But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy […]

American Jericho
The debate on abortion has started raging again with the new law in New York stoking the fires, as if Christians should ever remain silent on the issue. But ever since Roe vs Wade legalized the murdering of children decades ago, it seems that the popular, national Christian voice has always been about picketing, writing […]
Pray Really Hard
I was listening to the radio the other day, flipping through the channels and I paused for a moment on a call-in show. The woman talking to the host asked him what she could do about something going on in the national spotlight. After the host said that there was basically nothing to do, the […]
If You Don’t Move The Mountain, It Won’t Move
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.

A Good Plan or God’s Plan

Should Led Zeppelin Lead Worship?
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 […]
You Had To Be There
With the invention of the internet came the wonderful ability to reach across time and space and preach the Gospel to those who physically can’t be at the location where the message is being given at that time and place. We now have the ability to reach those all the way around the world with […]
The Lies We Believe
What would happen if I would go to your school or your work and start telling everyone that you were a liar? I’d tell them that you lied to me, my family, your friends, your family. I’d tell them that you lied about this and that, big and small. And I would do this day […]
Keep Standing
I was skimming through the radio the other day, and my attention was caught on this secular radio station with these people talking. One of the DJs was saying that he thought it was brave for a person to go out and eat by themselves at a restaurant on Friday or Saturday night after 8 […]
