The Skeptical Believer Can the word ‘Christian’ be saved?

If you like this article, check out my blog at The Skeptical Believer!

In my last post I talked about how God is into redeeming rather than destroying. Whether it’s a life or a situation, He is a master at weaving the black threads of life into a larger tapestry of grace and goodness.

But what about the word ‘Christian’—is that someth… Continue

The Skeptical Believer Further thoughts from a ‘Needs Improvement’ Christian trying to be better.

If you liked this article, check out my blog at The Skeptical Believer.

The weekend of my wedding—it must have been at our rehearsal dinner—one of my family members on my father’s side made an odd suggestion. He said that I should drop our family name and take my wife’s surname instead.

This wasn’t because he disliked me and thought I wasn’t worthy of carrying the name. Rather, it was the opposite: he thought our family name wasn’… Continue

sharen love Freedom From Hate

“Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins” (Proverbs 10:12) According to Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary hate is intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury. We can all be driven to hate if we are put under enough stress and our buttons are adequately pushed. What triggers bring out the hatred in you? How do you feel when you work hard and pay a high price with high interest rate for a mobile home built with cheap particle board that disinte… Continue

Denise Who Are You?

“Then who are you? Tell us, so we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you have to say about yourself?” John 1: 22
In John 1:22 the temple assistants are asking John a question, “who are you?” These three little words arranged together can often cause a great debate within ourselves. When posed with this question many of us would answer with I’m a so and sos wife, mother, daughter, sister. Or perhaps we’d identify o

Joseph Beggs A.S.A.P. Ever thought about what it means?

Ever wonder about the abbreviation A.S.A.P.? Generally we think of it in terms of even more hurry and stress in our lives. Maybe if we think of this abbreviation in a different manner, we will begin to find a new way to deal with those rough days along the way. ************* The… Continue

AIL What do you boast about?

Jeremiah 9:23-24. This is what the Lord says: "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this:
that he understands and know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on the earth, for in these I delight," declares the Lord.
As people of God, we make not our boast on human wisdom that fai

AIL Whoever disown me...

Romans 1:16. I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jews, then for the gentile.

Matthew 10:32-33. Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will also disown him before my father in heaven.

We now live in a society, with people in and outside the church, that want to make silent the truth of God's word. Radiculin… Continue

The Skeptical Believer REVIEW: When Bad Christians Happen To Good People

If you like this review, check out my blog at The Skeptical Believer.

They say that every writer (or aspiring writer!) has a book out there that they
wish they had written. A book that captures the essence of their
passions and is a near-perfect example of why they got into writing in
the first place…the only difference being that this book explains
concepts better, tells w… Continue

Randy Bell What Will Your Day Be Like In God's Court?

Malachi 2:17 The Message

17 You make GOD tired with all your talk. "How do we tire him out?" you ask. By saying, "GOD loves sinners and sin alike. GOD loves all." And also by saying, "Judgment? God's too nice to judge ."
I was born in the U.S.A. and without my consent or opinion became a citizen at birth and subject to all the laws of the nation. If I decide I do not believe in the speeding laws I can break them

Joe La Bianca Made Holy

Made Holy by Joe La Bianca Hebrews 2:11-13 Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers. He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers; in the presence of the congregation I will sing your praises.” And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again he says, “Here am I, and the children God has given me.” Now that Jesus has made us believers holy, we are the same as He is. It is no longer a holy God and si… Continue
