Over the past few blog posts I have written, I have focused on what it means to be a true believer and follower of Jesus Christ. I have discussed my opinion on the viral Super Bowl commercial from “He Gets Us.” I have talked about the arrogance of humanity and the unseen war we areContinue reading “Please Don’t Misunderstand Me”

To “Believe” Is More Than Believing
The Church likes to quote John 3:16 and then stand on the doctrine that all it takes is belief in Jesus to earn salvation. This is a false doctrine and false ideology. The translation of John 3:16 into English is weak and misses a lot of context from the original language. The word for “Believe”Continue reading “To “Believe” Is More Than Believing”
“Surely you won’t die!”
With all of this talk about the Super Bowl commercial, “He Gets Us,” I thought I would share my take on the subject. If you haven’t seen the commercial, I will do my best to summarize. The commercial is filled with pictures of people washing other people’s feet. It is clear that the people washingContinue reading ““Surely you won’t die!””
Hear, Listen, and Do
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit atContinue reading “Hear, Listen, and Do”
God-Controlled
Lately, I have been pondering the idea of self-control. It is something we hear often. Growing up, our parents taught us to practice self-control. As we get older, we are told to focus on having self-control. The older I get, the more I have realized that self-control is easier said than done, and I haveContinue reading “God-Controlled”
The Hard Truth
C.S. Lewis gave us one of the best descriptions of God in his book, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. When the children enter the world of Narnia, they are told of the great Aslan. Upon his description, Susan states, “Well, he doesn’t sound very safe” (My paraphrase ). Mr. Beaver replies, “Safe? WhoContinue reading “The Hard Truth”
The Bride
I was driving up Highway 55 with my wife to McCall, Idaho. We were listening to a message by John Bevere titled “The Knock-off Jesus.” Even though his message focused on believing in the Jesus of the Bible and not the Jesus of society, he talked about the relationship between Christ and His followers. HeContinue reading “The Bride”
It Starts With Us!
You know what I miss? I miss kindness and respect. I miss people genuinely caring about each other. I miss solidarity and unity in our society. I miss when people could think and believe different things but still show love and compassion for each other. I miss a world where opinions didn’t determine how weContinue reading “It Starts With Us!”
Draw Near
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8a). Did you know that your relationship with God is based on the work you are willing to put into it? James made this very clear by stating that we must draw near to God if we want God to draw near toContinue reading “Draw Near”
Heart’s Desire
Have you ever wanted to have a relationship with God like the kind of relationship you have with your spouse or your close friends? Have you ever wanted to hear and know the voice of God? Have you ever wanted to see God the way the prophets and disciples say Him? I ask these questionsContinue reading “Heart’s Desire”
