Dating

The Dating Life

There isn’t a ton written about dating specifically in the Bible. There are plenty of reasons for that. The biggest one is probably because when the Bible was written dating wasn’t a thing. It is ok though, just because dating is never specifically mentioned doesn’t mean that there isn’t plenty in there about it. After […]

This Is How You Fight Your Battles

We all have battles that we face. Some of them are big, life-changing battles. Some are small battles that jump up to trip you on your journey. There are other battles that you fight each and every single day for years. You might think that your battles aren’t anything compared to someone else’s. Or, you […]

Parent

The Role of a Parent in Discipleship

Before I became a parent I thought that I knew everything about being one. Once I became a parent I realized how untrue that first sentence was. Parenting is tough. Parenting is tough because it matters. Things that matter can be tough. I love being a parent, but some days I feel as though I […]

Worship

Worship Is As Worship Does

What comes to mind when you think of worship? It’s probably safe to say discipleship is towards the bottom of that list… which is probably topped by “singing” or “music” or “praise”… or if you are really brave “hand-raising”. (Hopefully skinny-jeans didn’t make the cut!) I’ll be honest… I tend to think of those things […]

Discipleship

Disciple Me

One of the most beautiful things about Salem is that it truly is a multi-generational church.

I am talking about having a bunch of different generations serving and worshiping together. Whether it is AWANA, Valentine’s banquets, […]

Don’t Get Distracted

I get distracted easily. As a matter of fact, I get distracted so easily that I don’t even realize that I am being distracted. Many times I don’t even realize I was distracted until days later. The other day my wife was reminding me of what we had planned to do with part of our […]

Discipline

Punishment Or Discipline

Though we might feel like it sometimes, there is no such thing as a perfect kid. I have an awesome kid, you have an awesome kid, all kids are awesome! But, none of them are perfect. All children will mess up. Toddlers will pitch a fit in the middle of a crowded restaurant. Teenagers will […]
