It’s Good To Take a Stand For Marriage
The reason that Carrie Prejean is in the news is not only for the fact that she is good looking and was Miss California—it’s that she was almost Miss USA (or at least that’s what many said) but for an answer she gave to Perez Hilton about same-sex marriage. In her interview portion, Hilton asked [...]

Save It For When You’re Married
In the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the two young children that live with their widower father are all excited because they feel that if their father kisses the lovely leading lady then “they’ll have to get married.” Today, the leading lady and man move in together while he’s recovering from a divorce. Our society [...]
Confession Is Not Enough
It’s a given part of human nature. Each and every one of us have sinned. We’ve all “fallen short” to use the concept that Paul uses in the book of Romans. However, the fact that we all sin is not an excuse for sinning. The grace that God gives us to triumph over any sin [...]
Anything You Record May Come Back to Haunt You
Carrie Prejean wasn’t the first person to make a recording she thought would remain private, only to find out that it did not. Many people every day are making recordings, taking photographs and writing statements that they believe will only be read, seen and heard by the intended recipients. Yet, the Internet has proven just [...]
10 Lessons from Carrie Prejean

Specifically, there are 10 things that I believe that you and I should consider and [...]
It’s About the Heart – A Relationship With God
It’s often said that Christianity is different than any other religion because Christianity is not really a religion as much as it is a relationship. God created people to have a relationship with Him, and when we sinned, the relationship was broken. That didn’t stop God from wanting that relationship, it just meant that it [...]
How Hard Would It Be To Meet the President?
Have you ever wondered how hard it would be to meet a famous person? This past Sunday I was at a church where Dr. Woodrow Kroll of Back to the Bible was the special speaker, and I figured that it would be relatively easy to go up and shake his hand, and it got me [...]
It’s About the Heart – He Is Everything
If God is a part of your life, then you have to ask yourself, how much of my life is His? You see, He will not rest until He makes you into the image of His dear Son. He wants to be the Lord of your life. That means that there are two different people [...]
It’s About the Heart – Throughout the Bible
When you ask the question, “Do You Love Me?” you immediately realize that this is a question directed at the heart. What you may not realize is that it’s always been about the heart—from the beginning of time. You see, throughout the Bible, God has always been concerned about our heart attitude toward Him. Throughout [...]
10 Worst Bible Passages
If you were to pick the hardest Bible passages, what would you pick? A recent post by Ann Althouse suggested her Top 10 Worst Bible Passages. A lot of the problems that people have with these passages has to do with context and an understanding of the times. For example: 2. "Go, now, attack Amalek, [...]
Do You Love Me?
John 21 is an interesting passage. There’s some debate as to when it takes place, but the meaning is powerful. Jesus talks with Peter, alone, after he had denied the Lord three times. And we find Jesus asking Peter three times if he loves Him. We know that the word for “Love” changes in each [...]
Better to Look Like a Mutant?
Here’s a passage that some use to criticize the Bible: And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend [...]
Thinking About Sex is the Same As Doing It
The Pharisees believed that they had kept every letter of the law—and prided themselves on what was on the outside. As Christ continues to underscore how important the heart is, He takes aim at sexual sin—and says that it isn’t enough to simply abstain from committing adultery, but that you have to keep it out [...]
I Have 7,000 Other Prophets
This past Sunday, in the message of the morning, the Pastor was in the book of I Kings, looking at the story of Elijah when he’s in the wilderness. What stuck with me, when looking at this passage again, was the whole part of the passage where God tells Elijah just how many people He [...]
