Yesterday, we concluded the Crossroads series with a message entitled, “The Messiah Tension.” Many people are confused really if Jesus meets the qualifications of the long-awaited Messiah. I talked about three major objections to Jesus in my message before getting to the real objection. The real objection to following Jesus for many people is they …
Today was week 2 in the Crossroads series. The message today centered on “The Muslim Salvation.” In my message, I spent half of the time giving the history of the prophet Muhammad and the foundation of Islam. For the second part of the message, I explained five key differences between Islam and Christianity. We had …
Today was the first day of the “Crossroads” series. The message topic was “The Jewish Faith.” The praise band did great today. It is such an honor to be led by worship by those guys and gal. Their exaltation of Jesus being the only way led to my message in such a simple way. The …
Three of the major world religions all claim the same source of beginning. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all hold Abraham to be the man from whom their religion began. But all three of these religions arrive at a dramatic crossroads at the person of Jesus Christ. The message, ministry, and life of Christ forever separated …
Its 8:10. I am giving my final exam for RELI 101 at Lander. Don’t the students look so studious. They have worked so hard, they are all going to make A’s on this one. Well, maybe not everyone… It’s been an honor to teach this crew this semester. They have really thought through some sacred …

Well, I have gotten a lot of questions from friends and family about my first week of class teaching at Lander, and there is a good reason I haven’t been able to blog about it yet: because I was teaching my first class at Lander this week. This week was extremely crazy for a few …
I finally finished a pretty daunting task on Friday. I finalized what the course reading would be for RELI 101: Sacred Texts and Ideas. After spending hours of reading the scriptures of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, my mind is very overloaded. The way these scriptures are written can be so completely different than …
So, yesterday, I started with a whiteboard that looked liked this: I was spending some quality time working on the Religion 101 class I will be teaching in less than a month, Sacred Texts and Ideas. I was a tad bit overwhelmed. I’ve read. I’ve thought. I’ve read some more. But I wasn’t sure how …
