Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NIV

If you’ve been following this blog, then you know that I took some time off to care for my mom. Her health was declining along with progressing dementia.

I want to thank all of you who were praying for my wife and I during this difficult season in our lives. It made a real difference.

My mother passed into the presence of the Lord in May. Then, my family and I took a long-needed vacation. Now that I’m back, I feel an increased desire to minister the truth of God’s Word.

As I start writing again, there’s an important issue that God has placed on my heart. While I was taking the time off, I read an article about some people who recently left the faith and why they did so.

I’m going to post a couple of articles dealing with this subject. There seems to be an epidemic right now of those who are turning away from Christ. It’s a serious issue and I want to treat it as such.

I believe that many of the reasons can be explained by the modern foolishness that goes on in some of our churches. We need to once again make Christ the center of our focus.

That’s one of the things I’ll be dealing in some of these posts. I hope that you’ll continue to join with me in this journey.
