  • Response to “Jesus is Loving Barabbas – Judah Smith Sermon Jam”

    Response to “Jesus is Loving Barabbas – Judah Smith Sermon Jam”

    I keep seeing this video and I guess with this being Holy Week, videos like this one will be popular. I wasn’t sure why at first, but this video just doesn’t sit well with me. I’m sure Judah Smith (the lead pastor of the City Church network in WA) is a good guy, but this…

  • An Open Letter To Muslim and Christian Parents

    An Open Letter To Muslim and Christian Parents

    Today as I was writing a link came across my Twitter feed and, though I would not usually click on a link like this one, I did. For some reason I clicked it and read the article. The link took me on a journey through the land of muslimmatters.org to an article that described Allah…

  • The Unbelieving Believer

    The Unbelieving Believer

    This morning I wept silently. It must be a little of what Jesus felt as He wept for the unbelief of the nations. My heart is sad for the world because I know that all we need is Christ, but Christ is the only thing we do not invest in. What does the way we…

  • Selfish Christians?

    Selfishness, needless to say, has become an integral part of our culture. It is the American way, but it is not a good thing and I want to ask the question: why is our constant battle against selfishness so important? Now the people began complaining openly before the Lord about hardship. When the Lord heard,…

  • Is American independence a thing of the past?

    When any holiday comes around, I try to reflect on the reason we celebrate that holiday. On July 2nd, 1776, representatives from the 13 colonies voted to declare their independence and two days later, on July 4th, the Declaration of Independence was signed. It is on this day that the 13 colonies formally cut their…

  • Pride (something deeper than sexuality)

                Over the last forty-eight hours I have seen more pride than I can manage. I am not speaking of the LGBT community or the recent Supreme Court decision to legalize same-sex marriage in all 50 states. Chances are, most of those reading this know exactly where I stand on the moral issue of sexuality.…

  • Does Religious Dogma Have a Place Among God’s People?

                I remember the very first cell phone I ever had: It was bulky, the screen was the size of a quarter and all I could do with it was talk and text. There was a time before that when cell phones did not exist and even when house-phones hadn’t been thought of. The progress…

  • The Pilgrim’s Relevancy: Book VI (homosexuality)

    In the town that was now behind them, Christian remembered encountering certain infatuations, specifically in the entertainment. These infatuations led many further from the chasm and further away from the King. Christian and his companion stepped into the City of Love, where many committed wholly to their infatuations and were unashamed. _______________________ Book I  /…

  • Is Church Important for Youth?

    Is Church Important for Youth?

    This question is somewhat ironic. It presents itself with the idea that our youth today are somehow viewed as a separate group of people in God’s eyes. If, however, people are created by God with equal worth, then the answer is: Church[1] is just as important for youth as it is for young adults as…

  • Is Your Church Healthy?

                What is a healthy church? Is a healthy church one that is always growing? Is it one that never experiences deficit or one that has a certain number of members? Does a healthy church support missions? Is it part of an association or of a certain denomination? Does it…
