And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and [...]

Alright, I am going to make this short and as painless as possible for my friends to hear this come out of my mouth. I am defending Joel Osteen. I am not about to say a bunch of things that will glorify him like his followers, but I am feeling like I need to defend him for [...]

Remember Katrina, or that Tsunami, or 9/11…or any other unexplainable event that causes mass devastation. Let me explain to some people that an event like that is just meat and potatoes to an unbeliever.

1John 2:7-14 NLT
Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment—to love one another—is the same message you heard before. Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living [...]

Last week I wrote a a blog about Love being a Verb, an action. Well, my weekend has been filled with Love! I feel like a cheerleader yelling A-C-T…I-O-N. It’s been kind words from Todd, he may not even knew he was doing it, but I knew. It was picking up the check at dinner, [...]
