You know, it’s so easy to proclaim your undying allegiance to the King of Kings when there is little, or no cost to pay. It’s so easy to passionately yell out, “Abba! I’ll die for you!” …. when there is no gun to your head. But how strong will your faith be “when the rubber meets the road?” [Read More]
The Harlem Shake is the latest craze to capture the youth of our churches. Where did it come from? Does it belong in the church? Should pastors allow this? [Read More]
Paul Cain, in his famous “Stadium” speech/prophecy, spoke of a time when a “nameless-faceless” generation would go about doing the works of the Kingdom – with signs, wonders and miracles in abundance. Repeatedly, young members of the “prophetic movement” are told that they ARE that generation. [Read More]
There are many church leaders, and churches in general, falling into sin and deception. I started really noticing this in the late 1980′s, when I was in my late teens and early 20′s. Deception and foolishness wasn’t as rampant back then … or maybe it was, and had not yet been brought to light. [Read More]
I have to confess, I took one look at Colton and the first thought that went through my head was, “Seriously? Since when does the Glory of the Almighty God look like an androgynous little girly-man?” Admittedly, this thought was little judgmental, but I think there’s an issue here that we need to talk about. So, I’m going to go out on a limb here and share my thoughts with you. To some, this may not paint me in a very positive light, but I don’t really care anymore. [Read More]
Shouldn’t this headline tell us something, church? “Christians Dominate ‘American Idol’ This Season” http://t.co/wy6SVa9s7U Lawless preaching will always result in idolatry among God’s people. May it never be said of me that I teach such compromise. Psalm 1:1-2 “Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the [...]
If the Body of Christ were to truly understand that this earth is not our home, it would completely revolutionize the way we live our lives. Our True Home is the Kingdom of Heaven, we are just strangers passing through this earth. The reason most of us feel “out of place”, or like we don’t belong anywhere here on earth, is because we were designed to be that way! [Read More]
Sometimes I think that one of the reasons why Jesus chose fishermen to be in His group of disciples was because of their “thick skin”. Jesus knew that He need people who could handle the Truth, even if it was a discomfort to their flesh. [Read More]
Since today is Superbowl 2013, I thought it would be good to re-release this post. Many people think I’m against sporting events, but that’s simply not the case. I just think we have better things to do. Additionally, if we (the Church) prepared our hearts to worship and serve God in the same way we prepare our hearts for the Super Bowl …. perhaps the world would be a better place. [Read More]
“We’re all on a journey” is a phrase that I have been hearing more and more lately. Some well-meaning, godly people have said it to me in an effort to add some perspective to my rather “intense” personality, others have uttered it while wanting to justify themselves in their compromise. Regardless of how the idea is conveyed to me, it is a legitimate scriptural concept. [Read More]
