Some of you may be “standing here today” wondering if there is truth. On college campuses truth seems relevant. I’m sure you have heard it said, “I choose to live by my truth and not yours!” Imagine for a moment if this concept was followed in a sporting event. How soon would the game turn…
Biblical pictures are fascinating to me. Why? Because, the pictures show real people struggling with real issues. At the same time, the pictures show victory in the lives of those who learn to overcome by putting YHWH first in their life.

Over the years, I have had a number of men share this statement with me. It goes like this, “I know I am told to be a priest in my home, but I’m unsure what that really looks like.” This week, we are given Scriptural pictures of priests in action. And believe it or…
