A Not-So-Gentle Reminder
Sin separates us from God (Isaiah 59:2). All of us are sinners (Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:7-10). The ultimate consequence of sin is the wrath of God for eternity (Matthew 25:41; Mark 16:16; John 3:18-19; John 3:36; Revelation 20:14-15). There are, however, real consequences in this life. Sin spreads its way through our lives and, […]
Prayer: The Missing Element
Prayer promises are big. They are so big that they may seem unbelievable. for example, Jesus said,”… if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20). A similar quote is […]
Important Religious Research
Sometimes, the practice of faith receives a boost from the sciences. Over the weekend an analysis was posted by the Heritage Foundation which brings together many studies on the benefits of religion. One of the conclusions hints at the breadth of this report. The available evidence clearly demonstrates that regular religious practice is both an […]
Who Shares the Gospel of God?
The gospel of God (Romans 1:2) is the best news anyone has ever heard. It is a declaration of freedom to a world bound up in sin and its consequences. It is a message of freedom. It is an expression of love from the source of love. Indeed, words fail to describe its breadth and […]

Romans – Know the Book
Romans is the most profound book in the Bible. Written by Paul it plumbs the depths of theology and offers magnificent pearls for every reader. It is a book that raises praises to the Almighty God and centers the readers thoughts upon Jesus his inestimable Son. Tragically, many errant doctrines are taught based upon misunderstandings […]
The Best BFF
(Note to the unknowing; “BFF” means “best friend forever” in texting-speak). The youth have updated an old saying. We once spoke of our best friend. But they have taken it to a higher level and added and element of timelessness. I remember the guys from my childhood who would both fit into that BFF designation. […]

What Christians Can Learn from Football
Football fans are teaching us a lesson about faith. These early days of January are a football fan’s favorite time. This weekend saw NFL teams fighting it out in the playoffs and tomorrow night Alabama and LSU will face off in the biggest game in recent memory. Fans are beside themselves. Their eyes are red […]
Tolerance
Tolerance is an important buzz-word in American culture. We are taught, encouraged and cajoled into being tolerant of every odd idea that appears. There is no greater complement among some than to be thought a tolerant person. Tolerance has become the holy grail of our godless society. The idea of “live and let live” has […]
