Have You Heard About The Advent Conspiracy?
Dec 16th
If you haven’t heard about The Advent Conspiracy, then you must have your head in the sand. I’ve read about it here, here, here, here, and here. Heck, they’re even talking about it here and here. But they aren’t talking about it here this year.
So, what is all this buzz about the Advent Conspiracy anyway?
For [...]
A Tale of Two Lottery Winners
Dec 16th
It was the best of human nature. It was the worst of human nature. Almost everyone dreams of winning the lottery; a huge windfall that can transform your life overnight. But what happens after the “big win”?
For a couple in Canada, that windfall has created economic opportunity for their entire town. They are systematically and [...]
Review: The Unvarnished Gospels
Dec 14th
If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the Christian reader on your list, I highly recommend The Unvarnished Gospels, translated by Andy Gaus. I personally use this version of the gospels for daily reflection and a little “spiritual boost” every now and then.
What makes this book unique is that Andy does his best to [...]
3 Ways To Survive The Holidays
Nov 28th
The holidays can be tough for most everyone. It seems that the time for us to celebrate being with family and friends–the time to create “Peace on Earth”–is also the time of the year that creates the most stress. Why is this?
It seems that the stress comes from inside. We set up expectations for ourselves [...]
Do What’s In Front Of You
Nov 17th
One of the messages that keeps coming up for me these past few weeks is: “Do What’s In Front Of You.” So, I thought I’d share it with you.
What does that mean? Let’s say you’re feeling like things are working the way you want them to. You’re not getting the results you want from life. [...]
I’m Waiting For The Christian Take-Over of Christianity
Oct 27th
You’ve seen me write about this before. It can be so upsetting to understand Christianity, to get what Jesus was talking about, and then to see the Social Conservative Nazis in the United States claim to be basing their words and actions on Christianity.I received an email yesterday that got my entire day side tracked. [...]
Stop Thinking, Start Living
Oct 20th
Spiritual tools are great. I use them everyday. But the truth is that believing requires action, not thinking.
Sure, meditation is great. But service and action is better.
If you’re thinking about your life and how to change, here’s an idea. Don’t think about how to change your life, just start living the life you’re meant to [...]
Send me your stories about church, faith, and beyond
Sep 15th
I’m writing a book. Your story could be in it.
I’m looking for stories about your personal experience with “faith”, “church”, and “Jesus”. I’m especially interested in those stories where what you thought Jesus was saying was not what the church was telling you (either in words or actions).
For example, in terms of “prophecy about the [...]
10 Ways to Change Your Life Today
Sep 14th
What you think about, you become. What you think about, your life becomes. What you are exposed to, you think about.
So, if you aren’t the person you’d like to be, or if your life isn’t the life you want, then how do you go about changing it? The first step is to change what you [...]
Where’s the Christ?
Sep 4th
I was always fascinated growing up in a Christian church that very few people actually talked about Jesus (the Christ). As I heard pastors, ministers, teachers, preachers, missionaries, and priests talk about their faith, it seemed that the majority of the conversation revolved around a sort of code of social and personal conduct. If you [...]
