God wants us to take care of our temples so that we can be his hands and feet, but this crosses the line. You may see nonsense like this. Normally I would skip over stuff I don’t agree with, but this time I could not. When a church leader is promoting this kind of self-centeredContinue reading “Self Care What?”

Pray Like Crazy
You may have heard this expression before and I guess it means pray a lot. Do we? Do I? I have to admit, I fall short. I want God to be my best friend, but things sometimes get in the way. Even sometimes I’m too busy doing God’s work. Sometimes we feel like we don’tContinue reading “Pray Like Crazy”
You Are Probably Talking to Someone who Has Been Abused
It may be you. There are some things that we don’t talk about in the church, yet it affects the church a lot. In the United States, 1 in 5 women have experienced rape or attempted rape. A third of the women experienced it between the ages of 11 to 17. Source Men also haveContinue reading “You Are Probably Talking to Someone who Has Been Abused”
Witchcraft Influences on the Church
In every battle, commanders send out spies to check out what they are up against and/or to take action on behalf of the attacking forces. We have that going on in the church too. New Age pastors have infiltrated the church, and they are on Christian TV, in Christian magazines, and even have books onContinue reading “Witchcraft Influences on the Church”

Problem With the Prosperity Gospel
The prosperity gospel has a strong grip on the church. An overabundance of prosperity gospel preachers contribute to it, along with people’s desire to be in a better situation financially. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.” JesusContinue reading “Problem With the Prosperity Gospel”
The Love Chapter
First Corinthians 13 is known as the love chapter. You often hear it read during weddings. If you do a superficial read of the chapter, you can apply it to weddings, but this chapter is much deeper than that. In first John 4 verse 16 we read that God is love. Since God is love,Continue reading “The Love Chapter”
My Review of My Visit to Ark Encounter
The Ark Encounter in Williamstown Kentucky is worth going out of your way for. It’s an all day affair to go to the ark and you can even spend multiple days there. My friends and I spent a whole day there and we did not see it all. There are so many activities. I’ll shareContinue reading “My Review of My Visit to Ark Encounter”
Transubstantiation is Hogwash
Roman Catholics say that the bread and the wine become the literal body and blood of Christ. This is called transubstantiation and it is hogwash. There’s no magic that happens when the wafer is blessed by a priest. If there were, magic is not of God, so there’s a problem. Then Jesus said to them,Continue reading “Transubstantiation is Hogwash”
One Race, One Blood
I recently visited the Creation Museum in Kentucky and it had an interesting display about race. The museum founder, Ken Ham, says that we are all one race and of one blood genetically. Some people have more pigment in their skin, causing them to look darker, but we are all related. I’ve been to AfricaContinue reading “One Race, One Blood”
