Evangelical Cannibalism – Why We Eat Our Own

Tullian Tchividjian, Mark Driscoll and Rob Bell. Just saying those names on Facebook, Twitter, or in a blog can reciprocate some nasty comments. Why do we feel the need to list the sins of the people who once led us and now are on the “down and outs”? Please don’t tell me that it is […]

Terminator and the laws of nature

Love is the most powerful weapon that we have as followers of Jesus. It isn’t truth, doctrine, convincing arguments, discernment or even clean living. The most powerful weapon that we have in our arsenal is love. I’ve seen love shine through illness, death, hate, racism, divorce, depression and regret. When you see love in these […]

The Suicide Squad and Hero Mythology

There’s no other way to say it. I’m a nerd. Not only am I a nerd, I’m pretty predictable nerd. If Marvel puts out a movie, I’m going to watch it. You want to make a movie about a guy that shrinks to the size of an ant and his arch enemy looks like a […]

You’re Being Lied To

“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and […]

Sweet Land of Liberty

On this fourth of July, I find myself incredibly grateful to live in this great country, even though we may not all agree on the decisions that our leadership makes. However, that is one of the things that makes it so great. We have a voice and we are able to express the things that […]

Noah and Marriage

It is interesting that the rainbow is the symbol that seems to be stuck in the middle of this argument about marriage. A lot of people get bent out of shape when they see the rainbow now because they feel like it has been stolen from a “biblical” point of view but maybe it helps us have at […]

The Dangers of Silence

For the past year I’ve been working on a project called “First Church of the Broken”. Currently, I am in chapter four and I have about three more chapters to go. The premise of the book is “Loving others in a world that relentlessly tears them apart.” I have felt for some time that this […]

Seventeen Years

Armageddon had just come out, Friends was still on television and the search engine Google was founded. The Bulls were the NBA national champions. Clinton was impeached. (No comments please). “Gettin’ Jiggy with it” was a really popular song. Try getting that song out of your head now. (Na-na, na, na, na-na, na…you’re turn.) You’re […]

Me and KJV

I am pretty jacked! This Sunday I am starting a class called “Reading Your Bible”. I am passionate about this study because my life was changed due to my relationship with God and His love letter to us. Here’s how it all started. Me and KJV – I remember being a High School student and making the […]

Accusations

Just as a refresher, I’m writing some thoughts down about the Church and how we are charged with loving others in a world that relentlessly tears them apart. We’ve talked a little bit about how part of our problem as the Church is that we’ve targeted other people as our enemy when in fact our […]
