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?
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
(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
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?
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
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 […]
The Lie of God’s Perfect Will
Life is full of choices. At some point you have to make them. The least you can do is be honest about the choices you make. And when it comes to God, you only have two — you can choose to obey or choose to disobey. Nowhere in the middle. That is the choice.
The Narrow Gate Through a Cross
(Some of you do not know I also write for MyDaughtersFirstBible.com. The posts are lessons to my daughter as I read the whole Bible to her. This is the most recent one — shameless plug that you consider it for your future blogrolls.) But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to […]
Thanks for the PB&J’s Mom, Now Get a Real Job!
This weekend, President Obama made some startling statements about stay-at-home moms. And frankly, I’m pissed. Full disclosure here of why: I’m not a mom. I don’t stay at home. I have NO idea what I’m talking about. I mean, really, all I have in this is I’ve found after six long years that the president and I […]
How Bullying Can Save Your Marriage
Nobody likes a bully. Not in a casual fling. Not in a friendship. Not in a budding romantic relationship. Not in an illicit I-don’t-know-what-that-was-but-I-hope-it-never-happens-again-ship. And certainly not in a marriage. Unfortunately, bullying tactics are just so darn effective. Psychologically, they work at manipulating another person to push him or her down and get one’s own way. Of course, they’re also destructive and damaging […]
