Christian Case Makers, Your Marriage Is Bigger Than Your Spouse
If you’re dedicated to becoming a good Christian Case Maker, I bet you’ve discovered just how hard it is to find the appropriate balance necessary to study, share what you believe, and maintain your responsibilities as a spouse, parent or employee. I also struggle, but my experience as a pastor…
God’s Word Is To Be Used As Cover, Not Concealment
In the three years I worked on a SWAT team, I came to learn the important distinction between “cover” and “concealment”. On a number of occasions, our team was required to enter a location to engage or extract an armed suspect. In times like these, SWAT officers try to use…
The Dangers of “Scientism” and an Over-Reliance on Science
