New Year's Resolutions...
I haven’t written in a while. Not for sure why, might be because I have determined that my opinions/beliefs might not be worth mentioning or just been to busy. Maybe a combination of both. Though with that said I choose to write this…a mere suggestion for a New Year’s Resolution…guess for those who do not have one yet.
This season is harder for me than most, for it reminds...

Are We Really That Stupid...
reblogged from Religion Sucketh
I read this article earlier this morning but a buddy posted about it with links to the quiz. I am someone who doesn’t keep up with other religions or the history of the church outside of what scripture says. So was shocked that I got 13 out of 15 which was much higher than most of Americans according to this survey…hmm.

You Can Be Everything God Wants You To Be by Max...
When I got this book I was expecting something completely different than what was received. It was a gift book and advertised for graduates and I naturally assumed it would not provide much benefit for me. I was wrong, it shifted focus to identifying what God has given us on an individual basis and how our uniqueness can not only enrich our lives but glorify God by grasping it applying it to our...

Jesus never took an offering (nor prayed for one)

*none explicitly/none i can remember
and you know how everyone who prays for the offering prays the same standard prayer about God using the money well??? well, tell that to the guy in charge of the money. God’s not coming physically to spend any of that money. sorry, but some things that a lot of churches do just bug me because they’re a) unnecessary b) not really biblical

Gao Zhisheng's Life in Danger - Please Help Now!
Supporters around the world were shocked on March 27, 2010, when Gao Zhisheng spoke with his family for the first time since he was abducted on February 4 last year. Media buzzed with news of his reappearance, as Gao Zhisheng connected with friends, family, reporters and colleagues. But even this brief reprieve from silence was not free.
“Gao was being held under tight security during the...

Is it more pleasing to God by us learning more about His Word without doing what it says?

Who are we representing?
Just a quick thought…
It seems very common when I am talking with people about Christ or just trying to encourage folks in Christ for them to tell me that they know in order to get their life right they need to be in church or something to that extent.
My question is if we are the light to the world, Christians who represent Christ, shouldn’t actions, witness, words, etc be...
Internet Awareness for Parents/Users
For the parents:
The internet can be a scary thing to allow your children to just run wild with. The Family Research Council has an article that every parent should read and be aware of! Explains things you can do to protect your kids from online predators/pornography. Download the article here.
Even though Google, Ask, Yahoo, Bing, etc have safe search options there are many times images,...
Awareness: Persecuted Church
It’s like America is in a bubble and we have no clue as to what goes on in the outside world around us! This is CRAZY!
Did you know it is estimated that 176,000 Christians were martyred from mid-2008 to mid-2009?
That is 482 deaths a day, one every 3 minutes. This doesn’t even include, raping, kidnapping, imprisonment, acid thrown on faces/bodies, beatings, burning of...

Thank you...
When I asked for more of you…this is not what I had in mind. I expected feelings of excitement and zeal instead I am receiving messages of convictions and repentance. I wanted fire but instead a burdened heart. I wanted unity but instead I find division. I wanted more passion to reach lost instead a passion for the state of a complacent church. I expected enthusiasm and joy but am angry,...

Obedience to the Word of God is the first principle upon which relationship with God is established. Christianity is one hundred percent supernatural - God possessing man. Everything that Jesus did was the will and the word of the Father. So everything the Christian does, if he is a real one, should be the will and word of Jesus Christ. People talk about the heaven they are going to, but I...
Seeking after God...
Matthew 7:7-11(NIV) says,
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give...
