here? What is the meaning of life? Why do bad things happen to people who love God? What is…

Rise Up to a Beautiful Day
The last dream I had before waking up involved an elderly class alumni group getting up and singing a praise and worship song together as a presentation. One of the members was playing piano and leading the song. It was a traditional song that (in the dream) I recognized as being a traditional hymn that…
