A Little About My Purpose for This Blog

Welcome!

I'm Kris. In my normal daily life I am a mild mannered Construction Manager, but by night and through my spare time I become an even more mild mannered pastoral student. I am studying it as a second career, and I enjoy every minute.

I currently am involved in prison ministry where I prepare and deliver a sermon to the attending inmates of a local county jail, 20 souls on average. I hope to expand to a second county jail in my area soon. I am also deeply involved in other areas of evangelical outreach and inreach

This Weblog will be posted with my sermons, letters, thoughts, and various meanderings. Please feel free to comment on all of the posts.

Just a little disclaimer here. While the vast majority of my work posted here is original, I do occasionally borrow a few quotes, a paragraph or two, and NIV bible verses in my sermons. I feel they demonstrate a point well and I may choose to incorporate them. I will make my best effort to give credit when due. If the quotes are copyrighted, and I, by mistake, don't give credit to the human being who wrote it, allow me to apologize by acknowledging the source of the quote: to God be the Glory!

I also will be commenting on things said publicly by people in the news. I will be sure to give them credit.

I believe in today's society there are a scary amount people following the lies and idols of men. There are so many people that are following lies and half truths, thinking they are right. It is my goal to help these people see their wrongs and change their ways before they meet their maker and have to answer for their lives and give God a good reason why they deserve heaven.

Sounds real righteous doesn't it? If I were a young foolish boy, I'd feel pretty good about that, and go forth with the attitude that it is what I do or what I say will save you.

I am firmly convinced that God can handle that on his own and doesn't need me to save people. He's already taken care of that. I am just his messenger, and his humble servant devoted to His truth. Pointing out the lie, showing and explaining that truth to you is my mission, what you do with it is up to you.

God has already saved you. He has also given you a free will to choose to refuse this saving gift of salvation in unbelief. I encourage you to ask questions, leave comments, debate me.....whatever.

Profanities will be deleted, but not necessarily the entire post if it is conducive to a good discussion.

So please, read on, enjoy, and may God bless you.
