As a Christian missionary and pastor, I served in Central America for seven years and in West Africa for nine. I currently reside and minister in rural Mississippi.

Subjects that are of particular interest to me include the classics, philosophy, biographies, history and theology.

We are living in a time in history where this world is experiencing societal change and upheaval at an unprecedented rate. I wanted to try my hand at giving my own version of a future that I hope we never experience. Along the way, perhaps the reader will receive a perspective that challenges him/her to think about their own individual role in shaping that future. And I hope it proves to be an entertaining read!

J-Curve: Dying and Rising With Jesus in Everyday Life

[image error]


The understandable tendency of the Protestant church is to lean heavily on the doctrine of justification. After all, as Calvin rightly appraised, “Justification is the main hinge upon which salvation turns.” 


The Reformation was largely a backlash against the Roman Catholic interpretation of sanctification–a “sanctification” divorced from the biblical foundation of justification. I
