I continually hear the theme about God moving mountains for people in music. The only problem is the Bible never talks about God moving mountains for us. It talks about us moving them. There’s other songs that talk about God fighting the battle for you. But God isn’t fighting a battle for you. God is […]
Years ago when I first got saved, I attended a small church of less than 100. We didn’t have a worship band. In fact, all we had was a CD player and a bunch of CDs for our worship. I had been born again for probably less than a year when the youth pastor gave […]
These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. – Acts 17:11 The Apostle Paul said that the believers in Berea were more fair-minded (the KJV says ‘more noble’) because they 1.) received the […]
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 […]

People do bad things. People do good things. People do things. The thing is with these things is that they don’t start with the things. They start in the heart. When we look at an apple, we may see the apple, but we don’t see the seed. We don’t see the sunlight that goes into […]
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 […]
