    Why churches should stop paying hush money

    Oftentimes, the point leaders take the fall for the suppression when it becomes publicly known. However, boards are just as much to blame when they use “truth suppression” for the “good” of the Gospel.

    Eugene Peterson, The Message Bible and homosexuality

    I admire much of Eugene Peterson’s life, work and ministry. But I must be a voice that says, “The Bible does not approve of people practicing homosexuality in their lives.” It is possible to love people and not accept their behavior. God does it with me every day.

  • Is almost true good enough for the Gospel?

    Is almost true good enough for the Gospel?

    Nowhere in the Bible does it say God is energy. The Bible says in Genesis 1:1 that God created everything, including energy.

    The aftermath of COVID on a church community

    If there is one thing COVID has taught me, it is this, “Uncertainty may not be your friend, but it is your companion in this season.”

  • Keep facing the unrepentant

    Keep facing the unrepentant

    All of us at some point in our lives will have a friend, a love one, or someone else in our life that refuses to repent.

  • Does God speak to you?

    Does God speak to you?

    Someone once said, “it is normal to say, ‘I talk to God.’ But when you say, ‘God talks to me.’ That’s when everyone thinks you are crazy!”

  • Courageous intercession for the unrepentant

    Courageous intercession for the unrepentant

    God want us to be heartbroken over the sin of others in our lives who claim His name but refuse to repent.  He calls us to intercede on their behalf. He calls us to stand in the gap and do for them what they are not even willing to do for themselves.
