When I worked at Amscot, a check cashing place in Florida, we were often told the phrase "trust, but verify".

Are Your Beliefs Biblical?
Shortly after I was saved, I bought a Bible and told myself that I would treat it as if I had never read it before. Slowly, but surely, I reread the stories I was told as a child and saw them through fresh eyes. When I came to learn what Reformed Theology was, I hesitated … Continue reading Are Your Beliefs Biblical?

The Perfect Church
I miss my church in Phoenix. A lot. It's called New City and it's located in Central Phoenix, which is about an hour or more from where we live now. The pastor's name is Brian Krukenberg. He doesn't preach on a screen; he's live at the only "campus" in Phoenix. There's no fancy expensive backdrops … Continue reading The Perfect Church
