You Are Not Superior
When we read 1 Corinthians 12, we learn from the Apostle Paul that God, through the Holy Spirit, bestows gifts upon His people. Each and every gift He gives is to be used for “the common good” of the body of Christ (v. 7). Paul also makes it clear that before coming to Christ, each…

Repentance and Forgiveness in an Age of Digital Relationships
Two of the most important aspects of the Christian faith are repentance and forgiveness. They are the foundational elements of how one even becomes a Christian for it is through repentance (turning from sin) and faith (turning to Christ) that one is forgiven. There is no Christianity apart from these two elements. This is why…

Such Were Some of You
What is a Christian? A Christian is a person who was once a rebel sinner, at war with God through wicked works.

You Will Never Make Lamb Chops Out of Goat Meat
Sometimes, a comment or post comes across your screen and you can’t help but want to respond. This is the case for me now. While there is much floating around cyber-space that is nowhere close to biblical, this one really got my goat, so to speak. We see it everywhere (at least some of us…

The Danger of The Christian Social Media Star
We Christians can be an interesting lot. As much as we see ourselves as not being a part of this world, far too often we think, look, and act just like it. It wasn’t long ago that I made the strategic error of entering into a Twitter discussion between professing Christians. Wisdom should have taught…
