Why You Should Celebrate Christ With Your Pagan Christmas Tree

December 22, 2014 by JP Leave a Comment

It’s almost Christmas, which means it’s time for the question that keeps thousands of Nativities lighted each year and as many cookies and cups of milk by the fire. “Is Christmas pagan?” Halloween has received a steady siege from Christians over its dubious origins for quite some time. For years I’ve responded to claims that […]

The Negative Thoughts in Your Head Are Not YOU

December 18, 2014 by JP 2 Comments

One of the biggest mistakes people make is thinking the negative thoughts in their head are from them. They’re not. Not by a long shot. — A long time ago, back in the distant past, long before kings and princes, the dark night of the soul or the enlightenment — an apple was presented to a beautiful woman. A tempting offer of prestige […]

Pastors, Please Tell the Church About Divorce

December 15, 2014 by JP 9 Comments

Dear Pastors and Church Leaders, I’d like to tell you a conversation my wife had recently with a pastor. The pastor asked my wife when they bumped into each other in passing, “How are your parents doing?” “Well, you know, they’re going through a divorce.” “Oh, yeah, yeah I know,” the reply shot back. “But is everything […]

Why I Lead the Worship Music You Hate, and Why I’m Going to Keep Leading It

December 9, 2014 by JP 7 Comments

Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.”  -Revelation 19.6 I lead the worship music you hate. I’m the one. If you’re one of the many bloggers who’ve jumped on the recent trend of […]

Do You Have One Night Stands With God?

December 3, 2014 by JP Leave a Comment

Everyone from the lowliest of social outcasts to the highest of socialites has to work on relationship issues, from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to Beyonce and Jay-zee. From Brad Pit and Angelina Jolie to Gisele and Tom Brady. Even a deity. That’s right, God is constantly in a state of wooing and improving the quality of […]

Is Revival Coming to America?

December 1, 2014 by JP Leave a Comment

Sometimes God moves and all you can do is watch in awe as he lights his people on fire with the Holy Spirit. Sometimes it feels like you’re staring at dry matches, and it seems he isn’t doing anything, at all. Like he’s lurking in the shadows of a reputation he built over the ages […]

You Should Be Thankful For What You Don’t Have, America

November 27, 2014 by JP Leave a Comment

(photo cred) Scroll through your social media rolodexes and I guarantee you will find a friend thankful that the grand jury got it right. Celebrating the defense of justice so good guys can sleep soundly under the blanket of freedom without fear of criminals. Peek through the shades of an African American household on Thanksgiving, […]

Why Now is the Best Time to Be a Reverse Racist

November 24, 2014 by JP Leave a Comment

America may well turn upside down in the wake of the announcement that Officer Wilson will not be indicted by a grand jury for the death of Michael Brown. And a lot of people feel powerless. It’s time for a radical choice, one in which you can make a difference. It isn’t found on a […]

Are We Really Going to Be Raptured?

November 22, 2014 by JP Leave a Comment

You need to go ahead and watch Left Behind with Nicholas Cage when it comes out on RedBox. Please. Do it for you. I insist. Call up the neighborhood kids to stuff crackers in the baby, pre-order a copy from your iPhone, and head over to a friend’s for a double-date to see this godly […]

When God Doesn’t Heal You, But Smacks You in the Face, Instead

November 18, 2014 by JP 1 Comment

Some people don’t believe God does miracles. I can empathize with them. It’s a lot easier to believe in a God who never does anything than one who heals, rescues, delivers, and saves, because it’s easier to defend this God when he upholds his end of the bargain and, in fact, does nothing at all. This […]
