Share This last weekend in Berkeley, CA—just outside San Francisco—an obviously practicing sinner was ordained as a card-toting member of the professional clergy. One brief glance at his attire and how he carried himself was all that was needed to see the obvious sin this man was involved in. Though as clear as day by [...]

Share James once said, “Confess your sins to each other so that you may be healed.” A simple and profound truth. Healing comes with confession. Or better put, healing comes with admitting and walking in truth. Not to long ago my son stole a little (and I do mean little) toy from a friend of [...]

SharePost 2 of 2 If you haven’t already, please pause and read post 1. I am still in process over this and have been for some time… My journey with this passage began about a year ago. I was reading a book written by a Calvinist who believed in the 5 points of Calvinism (TULIP) [...]

SharePost one of two… Warning: Long post ahead. Chapter five in Romans is the pivotal point of Paul’s letter. Everything prior is building up to it.
