God’s Will and Fighting Cancer
If you have not seen this msnbc article about Matt Chandler and his fight with cancer you should read it today. It is one of the most personally challenging and inspiring things I have read in a while. Matt is a guy I have looked up to for a long time because of his preaching. But I admire how he is preaching with his life and how he lives out his faith even more.

Why should I get married?
This past Sunday we finished our singles series at NewSpring Chruch entitled “don’t get married until.” If you are interested in watching the messages from this series you can view them here.
In light of that series, I have had many conversations with people that ask me this question: How do you know when you’ve found the right one?
Here are my thoughts on that question…You should only get married because you know (not think) that God has called you to marry this person. You should get married because you realize that you can never go as far, or accomplish as much alone for God as you can with this person. That is when you know that you’ve found the right one.
So what are some practical ways that you can know? Continue reading ‘Why should I get married?’

Jesus Is Coming Back
The truth that Jesus is coming back was the focus of my most recent article for the Anderson Independent:
Jesus is coming back. I don’t know if that has been something you have thought about this week, but it is true. One of the main topics we get questions about at our church is the End Times, and what the Bible has to say about the return of Christ. Continue reading ‘Jesus Is Coming Back’
