This blog post marks my 1000'th one on Faith, Family, and Freedom.  

Curious to see what were my most-viewed articles from the past 1000 posts, I compiled a list.  Some of the top twenty surprised me.

So here they are from #20 to #1 . . .

#8 - Fervent, Righteous Praying for America

This article challenges believers to fast and pray for the United States.

#7 - Should a Christian Vote for a Mormon? 

In 2016 Christians debate whether or not they can vote for Donald Trump.  But in 2012, it was whether or not they could vote for the Mormon Mitt Romney.  Here was my contribution to the discussion.

One of my most well-received sermon series through the years is one on the differences between our preferences, convictions, and absolute truth.

#5 - Aren't They Beautiful?

I love this picture of my beautiful girls. 

#4 - Why Honor My Pastor?

I believe that pastors probably have the most difficult job in America.  Many churches recognize October as Pastor Appreciation Month.  I wrote this article hoping to challenge Christians and churches to encourage and affirm their pastors.  It pleased me that the article has been viewed many times.

Rossie was a man in a church we served.  His death surprised many people, and I wrote this short tribute in his memory.
