This Sunday, December 3, marks the beginning of our Advent Season at FBC Pompano. Our minds then naturally return to the Worship of Christ (Christ mas). With this in mind, I want to share with you a story that comes from SorenKierkegaard, the noted Danish theologian of another century, whom I mentioned this past Sunday. He wrote of—This prince was running an errand for his father one day in the lo...  Read More

I will remember him as the one who said, “Anyone who has brains gets the blues.” I think he is righ...  Read More

Let’s reflect on what we learned this past Sunday one more time (as we so often do in this writing).
