The Titus Ten: Mission
Chapter 8: Mission We have all seen it. Those people standing on the side of the road with a big sign that says, “Repent or go to hell!” Or the people with a megaphone and a Bible constantly yelling the gospel on the street while everyone else is just trying to get to their destination.…

The Titus Ten: Doctrine
Chapter 7: Doctrine Lately, I have been reading the Bible just for fun. I haven’t been trying to find something to teach others, write a blog about, or even find some deep revelation.

Chapter 2: Gospel Something my dad says is, “Everything is a piece of crap waiting to break.” It sounds a bit cynical, but if we’re honest, it’s true. Cars break down. Appliances stop working.

The Bodyguard
I have always thought it would be cool to be important enough to have a personal bodyguard. Someone whose job it was to constantly protect me from danger and stay alert when I’m out in public. A person who notices threats before I do, watches my blind spots, and stays close no matter what. Most…
