In Trouble with God

In Joshua chapter 7 we read about Achan’s sin. In short, Achan, an Israelite, broke a direct command of God by taking some of the “devoted things” from Jericho. Jericho was given to the Israelites as the first city to fall on their way to conquering and occupying the Promised Land. God made it clear that all the gold and sliver items were to be put in the treasury and no one should take them (see Joshus 6). The consequences of taking these things would be to forfeit God...

Husband Challenge

  In every wedding I perform, I love taking a moment to truly challenge the groom in what it means to be a husband. By the way, I do a great wedding (inside joke)! After the ceremony is over, it never fails that there are one or two people who want to comment about the “husband challenge.” Sometimes it’s a wife who says, “I wish my husband could have been here to hear that.” Sometimes it’s a husband standing with his wife...

The 6 Myths of Romance

Bigfoot. The Loch Ness Monster. The Hover Board from the 1989 classic Back to the Future 2.  All myths. All cool ideas (especially the hover board) but nothing to validate the claims to their existence. Similarly, I’ve run across a few myths regarding love, marriage and romance. These myths continually resurface like pictures of Bigfoot on the internet, as men and women make their way down the path of romance. Here are a few I’ve identified, I hope this helps bring...
