Jesus Said What?!
Posted on September 23, 2015 1 Comment
Some people think that Jesus was just a good man. They believe he had some helpful things to say about how we should treat one another and stop being so darn judgmental. As for his miracles or his claims of being God, though, that is stuff that can be shrugged off as either exaggerated or […]
The Pleasures of True Christianity
Posted on August 11, 2015 2 Comments
I recently read a biography on William Wilberforce, who almost single-handedly abolished the slave trade in Great Britain and, decades later, slavery altogether in the early 1800’s. He began the fight at the age of 21 and the final law to abolish slavery was passed three days before his death over 40 years later. He […]
Come Clean!

Psalm 32 is all about the freedom that comes from confessing sin. I’m sure that many of us have, at one time or another, been overwhelmed by our own sinfulness. We feel a deep sense of shame for the things we’ve done and think that God must be disappointed in us. However, this shame and disappointment […]
When Jesus Prays For You
Posted on April 19, 2015 Leave a Comment
I’m not sure if it’s right or wrong, but I find it to be comforting when someone I perceive to be spiritually stronger than I am prays for me. I suppose that subconsciously it feels like God is more likely to answer that prayer because of their impressive faith. That may or may not be the […]
Don’t Be a “Red-Letter” Christian
Posted on January 5, 2015 1 Comment
I was reading a book recently that left me very disappointed. I did not realize it ahead of time, but the author is one whom could be identified as a so-called “Red Letter Christian”, which is a semi-organized group of Christians who believe that the whole Bible is true but intentionally place particular emphasis on […]
The Gospel is an Offense
Posted on December 2, 2014 Leave a Comment
Galatians 5:11 calls the gospel “the offense of the cross”. The message of Jesus – that he is God in the flesh, died for sin, rose from death, and will come again to judge the living and the dead – is one that some people will celebrate with joy and others will despise with the […]
Why We Don’t Pray Enough
Posted on November 21, 2014 Leave a Comment
Prayer is one of those things that every Christian knows is essential, yet almost every Christian would admit that they don’t prioritize it like they should. I’ve hardly met a believer who thinks that they pray enough. We know it is important, yet prayer inevitably tends to take a back seat to other (usually less urgent) […]
8 Verses That Clearly Show Jesus Is God
Posted on October 22, 2014 Leave a Comment
I sometimes get asked the question, “Where does it say in the Bible that Jesus is God?” What an awesome question! While there are tons of places to turn to in the Bible that speak to this truth, some of them show it more clearly than others. These are eight of the clearest ones you’ll find. […]
Does John 15 Say Christians Can Lose Their Salvation?
Posted on October 11, 2014 3 Comments
I had a great conversation a little while ago with a friend about Jesus’ words in John chapter 15. We were discussing if that particular passage teaches that Christians can lose their salvation. It is easy to see why that question would come to mind. Jesus says, in part… [1] I am the true vine, […]
8 Things That Won’t Get You To Heaven
Posted on September 6, 2014 3 Comments
Just about everybody wants to go to heaven when they die. Granted, the definition of what “heaven” is varies from person to person, but here I’m talking about the Biblical heaven: a place of eternal, immensely fulfilling life in the presence of Jesus and all those who have had their sins forgiven by God. This […]
