What is the love of God? That is a good question that has at its root the consequences of eternity. So many people today like to use the argument “you’re not loving like Jesus” or “aren’t you supposed to love like God loves?” Or “that’s not the love of Christ.” Some even say that Christians […]

The First Casualties In The Christian Church (and what we can learn from them)
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.

We live in an age where everyone is considered a “Christian.” You can claim to be a Christian without reading the Bible, knowing the Lord, or accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior.

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 […]
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 […]
