How should Bible-believing Christians deal with the Chris Rock controversy? Here are my thoughts.

One of the hardest things to do as a Christian is to feel comfortable asking questions in front of other Christians. We’re scared to death other believers might think less of us for asking a really stupid question no one else struggles with. So, we keep our Qs to ourselves.

There are times when ministry programs are extremely fruitful for the church. There are other times when their usefulness is well past expired. Your spiritual well-being as an individual believer on the other hand is always worth time, energy, and resources. Let's not substitute the latter for the former. 

It may be time to reanalyze what the focus of your relationship with Christ is all about. It also may be time to reconsider what your church's vision is; even if there is one.

People are #deconstruct -ing all over the place from #christianity. Can deconstructing be a positive journey? How should the church respond?

Barna Group research suggests the main reason why the masses aren't coming to church stems from the lack of vocation-based preaching and programs available. The people seek life skills, job fairs, and work-focused seminars. Should the church lead the way with programs to deliver the goods? Or is there a better way to be the church that will bring back the fold? #christianity #church #jesus #discipleship

Your conscience is made right with Christ through obedience to His specific call on your life. Therefore, not every Christian’s response to the Lord will manifest the same way. God may call one person or family to stay amidst war while another to flee and serve elsewhere. Let’s not bind every believer’s conscience to the same deed but rather let us call each other to obedience to our one Lord.

Biden administration is very nice, kind, and unifying. But abortions are getting federal funds. What do we do?
