« Previous EntriesChristianity in America: We Still Have it Pretty Good
Friday, May 30th, 2008Christianity in America sometimes comes across as one big fight. This group criticizes Christians; Christians fight back. It’s a never-ending cycle that may leave some Christians thinking we’re doomed, while others claim they’re not going down without a fight. So fighting continues, in the courts, in protests, in debates. It gets pretty ugly sometimes, and [...]

God on the Mountain - Lynda Randle
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008The church Marc and I had been going to played very contemporary music in it’s sermons. If you heard it on KLove, we probably sung it in our church. The music was one of the things we thought we liked about the place. But the churches we’ve gone to lately tend to play more of [...]
Biblical Ruth: True friendship, and doing the right thing
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008Recently I was talking to a friend of mine about questions we have from the Bible. She said that when she gets to heaven she’s going to ask, “Is Orpah here?”
I asked, “Who?”
She said “The woman from the book of Ruth. Naomi’s other daughter-in-law.”
Ruth has been one of my favorite books of the Bible for [...]
Because You Demanded It
Monday, May 26th, 2008In this very special blog post, we will reveal everything: every dirty little secret, every lie, every deception, and the betrayals that really torque us off. We never thought it would happen to us, or that it would eventually come to this.
We are simple people pushed to the edge. We thought we could handle anything, [...]
Steven Curtis Chapman’s Daughter, Maria, Died Wednesday
Friday, May 23rd, 2008
Sometimes I find myself rushing my kids along so I can have time to get things done. Then I remember the Steven Curtis Chapman interview (above) and I try to remember I only get so much time with my boys. I want to treasure it more while I’m living it.
The past few months I have [...]

He did what was right, but…
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008If you’ve ever read through 1 and 2 Kings, a really common theme shows itself: either the rulers did what was right, did evil, or did what was right with a “however” attached. When Julie and I had read it together, we had high hopes and they were shattered every time we read, “He did [...]
Nacho Typical Talent Show
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008This last Sunday morning, for services we went to the same church we were at the week before, Faith Bible Church. I think we’ll try out going to the same church at least twice before making a judgment because they may have had a bad day (or a particularly good day) on our first visit. [...]
Sermon Given to 5000 Youth
Monday, May 19th, 2008Marc stumbled across this sermon last week. It was given at a Youth Evangelism Conference in 2002 to a group of 5000. The pastor wanted to give an honest, powerful message. According to Godtube.com, he was never asked back. However, the sermon must’ve spoken to someone. It’s been posted to Godtube.com and favorited, as of [...]
