I feel like I’ve backed myself into a corner. I feel like I’ve created a monster, wherein I casually debate hot-button or controversial issues on this blog, and thus people are expecting me to feed that monster. Truth be told, I don’t want to feed it. I want it to slither back into its cave … Read this post
The lukewarm Christian has become an epidemic. It is an often unspoken, but all too present reality in the American Church. The lukewarm Christian is the Sunday Christian, checking into service at 9:00 a.m. and checking out at 10:30 a.m. They are the believers who serve as little as possible, give as little as possible, … Read this post
Today’s guest post is from the truth-speaking, always honest, Jesus-loving Ken Hagerman. Ken’s blog is called Rambling with the Barba and I highly recommend it. Hope you enjoy. I’ve noticed something a little odd lately. I was reading a book and one of the characters was described as a good moral Christian. I was listening … Read this post
It’s inevitable–we’re all going to die. There, I said it. And now that I’ve started off this post on a happy note… Since we know we’re going to die, then it goes without saying, we will assuredly stand before God in that lovely little thing called Judgement. Now, I’m not heaven-minded. I don’t tend to … Read this post
Today, I’m posing one titillating, stirring, mind-bending (or if I’m being honest semi-mediocre) question for you to mull over and answer. Don’t leave me hanging. How do you personally feel about tattoos? Do you have any? Why or why not? This one could be a great discussion, so join in. Lay your answers on me…
The other day, while driving around on a gorgeous Spring day here in Arizona, my kids were observing the sites out of their car windows. Spotting birds, mountains, beautiful houses, trees. My son then said, “It’s bad to cut down trees. We don’t cut down trees, huh mommy?” My husband looked at me and whispered, … Read this post
A couple of months ago, I had the chance to be interviewed by Drew Marshall on his radio show. A few weeks prior to the actual radio spot, Drew and I shared a phone conversation. He was wanting to get to know me. Who is this Modern Reject chick and what is she all about? … Read this post
If the Church could do nothing, but only one thing to survive, I would suggest that discipleship would be it. Discipleship–disciples, who make disciples, who make disciples–is, I believe, the primary vehicle through which God desires to win men. Our Jesus discipled from the onset of His ministry. He didn’t only disciple His core 12 … Read this post
We’ve all heard Christians say it and we’ve most likely said it ourselves: “I’m just a sinner saved by grace.” We tell unbelievers that we are sinners just like them, only difference is, we’ve met Jesus, accepted His gift of salvation, and been saved. And let me just say, this is completely false. That’s right. … Read this post
from the archives When we first meet someone and we begin the usual obligatory chit chat, we inevitably ask the question, “So, what do you do?” And they give the expected answer. They state what they do for a living and talk briefly about their job or their career. I have always found this to … Read this post
