Why Faith & Work? (Part 1) – Gospel

It was a Sunday afternoon. I walked out my back garage to toss the trash. I opened the green can, heaved in the white plastic bag, and breathed in … the stench of smoke. As I shut the can I moseyed out to my driveway to investigate. I looked up in the sky. The sun […]

Hope for Crooked Timber: The Manger and The Cross

Have you ever tried to read the Bible straight through? The story starts out well enough. Genesis is full of engaging and wild stories.

Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy […]

Investing and a Biblical Worldview
