"For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified."
Mark 9:14-29 v.14And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes [Torah teachers] disputing with them. While Jesus, Peter, James, and John were away, a crowd gathered around the other nine disciples. The scribes saw this as a great time to engage the disciples in a debate. So […]
It’s November! For most people it means getting out the Christmas decorations, planning road trips, and stuffing turkeys. For me it means I have to write. A LOT! November is the National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. It’s a crazy challenge to write a 50,000 word (or longer) novel in 30 days. Crazy, I know. […]
Have you ever felt like you couldn’t pray or help someone out spiritually because you’re not living as spiritually as you think you should? I recently overheard a conversation where one person confessed that he doesn’t pray anymore because He isn’t as close to God as he used to be. He feels that God isn’t […]
A few months ago, I started something new in my family: budgeting. I know, the dreaded “B” word, one that I tried for so long to avoid. Assigning every dollar a job and keeping track of every dollar spent has been great in helping us not overspend. With there being so much benefit to this, I […]

Over the past several months God has put a lot of messages on my heart to write about and share on ETM. But sadly, I have been too busy or distracted to write them. I mean, it’s not really a big deal, right? All I was putting off was writing on a simple website – a […]
This morning while reading the Bible I came across the story of Naaman, a commander of an army who also had leprosy. He does what any of us would probably do when facing such a severe disease, he turned to God. But Elisha sent a messenger out to him with this message: “Go and wash […]
Last night at church we had a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) demonstration followed by some teaching. It was a great time. I got some great notes from the speakers. The first speaker was Carlos Machado who is friends with Chuck Norris, the demi-god that is said to start fire by rubbing ice cubes together, can […]
The previous article in this series on Neglecting our Mission Field talked about how we are ignoring our mission field and focusing on entertaining ourselves and living a life of comfort due to the fact that we do not have an understanding of how much God loves us and we do not love Him as […]
In the past few articles I talked about how we have neglected our primary mission field because we have turned our mission field into a comfortable home that we do not want to risk loosing or downgrading. And I mentioned that instead of spending all of our time on the mission we distract ourselves with games, movies, […]
