Tough Questions Part 6 Pastor Jordan Mckenzie | September 7, 2026 What Good Is The Church? I heard about a church that nearly split apart — not over doctrine, not over money, not over some moral failure. Over a vacuum cleaner. One member bought it for the church, but decided only they were allowed to use it. They didn't want it broken or misused, so they started hiding it from everyone else. Other members found out and felt insulted. Nothing was done about it. Accusations flew. Finger-pointing ensued. The whole thing nearly tore the congregation apart. I also heard

Tough Questions Part 5 Pastor Dennis Miller | August 31, 2026 What Does God Think About War? I did something this week I probably shouldn't admit from a pulpit: I went down a rabbit hole of war statistics. Century by century. Sixteenth century, about a million and a half people killed in war. Seventeenth century, six million. Eighteenth, six and a half million. Nineteenth — the century of the Enlightenment, of universities multiplying, of nations learning each other's languages — forty million. Twentieth century, the bloodiest ever, somewhere around 180 million people killed in war. We are a quarter

Tough Questions Part 4 Pastor Dennis Miller | August 24, 2026 Is God Colorblind? A few weeks ago I found out my good friend Brent Watson is colorblind. I'd known the guy for years and had no idea.

His eyes work fine. They just process color differently than mine do. That conversation with Brent has been rattling around in my head

Tough Questions: Must I Leave My Brains At The Door? Pastor Dennis Miller | August 17, 2026 Must I Leave My Brain at the Church Door? Two Chairs I want to tell you about two chairs. Picture two ordinary highchairs sitting side by side. One has a piece of masking tape on it that says FAITH. The other says REASON. Here’s the message a lot of us have absorbed, whether anyone ever said it out loud: You get to pick one. Sit in the Faith chair and you can believe in Jesus—but don’t ask too many questions. Don’t wrestle.

Tough Questions: Is Infant Baptism Biblical? Pastor Dennis Miller | August 10, 2026 What meaning does your baptism have for you today? I've heard it said that whenever Martin Luther hit a moment of real stress — and the man had plenty — he'd reach up, touch his forehead, trace the sign of the cross, and say out loud, "I am baptized. My God is a jealous God, and He will not let go of what is His. I am baptized." I love that. What I find almost funny about it is that Luther had zero memory of his
