Theology Thursday: Attending a Local Church
If you know Jesus and you are not involved in a local congregation then I can say with full confidence that this is one area of your life that you should change. -
Theology Thursday: Living For Something Bigger
So I have to ask myself, why can my wife, my children, my family, my job, and my days change my life completely when anything out of the ordinary happens, but I want my GOD to just be there and let me live a normal life without too much interference from Him? -
What Ezekyal Taught Me About Prayer
What a profound thought, right? If you say you are going to pray for someone that you actually do it -
Fighting The Wrong Battle
Let's stop pouring our lives into the battles that mean absolutely nothing and turn to the GOD who saved us. Let's please stop teaching our children that the school, the baseball field, the office, or the football stadium is more important than the ground at the foot of the cross. Let's figure out how to spend more time there and less time on things that don't matter. -
Convincing Ourselves That Prayer Is Powerful
1. You cannot have a strong and spiritually growing church without focused and consistent corporate prayer.
2. You cannot be growing in your relationship with Jesus without prayer being a big part of your life.
3. There are a lot of Christians who attend churches with an almost nonexistent emphasis on prayer and who live their lives spending shockingly little time in prayer.

Theology Thursday: Creation
My challenge for myself and anyone else reading this is simple...Take the time to feel small. Take the time to purposefully take in GOD's creation even if it is as simple as standing on your front porch and looking to the sky. It is so easy for us to be the center of our own universe, but that quickly goes away when you realize just how small we are and just how great GOD is. This realization should drive us to our knees in worship to our Great GOD. -
Theology Thursday: Unity in Christ
GOD needs unity that comes from fellowship...See the Trinity. For us to think that we do not need that same type of unity with Christ and other believers is not only ignorant but it is also arrogant and unBiblical, and those are 3 traits that I do not want to have. -
The Prosperity (not) Gospel
There is a big problem with the prosperity gospel (there are many but I digress) that makes it untenable for followers of Christ. The problem...It is not true. -
GOD's Greatness
GOD does not need you. GOD certainly does not need me. In fact, we definitely get in His way more often than not, and it takes way longer to complete a task with us bumbling around when GOD could be finished in no time. That is a hard fact to digest and it is a humbling viewpoint of who we are in light of who GOD is.
There is only one explanation that makes this humbling fact one of the best things in the world. In GOD's greatness and infinite character, He desires a relationship with each one of us...He wants us. He wants me, He wants you.

Music and Theology
The really difficult thing about Theology is, to truly understand it, you have to have more than an academic and knowledge-based grasp of every theological subject. It is not enough to know the technical definition of the word "holy" or "grace." It is also not enough to be in an emotional wonderland where nothing has any concrete meaning...because it all does.
