True Religion

“He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” –Micah 6:8 I was once on a mission trip in Las Vegas. During our mission trip we were sent into a mall to tell [...]

Prop 8 An Untypical Christian Response…

Earlier today a federal appeals court decided that Prop 8 was unconstitutional. This will surely bring up the debate about gay marriage. Frankly I am sick of this. I have two quick letters and a suggestion. Read all of the post… But before I do, 40 million dollars were raised for “Yes on Prop 8″ [...]

Amazing Poetry…David Bowden

Q and A Time….Send me more questions…

I had these questions about faith come to me recently… 1″You think that God cares about the world’s suffering (i.e. Japan, Iraq/Afghanistan) and yet He still cares about you…your career, place of residence, life. Why do you feel that you are important enough for him to care about you the same way he cares about the [...]

I am not related to Jim Elliot…(I wish I was) and why Jesus probably doesn’t want you in yet another Bible Study

Hear me out…. I just got done reading the story of Jim Elliot, I found these two great quotes while reading his biography called “Shadow of the Almighty.” Those whimpering Stateside young people will wake up on the Day of Judgment condemned to worse fates than these demon-fearing Indians, because, having a Bible, they were [...]

Pray for His grace, but celebrate His justice? Osama Bin Laden’s death…

“Darkness cannot drive our darkness only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Last night as most of the United States celebrated the death of Osama Bin Laden, I couldn’t help but get a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. As [...]

Preparing for the Resurrection…

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” -Isaiah 53:5   Every year around Christmas time we as Christians see the “war” on Christmas, the secularization of Christmas and we want to bring it [...]

Goodbye freedom….we had a good run at it….

This Saturday as I was working on my house when the movie The Siege came on the TV,  (We don’t have cable, so there isn’t much options) the movie was really good, it was made in ’98 about a terrorist organization in NYC with 3 or 4 different “cells” that were causing havoc on the whole city. (Spoiler Alert) [...]

If I have not love…

There is something you all should know about me. I read my Bible cover to cover. I do take time to stop and rest in a book (Luke it seems now) but I am almost always reading the Story of God, front to back…Oddly enough my Dad does this to, although I didn’t learn it [...]
