Doubting Your Faith

by

Many of us have doubts from time to time when it comes to our faith in God. Is it really worth it? Is it actually true? Is there really a God? I don’t think God is afraid of our questions or put off by our doubt. He wants us to choose Him, and making a choice requires consideration of all the facts involved.

Questions

If God would have wanted automated robots who had no questions and who had no choice but to follow Him, He would not have blessed us with the gift of freewill. [Read more…] about Doubting Your Faith

Understanding Your Purpose

by

I’m not sure we get it. Life is incredibly short in the grand scheme of things, yet we live each day as if we have an endless supply. Aligning our priorities, getting our finances in order and doing something about the “Jesus thing” always seem to be something we’ll work on tomorrow.

Hourglass

How Big is Too Big?

by

I want to start with a disclaimer: I currently attend a large church (4,000+ attendees each week). Perhaps it is because of this that I have recently been pondering if perhaps the so-called megachurches of our day are hindering the spread of the Gospel.

Jesus lived a life above reproach. Though He was tempted just as we are, He did not sin. Emulating His life is the Holy Grail for those of us who desire to follow Him. Living a sin free life is pretty much guaranteed to be impossible, but why is that? Why do we find it so difficult to live a life of purity and devotion? After all, every time we sin it is because we choose to do so. Couldn’t we just choose not to and live a life more pleasing to God?

Living with Passion

by

What does it mean to live with passion for the sake of Jesus Christ? Those of us who seek to follow Him would probably agree that it is our desire to live a life full of passion, a life fully alive in Him. In practice, however, our resolve can wane and we end up swept away by the tides of life.

Living With Passion

As long as we are focused on ourselves, we will never come to terms with what it means to live a life of devotion. To experience the life of joy found only in Christ, our focus must be on Him and Him alone. [Read more…] about Living with Passion
