Debriefing the Les Ollila Interview
Les Ollila is the former president of Northland Baptist Bible College, now Northland International University. When I was in high school, our family had Ollila in for a meal when he was in Watertown, WI to speak at the Wisconsin State Youth Conclave. I think it may have been the first ever WSYC. At that […]

How Big Is Disobedience to 2 Corinthians 6:14?
The Corinthians were shutting the Apostle Paul out because of the influence of unbelievers. The prescription was a command in 2 Corinthians 6:14, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.” Then Paul spends several verses giving reasons why to obey this command.

Why Does this President of the United States Remain Popular?
If the Republicans had even a slightly better candidate than Mitt Romney for President in 2012, I believe they would have won the election. I say this because of the after-election reports that conservatives did not show up. Less people voted than 2008, so a big Republican turn-out could have swung the election the other […]
Origin of the Universe and Life: Random or Designed

If you accept them, that changes everything for you. You are no longer free to assign meaning and value to the world. God does that for you. Since there […]
Has God Made Numerical Church Growth Difficult to Figure Out or Hard to Understand?
The church in Jerusalem grew. As it grew, it built bigger buildings, its leaders became famous, were approached for book contracts, and scheduled for large conferences, and many came from all over to visit to find its secret. No. Nothing like that. Its members fled for their lives and nearly all its leaders were […]

What Can We Conclude from How Big Churches Get or How Small They Are?
This week I was reading the tale of a pastor in which he compared his time of pastoring a small congregation with little to no numerical growth to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The idea was that God was putting him to death, crucifying him, through this experience of staying small despite his sincerity, intentions, […]
