.Jesus is Lord?.

Most professing Christians would say that Jesus is Lord.  They believe in their heart that God raised him from the dead.  In fact some of them could tell you that the verse that comes from is Romans 10.
My question is do most professing Christians actually live that way?
If I had to gander a guess, I [...]

.theo.

So the other night my wife Natalie and I were in bed. Talking about life and somehow we stumbled across the topic of -logy, as in Biology.
Me: -logy is the study of, so Biology is the study of life
Natalie: oh that makes sense
Me: So theology is the study of God
Natalie: (being serious) so [...]

.broken plates.

Take this pain away from me.
Have those words ever been uttered from your mouth? They have been uttered from my mouth. Sometimes I have felt like I didn’t have enough faith or that I wasn’t good enough for God to fix the problem. Have you ever felt like this?
In these times it [...]

.the most ugly beautiful thing.

So yesterday at work I had a lot of time to think so here comes a post from that thinking.
The cross is the ugliest thing ever known to man. It was one of if not the most torturous killing devices ever known to man. It is something that the Roman empire perfected over [...]

.the vote.

Now while we will change the world ultimately by the way that we are the hands and voice of Jesus.  While we will change the hearts of people by living out the ways of Jesus and proclaiming the gospel, there still is a responsibility to vote in a way that is Christian.   Do I think [...]

.change the world.

.dream on.

I know I am taking this out of context however I believe that what I am going to say is supported by other scripture, however I like how this verse says it.

5 Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that [...]

.gospel.

What does the word “gospel” mean to you?
Is it fire insurance?
Is it a way of life?
I believe that a lot of the reason why the state of the church is because of what we have reduced the gospel to.  “You are going to hell, believe in Jesus and go to heaven.”
That is it.
There has been [...]

.starbucks wisdom.

Here is a quote that I read on a Starbucks cup tonight.  There is so much truth and wisdom for Christians
“You can’t lead the people, if you don’t love the people. You can’t save the people, if you don’t serve the people.”- Cornel West (a professor from Princeton)

.sola scriptura.

.by Scripture alone.
This is an idea that has been under attack. Some have out right attacked others have subtlety attacked it. There has been this idea that the Bible is no longer the final authority for understanding Jesus and following Him. There has been this idea in many churches that the Church [...]
