Don't Stop Praying

What if we spent our entire day never saying “amen?” No, I don’t mean literally, it is quite okay for you to utter the word as it simply means that you are in agreement, but think about living a life in constant and continuous prayer. Imagine waking up and asking God to give you the strength and endurance to focus on him all day long. Then there is driving to work, your work day, breaks, lunches, going to the grocery store, dropping the kids off, picking them up, and so on. All of your daily activities will be spent focusing on the lord and seeking his guidance and direction throughout your day. Crazy idea? You wouldn’t call it crazy if someone were to say that they carry their phone with them everywhere they go. Why do we see our conversations with God any different? We tend to forget that the amazing creator of everything is right here for us. But it is only one-way communication, we might think… if that is the case then try to spend a little more time focusing on your conversati...

Propaganda and Division

Earlier this week, I posted my thoughts on the Olympic opening ceremony in Paris and expressed me being put off by the mockery of Jesus’ last supper. At the time, I did not realize there was controversy, and that several media outlets were reporting it was actually representing a Greek Bacchanal, I was simply sharing my own thoughts regarding my own observations. The bigger issue at play here is the bait and switch that occurred. Faithful people instantly knew what the opening ceremony represented, but then there was a concerted effort by several media and social media outlets to very quickly call Christians ignorant, uneducated, and overly sensitive.

These posts were met with the scorn and mockery of several people, based on what was reported by these media outlets. I don’t care if you agree with my opinion, that the scene was the last supper or not, but I do care about the divis...

Jimmy Kimmel's Response to Vegas

I found this quote while listening to Jimmy Kimmel’s emotional and controversial response to the Las Vegas shooting through teary eyes: “I want this to be a comedy show, I hate talking about stuff like this. I just want to, you know, laugh about things every night, but that seems to be becoming increasingly difficult lately. It feels like someone has opened a window into Hell…” I don’t agree with Kimmel’s political views on gun control (though I am not an impassioned gun enthusiast either), but I am in full agreement with the emotion behind his speech. I also think he might be on to something when suggesting a window has opened to Hell. Day after day, I think of ways that will convince a dying world of it’s need for the salvation offered in Christ alone. Perhaps, if the world is beginning to recognize that a window has been opened, it is time to be a little more straight forward about who Jesus is. It is a little ironic that we refer to Hell as a place where evil comes f...
