Thank you for visiting my website and learning more about my writing. I’m honored you have taken an interest.

I’ve always been passionate about putting pen to paper through a wide array of mediums which include journalism, copywriting, music, film, novels and non-fiction books.

The Lord has blessed me with much pain and many victories in my life which have driven me to understand and express human nature and our implementation of God’s purpose and plan.

I appreciate you being part of the journey.

• Is Your Church Healthy? January 21, 2012 Michael K. Reynolds

  Is your church healthy? If it disappeared tomorrow would your community notice? More importantly, if the doors and windows were boarded up, would God care? Harsh questions. But they're ones we should be asking often of our churches and ourselves...

• Blue Wire. Red Wire. January 17, 2012 Michael K. Reynolds

  In a world filled with walking, breathing, leaking barrels of gunpowder, one stray spark can cause a whole lot of damage. Relationships can be destroyed. Spirits can be crushed. Hope can fade away. And time is running short. We live in a stre...

• 3 New Years Resolutions Designed for a Year of Blessing December 26, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  I love New Years. Not because of the wild celebrations, spectacular fireworks or the banging of pots and pans. As one who doesn't drink alcohol and who prefers not to be around those who drink too much, our family usually skips out on the parties. ...

• The Night The Lights Went Out On Christmas December 10, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  Is this the year the lights finally go out on Christmas? One of the most revered traditions of the Christmas holidays is the candlelight service. Families dressed in their finest clothes gather together in carpools and caravans and stream into churc...

• Is God Kicking Over Your Sand Castles? November 23, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  "Don't ever question my motives!" There you are. Hands on your hips. Finger pointing out. Perhaps, a thin stream of saliva dripping from your lip for added effect. Have you ever been there? Yeah? Me, too. In less dramatic fashion, typicall...

• The Hidden Sin Behind Candy Corn October 24, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  I'm a thief. This became clear to me as a fifth grader many years ago. I loved candy corns. I would eat them one at a time, starting by biting off the white tip, then the orange center and finally chasing it down with the yellow base. I was convince...

• I Threw Away My Wedding Ring Today October 16, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  I threw away my wedding ring today. Looking at my ring finger, there was an indentation where it once resided. A band of skin colored red. Immediately, I experienced a sense of deep loss. I felt the pain of abandonment. It was nearly 15 years to ...

• The Elephant in Your Room October 8, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  Are you going to do something about this? You know. The pachyderm. The big fella. He's really holding you back and we love you too much to not get in your face about it. It's the spinach between your teeth, the toilet paper hanging off the ba...

• Prayers of Yesterday October 4, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  Let's face it. Life can be grueling. Monday mornings. Stock crashes. Unpaid bills. Getting old. Mirrors which speak cruelly. Broken friendships and shattered relationships. A world spinning out of control. When these blues come, and they sur...

• Who Cares About Billy Graham Anyway? September 17, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  Recently, I reveled at one of the mountaintop privileges of being a Christian. I was blessed to walk a young man through the sinner's prayer. For the first time in his twenty-something life he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. What a sp...

• Ashamed of the Gospel September 9, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  If we believe Jesus is the King of Kings then why do we treat Him like the Thief of Galilee? Okay. Maybe not you. But the rest of us weak-kneed Christians are willing to admit we're afraid... He'll rob us of our jobs Heaven forbid we mention His...

• Would Jesus Wear Relaxed Fit Jeans? August 30, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  Without a doubt, the introduction of "Relaxed Fit Jeans" was nothing short of marketing brilliance. A simple concept, but one which might have saved the denim industry. If there was such a thing as truth in advertising these baggie trousers would ha...

• When Faith Isn't Working August 25, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  Have you ever been tempted to ask God for a refund? Maybe not often. Perhaps only once for a fleeting moment. But most, if not all of us, have those times when our Christian Walk goes through some scary neighborhoods. Lonely parks. Some dark places....

• One Word Standing In The Way Of Your Unbridled Joy August 18, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  Someone shared a word with me a few years ago which haunted me. Convicted me. Changed my life. It's a word with a meaning buried deep beneath its political trappings. Because it's a word which equally afflicts the rich and the poor. It's a virus wh...

• God's Answer To Financial Stress July 20, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  Ever worry about money? Okay, let's try again. As an adult, ever NOT worry about money? The news, our mailbox, our spouses, our checkbooks, our ATM, the Internet, our e-mail: Life is constantly bombarding us with reminders of our financial frailty. ...

• Why would ANYONE want to go to church? July 3, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  I completely understand. It's Sunday morning. You're awakened by beams of light spilling through your blinds. Rising up, you tie on your bathrobe, walk out the front door to fetch your newspaper when you see the most remarkable sight across the stre...

• Monkey With A Bowtie June 28, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  Like most writers, many of my favorite people are characters. Not just the fictional types we dream up and weave into our novels, but the living, breathing, fascinating people that make our daily grind more colorful and exciting. [caption id="att...

• The Bear That Ate Your Marriage June 11, 2011 Michael K. Reynolds

  For those of us who are married, our most important ministry is also the closest to home. We can feed the poor like Mother Theresa, preach like Billy Graham and write more Christian chart toppers than Steven Curtis Chapman, but if we haven't bee...
