Get a Life

Today’s guest post comes to us courtesy of Timothy Tremblay. Christianity is a lifestyle of self-denial and discipline: one of total surrender and obedience to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Some view this as a constraining, boring, and old fashioned way of life. But we only have one life to live. We can seek to [...]

The Witness

Today’s guest article comes to us courtesy of Tim Tremblay. How do you “be” a Christian? What makes a person a Christian? Is it a personal decision or a personal experience? Are there different types? Many people have asked these questions. Think of what it means to be a witness in a court room. You [...]

The Missing Piece

Today’s article comes to us courtesy of Robert Savary III. How many times have you found yourself in this particular quandary? You’ve purchased gifts for your children or someone you love.

Stay Inside the Fence

Today’s guest post comes to us courtesy of Rev. Edward Ford. Growing up with my family, I lived on a military base. My father served in the Air Force for 20 years. The fun part about growing up on a military base was that there were tons of families. Tons of families meant that there [...]

Ten Million Thanks

Today’s Thanksgiving guest article comes to us courtesy of Bishop John Hanson. One of the purest holidays of the year is upon us. Thanksgiving remains unique in that it may be one of the least exploited of the major holidays Americans celebrate – don’t tell the retailers. What a blessing it is for those of [...]

Ordinary Days

Today’s guest article comes to us courtesy of Michael I. Thompson. Ordinary days will come. No matter how much we might pray for them to go away or wish that there was a “next button” to skip to the next church service, it won’t happen. Often I have found myself discouraged by these seemingly monotonous, [...]

Guest Article: Hollywood Cheats

Who should we trust in planning our lives? Maybe your opinion will change if you look closer—as this guest article from Bishop John Hanson from Acts II Ministries reminds us. Deep in the tropical forest a jeep loaded with a half dozen cartel desperados is careening cross-country in pursuit of a lone, beleaguered lawman. As [...]

Another Look

This guest article comes to us from Nathaniel Hardt as part of our “Month of Guest Articles” for September 2009. One look at Jesus will never suffice. Mark is the only gospel writer to record the healing of the blind man of Bethsaida (8:22-26).  It occurs between two events in which the disciples were encouraged [...]
