A farmer doesn’t make plants grow. A farmer creates the conditions in which plants grow themselves. Leaders farm. Watch this.

My friend just emailed me this quote from Malcolm Muggeridge. One of the most effective defense systems against God’s incursions has hitherto been organized religion. Various churches have provided a refuge for fugitives from God—His voice drowned in the chanting, His smell lost in the incense, His purpose obscured and confused in creeds, dogmas, dissertations…in vast cathedrals, as in little conventicles…one could get away from [...]

Is it appropriate to joyfully celebrate Osama Bin Laden’s death? I’ll admit, I was filled with much joy when I found out that the coward, also known as Osama Bin Laden, received justice last night. I call him a coward because he declared war on America, brainwashed some boys to kill themselves on 9/11, ran [...]

In 2006, I took a break from ministry. I was disappointed, jaded, hurt, and confused by the church. As I closed my office door for the last time, I vowed never to have anything to do with her again. I was young and didn’t know better. I’m still young and don’t know any better. That [...]

Have you noticed that when you take a stand for your beliefs, you’re labeled as intolerant? They yell: ”There’s not absolute truth! What’s true for you is not true for me.” You’re absolute about no absolute? You’re intolerant of the intolerant? How different are you than what you claim me to be? Read about the relativists [...]

I know many Christians who seem to have never read this: Luke 3:8-9 (New Living Translation) Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God [...]
