Moving from Religion to Relationship Not too long ago I found out that a Christian author I admired had pulled away from the faith. This surprised me. It wasn't because someone pulled away from the faith. I realize everyone's faith is not fully established. It's also not the first time and it...

Another great timing, at least in my life. Enjoy! Double Blow So a couple coworkers told you about this nightclub they joined. They say it has improved their on-the-job performance and invited you to attend. You didn’t think you really needed one, but being open-minded, you decide...

The Major Love Story and Bearing his Fruit Mark 22:27-28 Then Jesus said to them, “The Sabbath was made to meet the needs of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord, even over the Sabbath!” We often make a great deal about the law...

James, Chapter 2. Saving Faith or a Disgrace? The book of James reminds me of that famous scene in Jerry Maguire where Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding's characters are passionately yelling, "Show me the money!" To boot, Cuba accompanies it with a soulful dance. Gotta love a man that knows how...

When Laughter becomes Horrific Have you ever had an attack of the giggles at the most inappropriate time? I have. Seems like it is something that runs in my family. Can feel so awful when it happens because it just seems so wrong. Like the time I was a bridesmaid and the maid of...

The Invisible Woman Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets...

First, i apologize for not quoting scripture on this one right now as it contains quite a bit in regards to our journeys, and i took it from a very recent post on morality, but you can find a good deal of this in the book of Romans, Galatians, and Genesis. In some ways it may be better to just...

This Year, Leave Diet Behind and Live! For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law...
