University Graduation Day: A Letter to My Daughter

May 18, 2020 by Tony Miano 2 Comments

Dear Amanda, It's been a couple of days since your graduation from the University of Iowa. I doubt this letter contains anything new. While we may not always agree (what father and daughter do?), you and I talk a lot. Sometimes we both listen well. Other times we don't. Relationships, like ministry, are always easier when sinful people aren't involved, but there's no way … [Read more...]

Is Ministry Your Mistress?

April 20, 2016 by Tony Miano 1 Comment

In the following video, I ask and answer the question: "Is ministry your mistress?" Sadly some men engaged in full-time Christian ministry have lost sight of the fact that their wife and children (if they are married with a family) is their first ministry. This video will be despised by some men who fashion themselves as full-time open-air preachers. The reason: their … [Read more...]

Abortion: Yes Mom, It’s Murder

April 8, 2016 by Tony Miano 10 Comments

Introduction Abortion is not a victimless crime and there are not multiple victims in an abortion. There is only one victim in an abortion. And that is the unborn child whose life is summarily and brutally brought to an end in his or her mother's womb. Abortion is murder. April 1st, 2016, was a busy day for the pro-life movement. I wish the busyness was the result of April … [Read more...]

‘Tis the Season to…..Covet

November 28, 2015 by Tony Miano Leave a Comment

'Tis the season to.....covet. One emotion, one behavior that the holiday season brings out in most people, including Christians, is covetousness. Preface Many people do not understand the way I write or why I write. Often times, my writing is a reflection of what God is teaching me. My writing is often the fruit of the correction and sanctification taking place in my life. … [Read more...]

Suicide Behind the Badge: Wait! There’s Hope!

December 9, 2014 by Tony Miano Leave a Comment

No one remembers them with a black band across the badge--the symbol of respect and remembrance for an officer killed in the line-of-duty. Many officers won't attend their funerals, even their close friends, because it's just too hard. Brethren officers are too angry, too hurt, too afraid that it might one-day be them. The brother or sister officer in the casket didn't die … [Read more...]

She is Unforgettable

October 20, 2014 by Tony Miano 1 Comment

It was September 1982. It was the first day of college. I was attending a local community college, which was walking distance from my home. My first class of my first day was choir. My high school sports career came to an abrupt end during my sophomore year. The rest of the guys in school didn't get the memo that they were supposed to stop growing their freshman year. Having … [Read more...]

Walking Her Down the Aisle

October 17, 2014 by Tony Miano Leave a Comment

In 22 hours, I will walk my daughter, Marrisa Lynn, down the aisle. I will then lift her veil, say something to her (I don't know what), kiss her on the cheek, and then place her hand into the hand of one Brian David Thompson--the man who will be her husband and my son-in-law. This morning, we gathered at the church. My sister Cheryl and my niece Allison, along with Mahria, … [Read more...]

Evidence is very important in a courtroom, and I try never to rely on evidence when engaging in evangelistic apologetics. Bike Patrol In the Summer of 1998, I was assigned to the Career Offender … Continue Reading
