Share A church is doing a series called Urban Legends: Debunking Spiritual Myths. They liken certain “myths” in Christianity to Big Foot and the Loch Ness Monster. The upcoming “myth” that they are preaching on is the “myth” that Christians Shouldn’t Judge. In other words, “There are some people out there spreading a myth that [...]

Share I was just looking over a Christian relief organizations holiday “catalog” of how you and I can participate in helping those in the Third-World.

Share. . . just forgiven. Have you seen that bumper sticker driving around your town? I have. And I must admit that there was a day I nodded in favor of it as a pinnacle of Truth, thinking, “Not perfect but forgiven—yep, that’s absolutely correct.” Not so much any more.

Share Jesus said that we’d be known as his followers by our love (John 13). He also prayed that his followers would be united in love so that the world would see that God loves them as he loves his son, Jesus (John 17). I knew this about Jesus’ words, but as I was reading [...]

ShareWith this post I wanted to compare and contrast two views, or perceptions, of Christian truth. Perception one views God’s truth as narrower, with their personal truth and belief lining-up closely with God’s truth; thus “orthodox”. To the varying degrees that everyone else’s beliefs stray from “orthodox” belief, the closer they get to unorthodoxy (heresy) [...]

Share The hospital Chief of Staff’s voice could be heard clearly over the intercom. His question to his staff, interns, and orderlies was shockingly simple. “He called us together to ask us this?
