Part 2: A Biblical Response to Homosexuality (and every other sin)
In the public discourse homsexuality has generally either been vilified or glorified. It’s been vilified to the point where it is almost seen as the unforgivable sin, or an irreversible course.

Extreme “Christian” Views on Homosexuality: Part 1
Okay, I’m certain I’ll get a little hate mail on this one, but at least read through the whole thing before you jump to a conclusion one way or the other. This is a topic that is highly volatile and charged with emotion. There are some “Christians” (I put it in quotes because that [...]

A Review: Taking The Lid Off Your Church – Tony Morgan
Tony Morgan is one of my all-time favorite church leadership/health/growth gurus! He’s definitely solidified that standing with his latest book Taking the Lid off of Your Church, available on Kindle for a paltry $2.99.

Is God a Capitalist or a Socialist?
Allow me to first say, I am not going to tag God with any man-made labels. God supersedes them in every fashion of the word and is not limited by our limitations or understanding.

Ben & Jerry’s, Chik-fil-A, and Political Correctness
Since the first time I heard Perry Noble speak, I was a fan. Not like he was my hero or anything, but I just have completely appreciated his perspective on the church. He’s refreshing and challenging in the same breath, and he often says things I was thinking…but with much more flare! Perry wrote a [...]
