Nothing's too hard for God: Wk.8: Day 7: Forgiven

Forgiven 1 John 1:9 Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind but now I see. If you’ve been a Christian for any time at all, these words are quite familiar to you. In fact, the tune as well as the lyrics of Amazing Grace are known by many who’ve never darkened the door of a church or bowed their head in prayer. Penned by John Newton in 1779, this great hymn of the church has stood the test of time. Indeed, it’s estimated that the song has been recorded professionally nearly 2,000 times. The popularity of Amazing Grace can in large part be attributed to its powerful lyrics. Verse by verse, it describes in beautiful terms the incredible grace of God that delivers the repentant heart from sin and implants within that individual the hope of eternal life. Sadly, however, many who sing this song struggle to apply its promise personally. They can’t imagine that God would actually grant them grace and forgive their si

The Supreme Court and the Christian

This letter is being sent out to our church regarding the decision this morning of the Supreme Court to affirm the rights of gay couples to marry and mandates that all states begin issuing licenses for marriage. Let me begin by stating that I am not supportive of same-sex marriage. My personal views on the imago dei and human sexuality are derived from a Biblical Theology and my belief is deeply connected to my view of the inerrancy of scripture. I will not perform same-sex ceremonies. That said, I am not surprised by the ruling, primarily because things have been drifting this way for many years. I was a member of the Christian Coalition and worked with Jim Garlow in 2008 to support marriage as being between a man and a woman. It is hard to imagine, but this issue has been fought in the public sector since before 2004, over a decade. I am certain that this is only one of many things that grieve the heart of our father. It will be of no surprise to you that I beli

Facebook'd": how to live a happy life in a social media world...

Social media is everywhere. But just because it is there, that does not mean that we have the wisdom to use it. There are many advantages to social media: worldwide connectivity, and most importantly, your daily dose of funny cat videos. But, is it a place to post what ever we want? Or is it our own private place to vent? How can we use it better to glorify God and to obey the Great Commandment to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. We can faithfully use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google+. The following questions should help discern your heart and make sure that your social media use is pleasing to God, which include a few points I adapted from Kevin Halloran's detailed blog on this topic. 1. Be mature: 1 Cor. 10:23 All things are permissible ,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. 1 Cor. 24. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. 1 Cor. 8:13, I don't want to cause anot
