Children According to God 3

The grind of parenting can be tough or overwhelming if you wait too long to understand the point of children.  After all, wouldn't it be good to know that there is another way to raise your children other than the Disney world mentality of the day?  Most parents think their job is to give their children a good life according to their children.  You don't have to look far to see parents with SUVs loaded with sports schedules going from one child's game to another after a full day's work only to end up in bed after 10pm.  Is this what God had in mind when He said multiply and be fruitful?  

Children According to God 2

This is the continuation of examining the scriptures to see what God has to say about the human being He creates through us.  Is raising children hard?  It depends on who you ask.  Does raising children have to be hard?  No, if you ask God!  Within the framework of God's word there is a prescription for every child rearing scenario.  You don't have embarrassed or unpleasantly surprised while raising your child today.  

Children According to God 1

Baby conceives.  Baby is born.  Baby goes home.  Then what?  Where's the manual that details how to raise this human being?  Do I sing to it?  Should I turn on music for crying?  What do I do about the whining?  UH OH, HERE COME THE TANTRUMS!!!  Did you know that the bible gives us everything we need to understand in order to raise children with a purpose rather than miserably fly by the seat of your pants like the majority of people with children these days?  Listen to all four episodes to fully understand what God has to say.  

Roman Sinner Remix

It's not hard to look around and see people who have made mistakes and continue to make mistakes.  While no human is perfect, what does God actually expect from those who claim to know Him?  Do we have to be perfect?  It seems to me that if you attend church enough or spend time with enough Christians that you will be smothered with the phrase "WE ARE ALL SINNERS."  Is this true?  Is there a way to be perfect in the eyes of God or are we all sinners no matter what?  What does the bible say?

Now Featuring Homochristality

Our imagination can get the best of us if we are not careful.  We can see new creatures in the dark or create scenarios in our heads when we hear certain sounds.  The noise in the kitchen is not a racoon, but the icemaker instead!  And then there are people who try to make make real what is ficiton, fake, and false.  We all know santa claus, the boogie man, and big foot don't exist.  What about gay Christians?  Is there such a thing as this or is this also something according to the imagination of a growing status quo?

Sin’s Laundry List

Ever heard of a chain reaction?  Are you aware of all the things it takes to make one simple transaction occur?  For example, what are the steps involved that allows someone to raise their hand?  If we were to list out everything from the things we can see to the things that take place inside the body to make this happen, we could probably write a few pages worth of steps.  The legal justice system gives us a glimpse of all that can be taken into account when someone is convicted.  In light of this truth, what does our sin look like before God when we unpack it all?  

I Decide Suicide

There are many things that can impact whether a person wants to keep on living or pull the plug on life.  Looking at someone who is successful on the outside it is incomprehensible as to why a person would want to end their life.  It is so true that we cannot really understand a person until we walk a mile in that person's shoes.  If you are a parent, a church member, or have people you love and care about here are some things you can do if someone close to you decides that suicide is the way for them.  Furthermore, what does the bible have to say about living and dying?

Friend Foe Fusion

We have all experienced making friends and having great friendships.  But unfortunately there have also been times when we have been surprised by so called "friends."  What makes someone a friend?  Is it a sin to be friends with people who don't follow Jesus?  Are there any benefits to making friends with the right people?  What are the pitfalls to hooking up with the wrong people?  

Most. Some. None.

Remember the bell curve?  It was a visual to highlight the majority and outliers on both sides.  Who tells who what to wear?  What person is the official spokesman for success?  Who tells who what to do with our lives ultimately?  What controls how the majority of people go about things?  Here is a bible verse that gives insight as to the two roads that are taken in the eyes of God Himself.  Listen to what most people do, some people do, and no one does.  Decide for yourself what you will do.  

Trouble in Acirema

Everyone remembers putting on shoes backwards.  You can tell instantly that something is wrong.  What would happen if you tried to go about life with your shoes on backwards?  It would be a matter of time before the pains of your shoes shut you down or you fall flat on your face.  Am I the only one who sees that America has it's shoes on backwards?  We will continue to fall as a nation because today right is wrong and wrong is right.  Listen to one way America is turning into Acirema.
