What, in the end, do we need but love and acceptance? Regardless of change.

If you only used the English definition of mystery, you may think of it as mysterious and ominous. But, when you define it Biblically, you realize that the mysteries of God are meant to be understood, taught, and applied. That is why Paul said, “Behold, I will explain a mystery to you.” (1 Corinthians 15:51, CEV). Therefore, you can and must understand God’s mysteries. They are solved, and God wants everyone to comprehend them. And, for those God has called to preach, He wants them to be faithful stewards, sharing them with His Church!

God called me to preach at the age of 11, and three years later, in 1987, I began preaching. My pastor taught me to be intentional about “sermon seeds,” writing down ideas and studying and preaching them when able. This book is a collection of un-preached messages from 1987 to the present. Through the years, my files have grown from hand-written notes to electronic notes on tablets, computers, and smartphones. These files encourage me, especially when my emotional well runs dry. Sometimes God brings something out of those folders and anoints me to preach it. Other times, the files grow ...

What's the best political system? What standards should we use to decide, and why? Arguments for Liberty is a guide to thinking about these questions. Two schools of thought have long dominated libertarian discussions about ethics: utilitarianism and natural rights.

The Battle of New Market in the Shenandoah Valley suffers from no lack of drama, interest, or importance. The ramifications of the May 1864 engagement, which involved only 10,000 troops, were substantial. Previous studies, however, focused on the Confederate side of the story.
