Why Radical Islam Is a Myth
"Many people, especially in the Western world, are trying to justify Islam by stating that the very name means "peace;"..."
  by Chris Fox
“No religion is responsible for terrorism. People are responsible for violence and terrorism.”
This quote by former President Barack Obama at the White House Summit on Countering Violent Extremism on February 18, 2015, is one of the explanations that he used to justify the fact that he refused to use the words “radical Islamic terrorists.” In that same speech he also stated, “They…

Let’s Both Forgive
"Someone very dear to me who had been my friend for years launched a brief but fierce attack my way..."
  a poem written by Dr. Jack Hyles
Someone very dear to me who had been my friend for years launched a brief but fierce attack my way. I could not believe he did it. When I realized he did, I could not believe he meant to do me harm. Through tears I wrote these words:
You did not mean to loose the bow That launched the arrow toward my breast; Nor did you plan to shake the limb That so disturbed my…

The Mystery of Romance
"The mystery of romance is the story of redemption, grace, and the church."
  by Jason Parham

“And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his…

A Time For Parenting
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.”
  by Steven Bostick
“…for the time is at hand.” – Revelation 22:10b
We live in a day and age in which time is rapidly moving. Many of us have said, “There is not enough time in the day,” or, “Where has the time gone?” or, “Time flies when you are having fun!” All of us, if we have not at least used one of these phrases, have heard them said. Time is one of those things that continues, sometimes…

I Have Seen Thy Tears
"...God’s mention of the anguished expression of voice and tears is not an isolated concept."
  by Jeff Farnham
“…I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears:…” – II Kings 20:5
A brief study of II Kings 20 will demonstrate that this chapter takes place during the reign of Sargon, the Assyrian who was king after Shalmaneser and before Sennacherib. Among the evidences of this order of events is that when Hezekiah became ill, Isaiah told Hezekiah in verse 6, “And I will add unto thy days…

Be Like Chocolate, Not Like Tofu!
"Do we flavor our own lives, or let others do it for us?"
  by Kayte McCoy
Are there any tofu lovers out there? We are not tofu eaters at our house. I have tried tofu a few times and if it is part of a good recipe, I actually do not mind it at all, but my husband is completely uninterested. So, to those who do love tofu, I want to be clear that I have nothing against tofu as a food. However, I do not want to BE tofu.
Tofu can be scrumptious or…

A Good Thing
"In order to be a good thing..., we must STAY a good thing."
  by Tracie S. Burns
Everyone has heard of the term, “the next good thing,” or “the next best thing!” Salesmen will use this term to sell their new product. This phrase will convince the consumer that they are ahead of their friends in status if they own this product because it is the “next GOOD thing!”
When a good thing comes along, it changes life for the recipient. It can make life easier,…

God Is Crazy About You!
"God has perfect love for you; He is crazy about you!"
  by Amy Sapp
Who are you crazy about?
Are you crazy about your husband, the love of your life?
Do you remember your first date? Think about how you could not wait for the next time you saw him smile, the next love letter, the next phone call, the next text, and the next date! Did your heart “pitter-patter” when he would walk into the room? Remember planning your wedding, and the excitement of…

The Stones We Throw - Guarding Against Seeing Only the Bad in Others
"Being the lookout for everyone else's failures is not the barometer of our spiritual maturity."
  by Andrew Wolfenbarger
I fight it constantly – the innate ability to see fault in others. I would say that we are all pretty skilled at this. What makes this feeling worse is that this ability is often accompanied by another unremarkable skill of choosing to ignore our own faults and failures. While we are all keenly aware of our faults, it feeds our pride when we can clearly see the failures…

10 Lessons Christians Can Learn From Bruce Jenner
The greatest shock to me in recent days has been the misguided response of so many Christians regarding this issue and how churches should respond to those like Mr. Jenner. Allow me to weigh in with a few thoughts.
by Dr. Bob Gray Sr.
There is much discussion regarding the recent announcement of Bruce Jenner’s search for his “true” sexual identity. I have fond memories of Jenner as a great olympic athlete, but he nows says that he was tortured even during those times with his struggle. I contend that his struggles back then were nothing more than a missing identity that God wanted to give him through…
