  • 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…

  • Is Morality Important Anyway? (Romans 8:12-17)

                Is morality important for the Christian? Is it important for humanity in general? Across the planet, people measure morality by different standards and accept different actions as morally right or wrong. For instance, I have spoken to Californians and New Yorkers who see the ownership of firearms as morally questionable…

  • 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…

  • I don’t need to go to church to love Jesus!

    “I don’t need to go to church to love Jesus!” This is the consensus reached by many people that I get to talk with on a regular basis. Church is boring. Church is for women. We don’t really feel the Holy Spirit moving in Church. I don’t agree with the church theologically. We don’t like…

  • We can be perfect?

    Is it possible for any human being to be perfect, other than Jesus Christ? I remember, when I was younger, pretending to fight with my younger brother. I chased him into his room, and started punching the wood frame on his bed as he yelled each time my hand hit the hard surface. After a…

  • My Obsession

    Let me tell you just a little bit about my obsession. When I was fifteen, I gave my life to Jesus Christ because He gave His life so that I could be restored to a good and holy God. When I was nineteen, I experienced God in a way that I couldn’t even begin to…

  • Sexuality and Lust

    For although they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and…

  • Rebellion: Chapter 1

    Something Real “Zeph! Wake up! We are going to be late!” Zephaniah Isaac Payton strained to open his eyes and looked toward his half-open bedroom door just in time to see his mother, Kassy Payton, turn and walk away. He had not been to church with his parents since the summer of 2010. In fact,…

  • Community?

    Imagine, for a moment, a brick wall. This wall can be built by placing each brick in the perfect position, according to where and how other bricks are placed, using mortar to hold them together. This wall can be used to illustrate the community of God’s church. Each brick can represent one of God’s children…

  • Serpent’s Mist

    A young girl and her father were spending the cool afternoon together sailing a small boat off the coast of New York. Hearing something in the water, the young girl moved toward the edge of the boat, “Daddy, why is the water doing that?” Her father tied the rope he was holding to the side…
