Read a review on it here. Permalink -- click for full blog post "Don Piper - 90 Minutes in Heaven Review" Love Each OtherSometimes Christians, myself included, get caught up in judging each other. They look at the sin that someone else is engaging in and pass judgment. I'm going to challenge you to avoid this temptation. Paul said in the Bible that he doesn't even know his own heart sometimes. How can he even begin to know someone else's heart? Many times, our constant judging and "looking down our nose" at others leads to animosity and hatred towards Christianity. If you'll just take the time to love on people, regardless of what they are doing, you are much more likely to open up doors. After all, isn't that what Jesus did? He's the guy that went to Zacheus' house even though everyone else looked down on him. Try to be more like Christ and leave the judging up to God.

If you're also a Christian or if you're familiar with the Bible, you know about some of the things that are talked about in relation to the end times...earthquakes, wars, rumors of wars, famine, etc. So does this mean that we are living in the end times? The truth is...no one knows. Not Harold Camping, not me and not you. Yes, it seems bad out there, but every generation since Jesus ascended to Heaven has said the same thing. People in the 1800's could have swore that things were so bad, Jesus was surely about to come back. People today say the same thing. I'm not saying that we are a long way away from the rapture and the end times. All I'm saying is, there is no way that anyone can know, except God. If you have no chance of knowing, what is the point of sitting around worrying about it or looking for signs of it happening? There is none. Instead of exerting even a single ounce of energy worrying about these things (which is a sin by the way) why not spend your time trying to live your life and win souls to Christ? If you die...so what? When you give your life to Christ, you know what's coming next. Try to live your life in regards to what will happen after you die. I'm not trying to preach here, because I'm just as guilty of this as anyone. I just know that I struggle with these issues myself and I assume other Christians do as well. So tonight, instead of worrying about whether we're living in the end times, spend some time thinking about the awesome moments that God has given you in the "present times" taking place right now. Tell God thank you and make an effort to do everything you do to the glory of God. The rest will take care of itself.

Permalink -- click for full blog post "Advertise With The Modern Christian" If I Have Not Love...Love is one of the most important factors of our walk with Christ. Many Christians get so caught up in judging everyone that they forget to love them. Jesus wasn't afraid to point out sin in others, but he also wasn't afraid to love the sinners. It doesn't matter if you're friends with a sinner. Your love towards that person could be enough to change his life and get him to see how much Jesus loves him too. Try to focus on loving others when you're out there living life this week. Blessings From GodHey everyone...I just wanted to take a second to remind everyone to thank God for the many blessings he has given you today. Even when you might think that everything pretty much sucks, I'm sure you can find something to be grateful for. I've got good and bad in my life at the moment. If I chose to dwell on all of the crappy stuff that I have to deal with on a daily basis, I'm pretty sure I would be pretty miserable and would just attract even more problems to myself. Instead, I'm going to make an effort to think about the amazing things God has blessed me with (like my 3rd child this weekend). God likes it when we're grateful and I'm going to choose to look for the good in life. You can be one of those people who are addicted to the 24 hours news cycle of doom and despair or you can step outside, look at the unbelievably beautiful world that God created and just say "Thank You."

My Favorite Radio StationIf you're looking for an awesome Christian radio station to check out Air 1. They have stations literally all over the country and if you don't live near one, you can listen online also. They play a good mix of Christian music with a lot of it being of the alternative rock genre. If you like Skillet, Switchfoot, Red, Thousand Foot Krutch, TobyMac or Flyleaf, you'll probably enjoy the station. |
