So Good To Me
I’m the type of person that doesn’t really care all that much about movies or books. Unless the movies or books will give me some knowledge or self-improvement tips about something that I’m interested in, I tend to not care that much about them. To give you an example, I love reading books about angels…

American Christian
I have this battle raging inside of me. Like a never-ending war where no matter what I do, the war will not be won or lost. My entire life, I have been a Christian. I grew up in the church, first a Catholic, then a Baptist, then a non-denominational, then a Methodist, then back to…

Arise
I love to read the Bible. I find it fascinating the amount of history that can be found. Even if you don’t believe any of the stories in the Bible, there are still a ton of facts about civilization, humanity, and creation from when the stories were written. For example, we know that the Egyptians…

Light of the World
A few years back, I decided I wanted to write some short stories based off of some people that were on the receiving end of one of Jesus’ miracles and then witnessing Him being killed on the cross. This is the first of those stories. To be honest, this very short story took me about…

Light of the World
Below is a story that Joe wrote a few years ago about the blind man who was healed by Jesus. Joe had imagined and wrote about what that man might have felt while witnessing Jesus’ Crucifixion. “As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this…

Christian Laws
[polldaddy poll=10209590] The topic for today is “Christian Laws”. We had some friends that were planning on staying with us, an unmarried couple that would classify themselves as atheist. So I posed the question to my men’s group, should we request that they stay in separate rooms? If they refuse, do we request that…

Returning Carts
I realize there are a ton of ways to help others by spending money. Where it becomes a bit more challenging is helping others without spending a dime. So for this post, I wanted to share something that is very simple but for whatever reason had a huge impact on me. Growing up in Nebraska,…

You Are Worthy of Your Name
Every year since 2012, Joe has been creating “Best of Christian” CDs. Over the course of the year, he maintains a list of songs that are in the running and then narrows it down at the end of the year and creates awesome mixes. He’s posted all of them publicly below: 2012 2013 2014 2015…

Addiction
I am a man, living in the United States and I have become extremely brainwashed when it comes to techie goods. I am a techie. I work in the tech world. So it’s only logical for me to want “the next big thing” and to be an early adopter of all things technology. I have…

Easter!
Given that Easter is right around the corner, I thought I would share a video with you that I saw a few years back. I wish that I could have found one that didn’t have the dang church logo printed on it, but I couldn’t. Anyways, I encourage you to spend the next 5 minutes…

Tithing
My wife and I volunteered at our previous church for an organization that helps struggling families regain their feet. They were allowing these families that were in between housing stay at the church overnight for a certain amount of time. It was a Saturday where most of the families in the program were able to…

Helping Hands
It’s hard for me to take a message I hear on a Sunday and convert that to something I can incorporate into my daily/weekly/monthly habits. So I have created a series called “Helping Hands”. Every so often, I want to encourage you to help someone else. There are a million different things you can do…
