About

Short version: I am a pastor and preacher at Providence OPC.  I am an author. And I am currently writing a book about the LGBTQ movement in conservative churches.

Long version:

This website is the development of over ten years of writing in cyberspace. Beginning with an old blog platform, I graduated to writing about apologetics, news and opinion from a Christian perspective at Examiner.com…until they laid me off after writing one too maNews_Doug_Phillips_top search news_2013ny articles on gay marriage around the time of the infamous SCOTUS ruling (they morphed into Axios).

Before losing my writing gig there, Examiner.com considered me a reliable news-source and Google and Bing had accepted my articles into their news-search engines. My first search-engine break was the fall of Doug Phillips; my articles garnered front page news-search (see picture) Many times my articles were featured on the front page of Examiner.com.

Having written well over 300 articles (all deleted by Examiner.com), I am slowly republishing them at this site even as I continue to write about things of Christian interest from a distinctly theological perspective.

I am the pastor of Providence Orthodox Presbyterian Church. And, naturally, what I write does not necessarily represent the views of my church, my Presbytery or my denomination and are not intended to be contrary to our received confessions.

My sermons are here.
