Someone forwarded this theological dilemna to me, what do you think. If you don’t know what a Calvinist is, don’t worry about it. Here is the link to the original. A Calvinist in the Queue A funny way of presenting an old paradox, from Mike Bird’s Evangelical Theology: A Calvinist arrives at St. Peter’s gates…
When Christians Are Christianity’s Worst Enemy
This is definitely something to think about. The article below is from the Huffington Post, follow the link to read the whole article. “I’m a Christian. I’m proud of my faith, and I love the church. But sometimes my fellow Christians make me want to scream. Like a couple days ago, when a restaurant server…
What our actions reveal about our hearts
SCRIPTURE: Mark 14:1-11 The religious leaders wanted to kill Jesus, this woman wanted to bless Jesus, Judas wanted to profit by Jesus. Their actions revealed their hearts, as do ours. Jesus is not unconcerned about the poor, He knows that people who love Him and God WILL also care for the poor. He knew that the…
Yeah, what he said!
This thought is not original to him (Romans 12:21), but is worth repeating! Today, wherever you experience something that is wrong or evil or hurtful… overcome it good!
Watch for it… work for it… wait for it!!!
SCRIPTURE: Mark 13:32-37 In Mark 13, Jesus describes what this present age will be like after He goes back to God. It will be nothing less than a clash of kingdoms, and it will seem as if darkness is winning. But be strong, take heart, and wait for the Lord, for He is coming. Thing is, we…

God is helping us!
SCRIPTURE: Psalm 60 David is praying for God’s help, and wondering why God isn’t helping. When God steps in, it doesn’t matter how great our enemy is. But the problem is, God doesn’t always step in. Here David thinks that it’s because God is angry, that He is punishing them. Sometimes God holds back because of…
Worshiping at the cross
SCRIPTURE: 2 Chronicles 29-36 How can the people celebrate, sing, worship, when there is so much bloodshed (2 Chronicles 29:27-28)? We have a hard time understanding why God commanded sacrifices, but there is a very important reason. The curse of sin is death (Genesis 2:17); by rights we should be eternally dead. But God holds back His judgment, and waits…
“Humanity as it could be…”
What if we actually took the time to stop and ‘connect’ with strangers? Would we find ourselves caring more? Is it possible that this photographer is touching something important, something deep. That deep down we are all family, all created by God as His children. Sin builds walls that separate, that isolate, than alienate. We…
What a day that will be!!!
SCRIPTURE: Mark 13:24-27 History is moving towards a major showdown. The kingdom of God will finally confront the kingdom of darkness. All creation will groan and tremble, everything will seem bleak and hopeless, darkness will seem to triumph. And in the final moment when darkness reigns, a light will shine, the sun will rise, a glimmer…
