How I got free from porn addiction

Don’t give up the fight Lately, my heart has really gone out to all the men in this world struggling with pornography that honestly believes that they can’t be free. They’ve dealt with it for so many years, they’ve fought so hard and failed themselves so many times that they have finally accepted that it’s […]

10 ways politics are blinding believers of Jesus

10 ways politics are blinding followers of Jesus One thing that I don’t like about politics is how easy it is to accidentally get caught up in party loyalty instead of Christ-loyalty. If you’re not extremely careful you’ll end up identifying with, and even touting, anti-Christ platforms and ideals in the name of politics. When […]

Would you pray that their faith won’t fail?

We are so quick to cut off anyone that disagrees with us. Political parties, racism, and theological difference are tearing our nation apart. When someone starts promoting ideals that we disagree with our knee-jerk reaction is to cut them off and hope that everyone else cuts them off. We secretly hope they lose their influence, […]

YOU can do outreach!

So last night my friends and I watched the movie “Holy Ghost: Reborn” that just came out. It was excellent! But it was interesting to me that people are making documentaries that are extremely successful over things that my friends and I do every week. I didn’t see one thing happen in that movie that we […]

I’m not telling you how to live…

Dear Christians, Have you ever listened to a sermon from a preacher who is an experienced and eloquent orator, yet their passion for God is just a memory from their youth? Or a praise and worship leader who has an amazing voice, yet only half-heartedly lives for the Lord? I’d much rather listen to an […]

What’s Really Important

There was a middle-aged gentleman that recently moved into our apartment complex. We’d see him walking his dog and we felt like we should invite him over for dinner. We didn’t really know why other than he always seemed alone and we assumed the holidays might be difficult for him. Last night was the only […]

Is God mean? Understanding God’s actions in the Old Testament

It makes me sad when I see such a misunderstanding of God in the Old Testament. I often see people comparing God in the Old Testament to Jesus in the New Testament as though God was this mean and abusive jerk whom Jesus had to step in to try to calm down. They compare and […]

Me Too (I Will)

#IWill We live in a society that celebrates the objectification of women (and men). No one would say that, but actions speak louder than words. For instance, we celebrate pornography, and not just secretly behind closed doors anymore, but brazenly and out in the open. Movies, books, and magazines have brought media like 50 Shades […]

What to do when the world seems dark

It seems like every time I log onto social media I’m reminded of all the hate and division happening in the world right now. Every day I see Republicans rant and rave against democrats, or “anti-Trumpers” bashing “pro-Trumpers”, or pro-women’s rights activists hurling hateful insults at pro-life groups (or vice-versa for all the above). There […]

Jesus vs. Racism – Love wins!

It struck me that on the same day that national attention was being drawn to a hate filled racist white supremacists rally in Charleston, that Jesus was uniting hearts and spreading love among all races here in Tulsa, OK. It served as a much needed and powerful reminder to me that although hatred and racism […]
