My ministry is marked with discipleship, the desire to develop leaders, and the excitement of passing off ministry to those leaders.  That’s why at Foothills Church we pride ourselves on developing mature disciples of Christ. In our student ministry, I have a kid named Jake.  Jake is a fellow warrior for Christ.  He hangs out [...]

Follow Greg on Twitter for more: @gregrgibson A friend sent me an article that was posted on CNN’s Religion Blog about, yet again, the rise in “Christians” having premarital sex. Surprise! Surprise! The author raises the question about the seemingly common late 20-something or 30-something Christian who is single and EXPECTED to stay pure. The [...]

The women cook, clean, and take care of the babies.  Meanwhile, the men work, sweat, and drink beer.  Right?  Well, not anymore.  Or is it? This view of gender identity has plagued our culture for some time now.  What’s more, the aforementioned view of gender roles is usually looked down upon by the liberal left. [...]

I read a story the other day about a man who didn’t have a job, who didn’t provide for his family, and who didn’t cherish and serve his wife.  This man viewed women as objects and he probably was addicted to pornography.  He lied.  He cheated.  He was a hypocrite.  While at home, he sat [...]

Are single pastors at a disadvantage when it comes to practical matters of ministry? Some interpreters answer each of these questions in the affirmative. Others reject this conclusion as unbiblical.

Jobs are hard to come by these days. It’s a tough market out there. Our struggling economy has pushed the unemployment rate well into the double digits. In Grass Valley, CA where I live, numerous businesses aren’t even handing out applications. One drug store reported holding 1,000 existing ones! It’s understandable to see why many [...]

I’d been working out of town for five weeks when I returned home last weekend. My car was caked with mud from driving over a snowy Lake Tahoe pass slushed with sand. My left turn signal had somehow gone out. The windshield wiper fluid was long gone. Without a word, my dad commandeered my Taurus. [...]

Chivalry is a word that has lost its luster lately.  For the sake of definition, it means courteous behavior or qualities expected of a leader toward the weak.  The placement of this word is most often found within the context of knights who ride nobly into battle, protecting the innocent, and putting their lives in [...]

You can read Part 1 HERE. There is a fine line that we must walk when concerning ourselves with political correctness today. The ‘lets all just get along’ culture finds its foundation in tolerance and co-exist bumper stickers (speaking of bumper stickers, check out our Veritas Adopt bumper stickers HERE). This tolerance movement is finding [...]

Yes.  25 year old boys who can shave.  You read it right.  They are taking over the world.  Ah man, we need another world. What is the difference between a 16 year old that lives at home with his parents, plays Xbox 360 all day, doesn’t have a job, dates around without any form of [...]
