It is important to remember that the whole salavation message is about reconciliation to God through Jesus. Those who have been forgiven much understand the need for forgiveness in others. Our relationships with others is a good indicator of our relationship with Christ.

Toxicity In The Church

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2593259/fan_mail/new] Imagine if your church got a memo from Jesus saying He was there a week ago, two weeks ago, a month, maybe a year, and He closed with the saying He would be back at another unspecified time what do you think the meat of that memo would say? Would our Lord be met with excitement and reverence, or more panic and excuses than a hooker going to jail? Now that I have your attention, take a listen.

Reverse Engineered Repackaged Repurposed

Don’t repackage what God has already done.   Because… Isaiah 43:19 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Get Up, Pick Up, Walk!!

While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.” 8 Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” 9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. What would a John 5 experience look like for you?

Drinking, Gambling, Oh Dear!!!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2593259/fan_mail/new] Is it ok for a Christian to drink? What does the Bible say about going to a casino? These are two of many questions that are asked by both Christians and non Christians. While we all have strong opinions and valid reasons for those opinions.  However,  we all know the greatest enemy of opinion is fact.  Before I dig myself into a deeper hole, give this a listen and by the end you’ll  either grab a shovel, or….a bag of dirt.
