We’re all familiar with this rebuking of Peter by Jesus. Christ was telling the disciples about his death, and Peter jumps in and starts declaring such a thing would never happen (Matt 16:22). To which Christ replied, “Get behind Me, Satan.” Today, we say the same thing if we’re feeling attacked or tempted by the [...]

Merry Christmas to all! What a wonderful day… so blessed to have spent it with my wife and son. I wanted to reflect on the real meaning of why we celebrate Christmas, and what it has meant to Brittney and me. First, the story of Christmas is more than that of a virgin birth, a [...]

So, our Christmas tree is dying. We’ve been in denial the past few days, trying to ignore the increasingly growing amount of needles on the floor, the slight dull in the color, and the aroma that’s typical of a pine drying out. How did this happen you may ask? Well, I didn’t realize how much [...]

In all the spreadsheets I make on a weekly basis, at least 3 out of 4 contain a drop down box. It also happens to be one of the most asked questions I get as far as tricks people want to know about Excel. If you’ve never seen one before, the drop down box allows [...]

One of my favorite sermons is by a man named Paris Reidhead, given over 30 years ago. Its title: Ten Shekles and a Shirt. If you’ve ever listened to the Revival Hymn, it’s actually the keynote message halfway through the track. The truth of the Gospel is constantly bombarded by false ideas that have been [...]

Since the name of my blog is Excel Daddy, it seems only fitting that I devote some time to discuss one of my passions – Excel. It’s such an amazing tool that allows you to accomplish an immense number of tasks, if employed correctly. I thought I would take Friday and make it Formula Friday [...]

Brittney and I have begun a new tradition for the holidays – celebrating Christ’s birth with an Advent wreath*. Advent means coming, and the whole purpose is to prepare for Christ’s coming as a babe in the manager, and also for his triumphant return again. There are four candles that we light in progression as we prepare [...]

Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30, ESV) Paul and co were thrown into prison for sharing the message of Christ in Philippi. However, that night while worshiping God, they were miraculously released from the chains and cells, to the utmost horror of the jailer. It was then he asked the question above [...]

One of the ways we missions to unreached people groups is through Gospel for Asia. Founded by KP Yohannan, GFA trains and equips indigenous pastors to take the gospel to their own. This is one of the most effective and efficient methods of getting the message of Christ’s love to those who need it most. For $30 [...]
