  • Hypocrisy and Jesus

    Hypocrisy and Jesus

    We are a people lost in our own hypocrisy. I often get to talk with people who claim to love Jesus about why they are not a member of a local church. Almost always, the answer is that the church is full of hypocrites. We might jokingly say, “There is always room for one more!”…

  • Did Jesus Actually Exist, Does It Matter?

    Did Jesus Actually Exist, Does It Matter?

    The question we are looking at today is this: Did Jesus actually physically exist on the earth? This question is a question that is not really considered by modern historians because evidence in favor of Jesus’ existence is so definitive. So, we will briefly look at the evidence, know that we are reasonable in our…

  • Christ’s Resurrection

    In Matthew’s Gospel, the resurrection is the resolution of the story and the final proof of Jesus’ messiahship and authority. Jesus was born “King of the Jews” according to Matthew. He performed many miracles, taught that He was the Messiah with the very authority of God. Jesus predicted His own death 3 times in Matthew’s…

  • When Wrong Feels So Right…

    One of the first things I dealt with as a serious Christian was the distraction of worship. There are two ways that we can try and worship God. One way is in Spirit and in truth and the other way is according to our own preferences which are outside of the Spirit’s leading. It’s not…

  • 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.…

  • Do you ever have trouble figuring out what God wants from you?

                This question is one that seems to haunt everyone I know who has a relationship with Christ. Of course, following Christ means that we do what He leads us to do. Sometimes, though, it is difficult to know exactly what God wants in any given situation or even concerning…

  • Are You Righteous?

              One of the misconceptions of the Christian faith throughout the years has been that it proposes some sort of works-based righteousness. That is the idea that each person must work for a good enough reputation before God before being approved for entrance into some sort of paradise or heaven. The Christian…

  • Here a Slave, There a Slave, Everywhere a Slave Slave…

    Slavery is contemporarily classified as a morbid evil that once permeated, and in many ways still persists in human civilization and this classification is true. It is true in the sense that African Americans should never have been treated as they once were. It is true in the sense that human trafficking is a vile…

  • Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men?

    Thus rang the voice of the Angels as they made proclamation to the lowly shepherds about the birth of our Messiah, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”[1] In this moment, Roman oppression of the Jewish people had grown to such a point that it would have been…

  • Should Christians get involved in drama?

    Everywhere we look, others are living out personal dramas that envelop them in cocoon of emotion. The drama in others’ lives seems so prevalent that, at times, it almost defines who they are and they seem to judge us according to how we interact with the events contained within that personal drama. No matter how…
