About
It's the author himself!
I’m your regular sort of guy – only I’m a Pastor (of almost 20 years), a father (of 5) and a husband (since 1989)! I write mainly out of a desire to encourage those who are followers of Christ to be serious about that task. I believe the Bible IS God’s word, that in it God has said what He means, and that our job (in part) is to put it to practice in our lives.
That sometimes looks pretty “normal” but much of the time it may look weird to those looking on – but all the time it should look like Jesus! There are links on the blog for sermons (the ones I preach most Sundays) so you can hear me saying – instead of writing – what I think about scriptural stuff… if you have a hankering! Thanks for checking out my blog!

Hello Pastor Craig, (right?)
I’m still exploring my new membership at thepfjournal. I have read and enjoyed your articles and even commented on one of them. I would like to receive some counsel on feeling “slighted” in the church (all believers who want to do more for God, but feel put off). I can dig a bit deeper but have not seen any of your articles on this subject, yet.
Please let me know?
God bless you and thank you, Craig.

Hi Bob… it’s Carey – but don’t worry about it, I’ve been called many things and generally answer to any of them!
Feel free to shoot me some specifics on your question… I would be happy to anonymously (or not, up to you) include them in a Q&A post, or just interact privately, whichever you prefer. Some things I’d like to know when you give me the low-down on your question…
1. What kind of “slight” from the church are you talking about specifically?
2. What kind of church(es) are you talking about (type of church leadership structure, denomination, theological bent)?
3. What has been “done” so far to address the problem (conversations? personal study? etc.)
Thanks, I look forward to the interaction!
Carey

Carey – LOVE your mission here . . . encouraging followers of Christ to be serious about that . . . the Bible IS the word of God . . . in it he says what he means and we are to put it into practice. And yes – I’ll be subscribing to your blog also. :)
Thanks Lisa… as my mother would say, it sounds like we have a “mutual admiration society” going here! Thanks for the encouragement. Interesting that my profile settings took you to this blog, it’s really a secondary one. My main work goes on over at http://www.ChristianHomeAndFamily.com – but I appreciate feedback on either site. Blessings my sister!
