About This Blog


I am a follower of Jesus Christ who has grown up in the Church. I often say that I am a believer in spite of the church, not because of it. Yet, God has used my experience in various churches to spur me on to explore Scripture for understanding of how to be “in the world but not of the world.”

I am a husband, father of 3 girls, a chemical salesman, and part-time home maintenance man. I have had the privilege of having some formal Bible Training at Talbot School of Theology and LeTourneau College (now University).

I am under no delusions that this blog is profound or original. If anything, I offer these posts as food for thought and would appreciate any feed back you might have. I want to engage the world around me and this blog is a small effort to do so. I welcome your comments, positive or negative.

A word of thanks to Nate Davis of Davis Services Group (DSG) for his help in getting this blog up and running. Please click on the link and check out what DSG has to offer. I want to also thank Dan Simrak for his help with formatting and style of the blog. If you are thinking about doing a self-hosted blog, I highly recommend DSG for hosting and development.

If you have any general comments or suggestions about how to improve this blog, please feel free to use the Contact Me page or leave a comment below. I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Soli Deo Gloria,

Mark

The law of unintended consequences

The church is to be intentional in her quest to make disciples. But a wrongheaded emphasis on short term gains might lead to an unintended consequence.

Question Mark

Great Packaging + Great Product = Integrity

As consumers we know that beautiful packaging does not guarantee the quality of the product inside. The photo on the box often looks much better than the content. On the other hand, with the rise of store brands, we know that good stuff can be found in very plain packages. Visually stunning packaging is done […]

Good news . . . bad news

I have some really good news and some (sort of) bad news.
