Christians need to declutter, not be hoarders, and stop getting value from materialism. If Jesus is our "All," what's this other stuff I surround myself with?
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder but have you ever thought it might actually be a spiritual disorder too? Do you or someone you know what a problem with it?
When I was in India I learned many great lessons about life. The biggest one I learned was about the second coming of Christ and why it is taking so long!
The Bible declares us all equals in Christ. Yet racism is more than skin deep, it is embedded in worldview, educational systems, cultures, and assumptions.
God can use anyone, regardless of your background, past sin, or reputation. God used a literal Harlot to save Israel, put David on the throne, and to be a key inclusion it the genealogy of Jesus!
#JesusFirst It is a movement. Pass it along. He is really coming, with a rod of iron, and He will rule all the nations. It is time to get the message out. Jesus is King.
What If I Told You About Faith in Politics is a collection of tweets I made about the intersection of Faith and Politics and how people expect pastors of hold certain views then may and may not hold.
What is up with swearing and cussing? Are Christian's "allowed" to do that? What if I slip? Is it ok when I get really mad? Certainly, it is ok in the car right? What does the Bible say about this?
Understand your local pastor is a scholar in his own right and is better qualified to assist you then some "image" or "brand" Pastor you only connect with on TV.
Finders Keepers is author Sarah Monzon’s second novel and goes hand and hand with her companion novella 12 Days of Snowmen. Both are part of a larger, ongoing family saga.
We all make promises we can't keep. What about all those promises we keep making to God? And what about the promises God makes to us? Legalism is a funny thing, in that we always want us to go home to it. It is time for a new promise.
Half- naked, she was dragged from her room, from her darkness, into the light; cast at the feet of Jesus. Broken, shamed, dirty, guilty, without dignity nor humility she appeared, caught in her sins…before the very Son of God... Read what happens next!
When a church gets into a spiritual recession, as all churches sometimes do, and the church members start cutting back on her spiritual investment, the economy of saving souls and making dynamic disciples for Jesus starts to head towards a massive depression. What can We do? Read on...
“War, huh, good god
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing"
I can’t blame people for not wanting to think about bombs when they can escape to barbecues and beaches but is there more to consider?
Scars. Life wounds scabbing over. Everyone has them. We go to church to simply play, “cover-up Christianity.” You see the point is scars are simply proof God is healing us, and that what once was a wound is in the act of being restored.
Some days, I want to go on dreaming. Some days, I don’t want to accept the status quo. Some days, I want to believe there really is more. And some days, are actually, as it turns out, usually my best days; the days I am more alive, better able to function, and filled with more complete grace for others around me.
Paul warns us, as well, that not all that glitters is from Heaven. He warns that as time goes on false teachers will arise and lead people astray in the same way that Satan has.
UNBROKEN tells the story of Olympic athlete Louis “Louie” Zamperini and his very broken self-image and self-worth as a first-generation Italian immigrant in America. Louie is depicted in the movie as a “type of Christ” like figure.
Sorry ladies, but this one is for the dudes, feel free to eavesdrop and you will certainly learn our secrets but shhh… don’t let us know you are here or mention that you ever overheard this most private conversation. It may be stereotypical to say, but there is still truth in it, men like to fix things... let get it done!
Today Robin, my old childhood friend, I stand on my desk saying, “Captain my Captain; lesson learned, message received.” And I’ll add to that, let us all keep looking to the Ultimate Captain of all Captains in our times of depression and addictions for He (Jesus) has come to give us life more abundantly.
What I really want to say is preaching the Word, living the Word, giving the Word, modeling the Word, is not just the job of Pastors it is the job of all who read these words. God is calling you to set the captives free.
Noah opened to great box office success but for many Christian’s it is was no success they could support. To say it is not Biblical is an understatement. It is full of all kinds of folklore, myths, and eclectic tales of the deluge.
We don’t have to approve of sin, in order to love sinners. You don’t have to be a second “Holy Spirit” for it is who He convicts the world of sin, not you!
There is nothing more fun in this world than Joey with a turkey on his head! Which oddly enough got me thinking about my all-time favorite TV holiday moments and what they can teach us today about good holiday cheer! So here they are…
It is interesting to me that the word holiday comes from the linguistic heritage of “Holy Day.” Originally all western “holidays,” were early church holy days. As Western Civilization evolved and multiple stages of development took place this concept for better or worse got lost among us.
French philosopher, mathematician, and physicist Blaise Pascal presented to the world philosophical simplistic mathematical bases for the acting on the belief of God. His reason goes like this...
All loss of life is a loss. Humans have what is called intrinsic value. Their value comes from being human not from their deeds. The mere fact that you share humanity means you have value that can’t be taken away or increased by bad or good actions.
When we examine all the relevant historical evidence, we will discover Darwin’s Theory was not just a product of empirical observation, but rather a product of the times he lived in.
