9/11 and You
My sister had a 9:00 a.m. appointment at the World Trade Center.
On September 12.
Since September 11, 2001, I've often wondered what might have happened had her appointment been a day earlier or the terrorist attacks a day later. I could have been walking the streets of New York City with her picture.
What were your feelings that tragic...... >Read More

Remembering September 11th
On September 11, 2001 I said my first prayer. My son was a police officer with the New York Police Department. As I sat watching the Twin Towers burn, at first I thought that he was fine since he worked a desk job at One Police Plaza. But what if he went over to help?
“Please God,” I said, “if... >Read More

Does God Care?
We’ve watched our TV screens in horror. The pain and agony of fellow human beings in the midst of disaster goes beyond our comprehension. We grapple with the magnitude of it. Our minds scramble to make sense of it and we simply cannot. Opinions fly from every side. “Its God’s judgment,” some say. Others say, “It’s a sign of... >Read More

Why is There Suffering in the World?
We've seen the photographs of smoke and rubble where the World Trade Center used to stand. We watched in horror as a 767 airliner carefully banked and crashed straight into one of the towers. We are shaken, shocked and grieving, unable to take our eyes away from the images of smoke and ash, unable to begin to count the... >Read More

Why does evil exist?
If God exists, why is there evil in the world? You know, this is a difficult stumbling block and question for many people. The simplest way to look at this question is to examine God's nature and his desire for mankind. Look at the logic. God loves us and wants us to love him back. And how could we... >Read More

Surviving the Tsunami
I remember that day very clearly, that day when 186,983 people died and 42,883 went missing. People started running and screaming. My wife came to me while I was on the deck of a cabin on the Phi Phi Islands of Thailand. She told me we should go. Of course I’m the kind of guy that just rolls over... >Read More
