There was a question that was asked in one of the Facebook group’s I’m in, that I found quite important. The person in the group had this question: As I looked at some of the comments, which some were spot on, it seemed some thought that the question was not about how do you say […]

Why Change Your Thinking
I live in Oklahoma just right outside of Tulsa. When I think of how long it takes for me to get to church or to work or into Tulsa, I always have this set amount of minutes. That’s because I’ve done it so much I know how long it takes, with or without traffic. I […]
Stay Focused
When I was a kid, I would play volleyball with my neighbor’s grandkids. My neighbor was an elderly woman and every now and then her grandkids would come over and we would play volleyball across the fence. The fence that separated our yards was the kind with the jagged spikes on the top. I’m not […]
Why George Clooney Won’t Get His Prayer Answered
Back in September, actor George Clooney published a short “prayer” in The Daily Beast. The prayer reads as follows: I pray that we can find more that unites us than divides us. I pray that our nation’s leaders want to do the same. I pray that young children like Tamir Rice can feel safe in […]
Life & Death Are In The Power Of The Song
What you confessed is what you possess. It may sound like a catchy tune, and it is. But it’s also a Biblical truth. The Bible says that life and death are in the power of the tongue as those that love it will eat of it. The Bible also says, “Not what goes into the […]
Feed Your Spirit
The Bible tells us that bad company corrupts good character (1 Corinthians 15:33). There’s an old saying that says, “if you lay down with dogs you will get fleas.” There’s another one that goes “garbage in garbage out.” These line up with the Bible when it says it is not what goes into the mouth […]
Have You Stopped Praying?
Well, the election is over and the prayers of the saints have seen Donald Trump elected as the next President. I do have to wonder though, if all the churches and Christians have stopped praying. I don’t mean that in a bad way or to attack anyone. However, the church has a good history of […]
Why A Boycott Is Not The Answer
American Family Association has gotten near, if not over, 750,000 people to boycott Target over their transgender bathroom policy. (They may be closer to a million by now) That’s a lot of people. However, let’s be honest – if the AFA would have instead gotten those 750,000 – nay, a fraction of those, to stop […]
Krist Adams’ Church Consultation Services or How To Grow A Church
I’m thinking of starting my own church consultation company. Me and my team will come in, look at your church from the outside in to see where you can improve, where you can change things, add things, delete things to boost attendance, improve your offering, and get more of the things that matter most and […]
That Kind of Preaching Doesn’t Belong Here
Have you heard the sad news of the 103 year old who was barred from attending the church that she had been attending since she was 11? It is a sad story, with lessons we can all learn. She and the pastor had some kind of disagreement and she was barred from the church, just […]
