The following are not my words, but I hold to the same opinions. This is something that churches across the country need to hear. Regardless of what you're comfortable with, the Bible cannot be changed. "Have you ever had it happen that when you rebuked an abuser, not only did she refuse to...

I'm not gonna be debating God and his role in the evil of this world or whatever. What I am going to say is something that needs to be said. We've had yet another school shooting this morning in Texas. We've had yet another wicked, truly evil person walk in freely and murder eight students. If...

Say what you will. You may agree with me, you may not. But these are things that Christians need to stop saying. It doesn't matter whether it's your heart or not, to put people down with these words. It doesn't matter how genuine you are. It doesn't matter how you are wanting it to come across...

I’m a Christian, but I feel as if I’m doing everything wrong. I was raised in a Christian family and have been a Christian for six years. But I’m pretty much convinced that the only difference between believers and non-believers is that we go to heaven when we die. In the end, all faith is is...

I am not embarrassed to call myself a Christian because I'm ashamed of Christ. I'm embarrassed to call myself a Christian because I supposedly have the same faith as the people who insist that we be doormats. Given the recent mass shootings we've been dealing with in the last few years, we as...

I was thinking and I kind of had a revelation. I think another reason why things like abuse and rape make me so angry, other than concern the people it happens to, is because I feel like I would lose my faith if that happened to me. I often feel guilty for all the blessings I have, knowing...

I don't even know where to begin, but I need to say this. There is a huge moral and ethical scandal going on in American churches, and that involves sex abuse. And it's been going on for FAR too long. To everyone reading this post, this needs to be said right now, to everyone. I don't care what...

This is just something that's been really bothering me lately regarding a so-called "gift of singleness." I understand that there a plenty of people who are happy being single, but a great many more are not. They would like to be married (including myself) yet most churches are doing little to...

The following words are not my own, but I believe they express what's been nagging at me lately. Christians tend to believe we have to automatically forgive people, whether or not they genuinely repent. And we wonder why abuse is so widespread, even in our churches. "God forgives everybody who...

I know I'm probably going to say some controversial things, but I don't care about being controversial, I care about being reasonable. I keep seeing articles like "Why a Muslim registry is wrong" and about Christians saying we need to gladly welcome Syrian refugees. I don't necessarily agree...

I don't know if anyone's out there, but I haven't been able to sleep. I heard about this scary movie, and even though I don't watch horror movies cause I scare easily, my stupid curiosity led me to at least check out the ending. Now I can't sleep, and because I think in pictures, it's been...
