Judgement
So I need to admit something. There was a time in my life – not really all that long ago – where I thought it was okay to judge people for all different kinds of things. I thought it was not okay for illegal immigrants to cross the boarder. I thought it was not okayContinue reading “Judgement”
Why Doesn’t God Answer Prayers?
Why? Why doesn’t God answer prayers? Why didn’t God give you that promotion you deserved? Why did God let you get fired? Why did God let your relationship break apart? Why did God let him die?

God in a Box
Who is God? If we really thought long and hard about this seemingly simple question we would find that those 3 words have actually been the cause for much division and violence in this world.

The First Steps of Faith
A friend of yours finally convinces you to go to church. “I’ll go, but I’m not drinking the kool aid,” you joke to them. You get there and you are a little skeptical. This isn’t the first time you’ve tried to understand this whole Jesus thing, but what’s one more time going to hurt, right?Continue reading “The First Steps of Faith”

So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last. – Matthew 20:16 I would highly recommend going through and reading Matthew 20:1-16 before reading this because it will make a lot more since, but for those of you pressed on time, I will give you theContinue reading “Unfair Pay?”
