"As God has shown us by turning stone to bread, So we all must lend a helping hand." - We Are the World by Michael Jackson

By nature, we are evaluative creatures. Very few of us start eating a meal without gaining a pretty good idea of what is sitting in front of us. We want to know what we're ( Read more... )

Growing up is a process.  Slow and gradual.

But there comes a point where everything changes.  Thinking changes.  From that point on, one understands that they are now a man, and no longer a boy; are now a woman, and no longer a girl.

That doesn't mean there won't be some boyish/girly behavior.  But the thinking is different.  The understanding and ( Read more... )

What do we do when we cannot believe God?

"One of the devil's favorite temptations is the kind we cannot argue out of.

We simply have to believe.

That's what we call faith."

Satan wants to make us doubt God. He wants to get us to the place where we cannot trust God.

Today, I arrived shortly after an auto accident had occurred.  The car had gone off the road, through a fence, flipped, and landed in a creek.  The rescue workers arrived shortly after I did, and immediately went to work.  While a couple checked the driver to make sure he was stable, the others began cutting the fence apart.  This struck me.  ( Read more... )

• open well - easily contaminated by anything the wind blows in
• open season - everything there is fair game

Christians could have never made a difference at the movie theater if they never quit going.

How to Live on 24 Hours a Day

by Arnold Bennett

Short review:

Clever book, British theming. Worth a read because it is short. Requires application to today's culture, but has some excellent points and challenges about how we live our lives.

Forgotten God
by Francis Chan

Short Review:
A-mazing book. A must-read at 5 stars! If there is a recent book that I would suggest to read right now, this is it. Forgotten God is a balanced and straightforward work on the Holy Spirit.

This book is striking. Not so much in its insight, but in its clarity. Chan doesn't really present any new and ( Read more... )
