I love kung fu, and while it may be hard to believe, studying kung fu aids in my spiritual growth. One of the ways it aids me is that it gives me an avenue of expressing abstract principles of truth that stick with me.
here is a great example that I am teaching now in […]
Recent events in India have started me thinking about the subject of organ selling. No one disputes that organ donation is a good thing. Well except for a few radicals and fringe groups. But I was curious concerning the reasoning on a ban of the sale of organs. It’s a subject, quite frankly, that I […]
As a Christian, modesty is important. I don’t think many Christians understand what true modesty is.
I looked it up on dictionary.com and came up with this:
Modesty:
1. the quality of being modest; freedom from vanity, boastfulness, etc.
2. regard for decency of behavior, speech, dress, etc.
3. simplicity; moderation.
Whenever I speak of modesty to […]
Look around at most things that most people do today and you’ll find one thing: absence of Jesus. Modern society has fallen hook-line-and-sinker for the lie of the enemy and modern Christianity has fostered that lie by discluding Jesus from just about every facet of its existence and shame on us for allowing […]
Just thought I would supply this information for you guys to give you some perspective on the timeline of Genesis and why the geneologies are important in the Bible.
Did you know that Adam died approximately 1000 years before the flood? That’s all.
Did you know that Noah was only 9 generations down from the beginning […]
Simply a matter of priority.
Do you love God? If so, how much? Do you love Him enough?
Consider this for a moment:
1 Corinthians 6:20 says this, “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
consider this for one moment, what does it mean […]
I have a question revolving around the beliefs of those under the Catholic moniker. More specifically, I have a question regarding the role of the Church and its authority. To illustrate this question more indepth (and to give you an idea about the inspiration for my question), I refer to the following sentence […]
There has been a debate that had sparked during the last election as to whether or not Christians and politics made for a tasty treat. I thought the issue had died (mostly because it had been buried under a mound of linklogs) but it has recently been revived by our very own Junior Pundit. […]
At any time, at any place, and from anybody, this question has resonated throughout history as important not only to the direction of a person, nation, race, or religion, but to the struggle inherent between the two major world views, secular and Christian.
As Christianity takes perhaps its hardest beating since the founding of Western civilization, […]
Lately God has been teaching me something. If you’re a Christian how often have you ever been overcome when thinking about the God you serve? In the Old Testament whenever a Patriarch was exposed to even the smallest piece of God’s presence they fell flat on their face in tears. Do you ever ponder how […]
1 Peter 2:9, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;” (NKJV)
The original KJV reads, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar […]
Foreign Affairs - God’s Country? - Walter Russell Mead “Religion has always been a major force in U.S. politics, but the recent surge in the number and the power of evangelicals is recasting the country’s political scene — with dramatic implications for foreign policy. This should not be cause for panic: evangelicals are passionately devoted […]
Go here, I have a request to make of you all. I have shared my testimony, and I also would like to know yours. Fight that urge to say, “nah, I don’t think I will do that today. Not my thing.” Do it any way. Please!!!!!!!!
This article seems to paint its main subject as an exception to the “rule” that all evangelicals are conservative Republicans. Someone needs to tell the reporter that some evangelicals actually lean the other way…
A friend of mine, Danny, was a youth minister at a UMC church outside of StL. The other day, they held a surprise meeting and fired him. A bunch of trumped up charges. He is married with one child, they lived in the church housing, so they will have to find a […]
I saw a short blog item today that got me thinking about the thin line between patriotism (or nationalism) and religion. Where does loyalty to country end and loyalty to God begin? Where do they mesh?
As most who know me know about me, I am a martial artist. I love it, few things in my life garner such a high attention as the martial arts. The only other thing being the Bible and my faith.
I have taken great pains to find ways to incorporate my passion into my […]
I have a question to pose and it is something that has plagued me for a long time. How is death a punishment for sinners? How can someone be punished for something if they aren’t aware of it?
Was anybody overly superstitious today? Come on, you’re among friends, you can tell us. ;-)
