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…

In God We Trust
In God We Trust (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. The entire idea of Christianity revolves around having faith. Faith that the Bible is real, faith that God is…

A Quote From Wonder Years
Since we are on the topic of “what have you done for me lately” and “living in the now” I thought I would throw out an awesome quote from the classic TV show Wonder Years. You should give your actions serious considerations because they could have serious consequences. It’s easy to take a stand on…

So….What Have You Done For Me Lately?
Often times we live out our lives based on the next big event happening. We don’t live in the now and quite frankly, we miss many opportunities to connect with others and represent God because of it. One thing that I try to do on this site is post “Helping Hands!” They are designed…

What Have You Done For Me Lately?
This is a topic that I’ve wanted to talk about for awhile. I believe most of us have very short term memories. We can’t look past what is going on right now. In my opinion, this is one of the reasons divorce rates are so high. We are a “what have you done for…

Remember When…
This video has kind of taken the world by storm. I think stuff like this happens all of the time but people just play it off as “kids being kids”. As Christians, how do we reverse this trend of our youth? It’s sad that it has gotten this bad. The video is a bit long…

Challenge!
It’s been awhile since I’ve thrown out a challenge so here we go… As I shared with you earlier this week, I was addicted to porn. There are a staggering number of people (men, women, young, and old) that have a very similar addiction. You may be one of them or you may know…

Controlling the Addiction
With almost all addictions, when you give them up, you will likely have urges to go back. Something in your brain tells you that whatever you were addicted to was the correct thing for you and all of a sudden, you remove it from your life. So today I want to talk about how I…

A Single Confession (Part 2)
A couple of months ago I opened up to everyone and shared a little of my past (here). This next week is going to be along those same lines. ======================= A long time ago, my dad told me something that I will never forget. It’s one of those random one-liners that has just stuck with…

Relying On God
I’ve mentioned in the past (quite a few times actually) how important I believe prayer is. So with that, I wanted to share a quick little story about a couple of friends that I met down here in Texas. My friends had been living fairly comfortable lives, they had good jobs, a nice house,…

Decisions, Decisions
My wife and I recently announced that we are moving back to our hometown of Omaha, NE. I think we both assumed that one day we would move back but we just weren’t sure when that would be. So close to the start of this year, we both started praying about it. Those usually simple…

God Changes His Mind
One thing I have always found fascinating is that the God of the universe changes his mind. The all powerful, all knowing God that created you can change his mind. So how are we supposed to know his plan for us if he changes his mind? My answer to that is simply prayer. When you…
