“He [the Spirit of God] will certainly help us to ‘communicate’ the truth of God to other people, but he becomes our enemy the moment we attempt to modify the wisdom of God to fit the ‘cleverness’ of the twentieth century. The stern words of Paul have a peculiar aptness to the modern situation when he says, ‘The foolishness of God is wiser then men.’ (1 Cor. 1:25)”

I am a pastor, a husband, and father. A small, town about twenty miles west of Pittsburgh is home currently, though several other places have served that purpose before this. I do some carving in wood and small stones. I like taking photographs and use a lot of them in my blog posts. I've recently taken up fishing for the first time since I was a kid. I'm blessed in that regard to have a very nice trout stream flowing right past my church.
