 
Soil of the Heart and Mind
The Bible uses farming as a way of explaining the process of getting God’s truth out and into people’s hearts and minds. Let’s think of our heart and mind as soil and God’s truth as seed that could be planted in that soil. What kind of soil are you? How receptive are you to learning, being encouraged and challenged?

GODISNOWHERE Change in the Air
What do the letters above say to you? Is it Emanuel or affirmation of unbelief?
Recently I started a teaching series on the Holy Spirit. Never done an entire series before, even though I preach periodic sermons on our need for the Spirit. I decided to seek some teaching outside my denomination of origin.

I Don't Think I Want to Be a Christian Any More!
I read recently in a Christian publication that the so called “Christian brand” has negative associations for many people. Gee, I didn’t realize “Christian” was a brand name. Snide remark aside, I do realize that “Christian” is a term that has negative associations for many people. So much so in other parts of the world that missionaries are now calling themselves “Jesus followers” instead.

You Can't Say Jesus in School
I’ve been teaching in the public schools for 22 years. This could easily have been my primary vocation, a high school or middle school teacher. I love young people, even if some of them don’t think so during those times when I have to correct them. My primary vocation has always been in ministry.

You Can Say Jesus in School if You Fight to Do So
It could have ended badly, my dismissal from teaching at Namaan Forest High School. Could have, if I had failed to fight the decision made by the Assistant Principal, who told me that I was being dismissed and disallowed from teaching due to the fact that I had mentioned the name of Jesus in the classroom. Although, as I mentioned in the previous editorial, I had not spoken Jesus’ name; rather a character I play in a film I showed in class did so. Either way, I am not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus.
