Sunday Song
Alright…so things got a little jumbled up this week and that left me with my Freebie Friday post on a Wednesday. So today is Freebie Wednesday! Given that this week is all about going to church, and church usually falls on a Sunday, I thought it would be fun to post a little song about my favorite…

Should You Go To Church?
I know many people that say they believe in God but also say they don’t need church. To say someone is not a Christian because they don’t go to church is down right wrong. But at the same time, if you really are a Christian, you should take advantage of every opportunity to serve God…

Go To Church
This week’s (or month’s) challenge is not only about getting you to go to church but about getting you to go to the right church. I will touch on my thoughts about church tomorrow and why I think church is good and why I think church is bad. But most of the reasons I…

Life Lesson From a Child
Given the topic of this week, forgiveness, I decided to research a little on the experts…children. I found this poem (here) that was written by a 6 year old regarding a bully: Give Me Your Love When I look at you, you have a really big smile But I don’t. You are pretty, But…

A Kind Act
This one will cost a little bit of money but hey, if you want some free ways of helping out, take a look (here) or add a comment. This is kind of related to my tithing post (here) in that I don’t feel like you have to give 10% to a church every time you…

My Mistake
Do you ever have those situations you look back on and wish you would have handled them differently? I hate those situations. Why can’t I just handle them right the first time? This is usually caused by emotions. Sometimes the emotions are personal and sometimes they are driven by external entities. I guess this…

What Would You Do?
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a small post about WWJD (here) where I talk about discouragement. This week, I’m going to throw out a tough question and then ask you what you would do and what you think Jesus would do. Tomorrow I will share a similar situation and how I handled it. …

Forgiveness
Welcome back and I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! For those of you that are new or for those of you that need a little refresher, last week I wrote about honesty and I challenged you to try to be completely honest in one aspect of your life (read more here). I then shared…

Good Tunes
I came into this week with high hopes but also some unknowns. I had no idea how people would react to what I shared but I felt like God was calling me to share it. I am very happy that God placed the people in my life that he did that could help me through…

Try Listening
To go along with this weeks challenge about honesty and confession (see here), a big part of that is listening. As I touched on briefly yesterday, listening to what God is telling you is a key. Being honest and confessing something to somebody leaves you vulnerable. As human beings we naturally hate being vulnerable. So…

Do You Need Prayer?
If you are still struggling with something, pray about it and really try to listen to God. Believe me, when I was going through what I shared with you yesterday (here), I prayed all of the time but I never listened. I was the one doing all the talking and never took the time to…

A Single Confession
The challenge for this week is to be honest in one aspect of your life (see here for the full challenge). I think at one point, every single one of us has hid something from someone. For some of us, we are still hiding something, and for others, we have a clear conscience. So I’m challenging you…
