  • Bible contradicts history…

    I often criticize other books of scripture for not agreeing with historical or archaeological data. It hit me as somewhat of a surprise today as I was studying supposed natural disasters on prehistoric earth. As one might think, I began researching the flood, which supposedly took place anywhere from 4000-4600 years ago.The problem I found…

  • Re: I just need to escape reality

    To: Guy who has life figured out From: I just want to be happy Subject: I just need to escape reality ____________________________________________________________________ Guy who has life figured out, I have been trying and trying to be the good person who legitimately searches for truth and who deals with his problems like a man should. However,…

  • Drinking is a sin… At least, in America…

    There is no scriptural reference that explicitly states that drinking is wrong. In fact, in the recent research that I have done, it seems as though American Christianity was the first branch of Christianity that has referred to the act of drinking as a sin, and it has done so outrightly. I found this interesting.…

  • Check out my new book!

    Wednesday, I received the first copy of my new book, It’s An Every Day Thing. The book is all about discipleship. Here is the introduction:             Twenty-first century American Christianity is one of the most individualistic entities on the face of the planet.

  • 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…

  • Re: My Faith Is Dying

    From: Losing Hope Subject: My Faith Is Dying _________________________ Dear Dedicated Christian, I was once as earnest and as vicarious in my faith as you seem to be now. I would have the close encounters with the presence I thought to be God and I would even experience the sensation of God’s words being spoken…

  • Do we really need to serve God?

               What exactly does it mean for us to willingly serve God? I feel as though we have reduced serving God simply to resisting the power of sin in our lives. Though this is part of our service, our service is so much more. I remember growing up with pictures of the armor of God…

  • Living Christ-Centered

    Please open your copy of God’s word and turn to Luke chapter 7, verses 36-50. Allow me to ask two simple questions. The first: when we attend a church service with our brothers and sisters in Christ, do we expect God to touch our lives? The second: when we are living out our lives on…

  • 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,…
