Christianity is religion about Jesus. It uses the Bible and it’s centered around Jesus. Jesus followers use the Bible and they talk about Jesus. So what’s the difference between the two? Religion is about doing things: singing songs, giving money, taking communion. Jesus followers do all that, but there’s more. Jesus followers listen to theContinue reading “The difference between Christian and Jesus follower”

Will I win?
What would you do if you won the lottery? I can’t win because I don’t buy tickets. I don’t put my hope in money. I put my hope in God. It seems the more money a person has, the more miserable they are. In the outside they seem happy, but inside they struggle with relationshipsContinue reading “Will I win?”
Seeing but blind
People can be so blind. They can see something right in front of them, but not see it. Roman historian Tacitus is an example of this. He despised the Jewish people and called them adjectives I won’t repeat in this post, but his record of the 70 AD destruction of the temple in Jerusalem contained somethingContinue reading “Seeing but blind”
I hope everyone knows this already
What is your mission? In the garden of Eden, the serpent came to Eve and tempted her, and she ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Then she shared it with her husband, Adam. It was at that point sin entered the world. From one man’s sin , we wereContinue reading “I hope everyone knows this already”
Who would be that nice?
What is the greatest gift someone could give you? In this world, people want things, but don’t need them. There are things we need like food, water, air, clothing, shelter, and sleep.

The throne
What are your biggest challenges? Either Jesus is king in the throne of my life, or I am. That’s the huge struggle many Christians toss in the towel and just let self sit on the throne. My resolution is not to do that. The old man makes bad decisions. The old man isn’t loving orContinue reading “The throne”
Life
What makes you feel nostalgic? Life happens. Much of it is wonderful and good, but parts are bad. This “new normal” makes me want to go back to former days. Remember, when hugs were normal? Going to the market makes me wish for former days. 50 years ago when I went to the market withContinue reading “Life”
The man
Describe a man who has positively impacted your life. The man who is positively impacted my life, wasn’t just a man. He was more than a man. He was the savior of the world and the creator of the world. No one is too far gone for Jesus. One can always reach out to him.Continue reading “The man”
Is Christmas pagan?
What are the real roots of Christmas? I heard a great sermon by a Calvary Chapel pastor (Robert Furrow), and I thought I would share my takeaways. Most people celebrate a commercialized version of Christmas with excessive partying and movies that have nothing to do with the real Christmas story. Everyone knows the fake oneContinue reading “Is Christmas pagan?”
Change is hard
What is one thing you would change about yourself? Ever met a woman who didn’t want to change something about herself? I haven’t. I’m not good at changing things. I start out good, but it usually doesn’t last long. The only thing I really changed cold turkey was being vegan. After reading the engine toContinue reading “Change is hard”
