Groups like ACBC (The Association of Certified Biblical Counselors) are highly recommending Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund. You might be wondering, what is all the hype? Should I read it? Others are weighing in, saying this book is “d...

Like last year, I’m using Tim Challies’ reading challenge to help guide my reading for this year. I’ll post monthly updates this year for tho...

Discipling is a team sport. Being a Christian is not primarily an individualistic thing. Just as you would never try to win a soccer match or a football game by yourself, ultimately being built up into the likeness of Christ is not something you c...

I guess it’s true—you are never too old to learn something new. That is even true for things you didn’t want or need to learn. A few weeks ago, I was talking with some men about mentoring younger, inexperienced fathers. Not one of us ...

While reading the book of Exodus with my family a few weeks ago we came upon the scene at the foot of Mt. Sinai where Aaron molds a golden calf at the commissioning of the people while Yahweh met with Moses on the mountain above them. Talk about s...

There are things I have been praying about for well over 20 years. Praying faithfully, fervently, and regularly. So far, I have seen nothing to indicate God has heard or is acting response to these requests. I see no hint of any activity that woul...

We had planned for our California vacation for months, back to one of our favorite spots, a small coastal town in the central part of the state. A charming small motel, just across the street from the ocean, big red Adirondack chairs facing the su...

Well, like everyone else, I started this year with good intentions. And, like everyone else, my intentions didn't amount to much! Thanks, 2020. But seriously, for all its grieving, frustration, and difficulty, there were some pretty solid silver l...

Undoubtedly, many Christians in the U.S. were disappointed at the outcome of the recent presidential election. Then there’s COVID-19 with its restrictions, job losses, cancelled vacations and sadly, its deaths. It seems like a year with a lot to...

Hopefully by now you’ve heard that we’ve got something big planned for this Christmas Eve! So far we’ve said it will be nothing like any Christmas Eve service you’ve been to before, and that’s it’s going to be a lot of fun. But by far ...

A couple years ago, part of my pre-lit Christmas tree went dark, leaving my cozy view looking a little stark. I felt embarrassed about taking a picture of it—it wasn’t the perfectly beautiful Christmas tree that I’ve put up every year and co...

In a season of world and national turmoil, strife and uncertainty there are a couple of things to remember before we look at the finances themselves. First, is to find our peace and rest in the sovereign God of the universe who is ruling over all!...

When Government Steps Out of Its Jurisdiction Many cop shows and movies carry this story line. A big city federal agent shows up to a small-town crime scene. He waves his badge and tells the small-town sheriff that he is in charge now. Th...

Ministry While we often think of England as the land of the Puritans and Spurgeon, the current climate in England is one of abject spiritual darkness. The statistics about the modern church in the UK demonstrate that, while England...

Every year I like to set a reading goal for myself to help me stay focused on learning and growing. For three out of the last four years, I have used ...

I’m not real sure about this article! I’ve wanted to write something about the racism issue, maybe some thoughts on a biblical response to racism. But who ...

As Mrs. Sorenson, a lovely, silver-haired lady, exited church one Sunday morning, she warmly grasped the Pastor’s hand and exclaimed: “Oh, Pastor, what a wonderful sermon! I will never forget it!” But then she chuckled, “What am I saying...

As believers in Christ, we have become members of one another as we share in Christ. We are all together members of Christ’s body (1 Corinthians 12:12-31). We have all been grafted into Christ (John 15:1-11). As we share in Christ’s body, we a...

Discipleship is a vital aspect of our lives and is a command from God. When Matthew 28:19-20 calls us to, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,” it doesn’t leave o...

We are in a once in a century vortex. We are living through a difficult to pin-down pandemic. Everyone is weighed down by the constant flux of laws and guidelines that govern daily life. Its a presidential election year with both colliding and fra...

Our nation is in a fragile state right now. The amount of anger, hate, destruction, hurt, and controversy swirling around is unlike anything I’ve seen in my lifetime. The issues at hand are emotional ones for sure – how can they not be when yo...

Faith Bible Church has the amazing privilege of housing and supporting the Master’s Seminary's Spokane campus! By participating in pouring into the lives of the men being trained, Faith Bible Church has a gospel partnership with these men and th...

If Jesus doesn’t return, where are the pastors and missionaries in 2070 going to come from in the Inland Northwest? We would pray that some of them would be trained by the men currently attending The Master’s Seminary Spokane. Training pastor...

“Does sin have sizes or degrees?” This question was posed to me during our missionary church planting context in Tenerife. Maybe you have asked the same or similar question. Why would we ask this question? Maybe we have wanted to win a theolog...

Greetings Faith Bible Church We have some great news from the Governor’s office. We are able to start reopening with up to 200 people in the auditorium for in-person services! It’s a really good start in the process. Here is wha...

I crave silence. I really do. My normal workday is non-stop talking and listening to people on the phone to assist them with their damaged house or car or boat, and sometimes listening to them scream and curse for various reasons. I talk with a...

They were just barely graduated from high school, but they were in love and happy as can be – spending all their time together and neglecting all other relationships – so of course why wouldn’t they get married? He said he just wasn�...
