Is it ok not to know.

Now that we are settled back in the metropolis of Moncks Corner I see a lot of old friends and folk from the church I served in for 6 years in this town. I love seeing everyone but I dread the inevitable question. It is not a bad question, it is a benign question thatContinue reading “Is it ok not to know.”

Christians Christmas Insecurities.

Tell me if you have heard this before? “They are putting stuff out for Christmas earlier every year!” “The commercialization of Christmas is stealing the true meaning of Christmas!” “Satan is trying to distract us from the meaning of Christmas!” Can I just ask everyone to relax? Christians can be the most insecure human beingsContinue reading “Christians Christmas Insecurities.”

Born Again

John 3:3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” The term Born Again is no longer en vogue (actually en vogue is no longer en vogue). However, when I first entered the ministry in the Baptist faith Born Again was common vernacular. TheContinue reading “Born Again”

A few answers about the move

A lot of people have had questions about our decision to move back to the Charleston area. Quite honestly I don’t have a lot of answers. On the surface what we are doing looks reckless. However we are following 2 Cor 5:7 and walking by Faith and not by Sight. Audra and I have aContinue reading “A few answers about the move”

The little things

There is a great story in the bible where Jesus was at a wedding. Actually his mother was at the wedding and it kinda seems like Jesus and his buddies crashed the party (man I love Jesus). Anyway, at this particular wedding Mary came to Jesus and informed him that the guest was running outContinue reading “The little things”

Operation R2C

Operation R2C stands for Rheaumes to Charleston. In 1996 I transfered from Columbus State University to Charleston Southern University to study youth ministry. I didn’t know much about Charleston back then except they started the civil war…well that’s what my History professor told me. I did poorly at school but I ended up leading aContinue reading “Operation R2C”

An apology

I got personal toward Mark Driscoll in my last blog which is unfortunate. In my passion and disdain for the extremes I reacted extremely. I don’t agree with everything Mark teaches theologically. I definitely don’t agree with his attitude but calling names only pours gasoline to the fire instead of water. To THAT end IContinue reading “An apology”

New Adventure

Well here we go again. After much prayer and deliberation Audra and I agree whole heartedly that it is time to get back into full time ministry. It has been about a year sabbatical for us and I will blog later about what working in the secular world has taught me but the conclusion remains…IContinue reading “New Adventure”

An amazing woman

My wife’s birthday is tomorrow and it would not be polite to say how old she is but she gets better with age. Audra is truly my best friend. She is the most amazingly precious intelligent woman with the quirkiest sense of humor I have ever known. We have known each other for years yetContinue reading “An amazing woman”
