Doctrine and evangelism were never meant to be at odds, they were meant to compliment each other. Choose one, lose both.
WatchHeres 30 seconds of a new KINGDOM song to be featured on our next album “The Answer” Enjoy!
We will call a father that gives his child everything wicked, yet we will expect the same from God and promise to call Him good.

We use the methods of the world to attract attendees, then we tell them to not be of the world, no wonder people don’t understand Christians.
Today’s idea of Jesus sounds like a needy ex waiting by the phone for us to call him back. God doesn’t need us, He chooses to include us.
The new great commission: Go and change the world! (making disciples is now optional)
Does God make people sick?
No way! God only gives us what is good for us, right? This would have been my answer, until a few weeks ago that is. I was recently engaged in a conversation with a Pastor that made the claim that God doesn’t make people sick and that He only gives us what is good for us, and if Christians accept this reality that God gives sickness, they are living an inferior life. I will admit, this...
God can exist without atheism, atheism can not exist without God.

Behavior Modification Saves!
I once heard a well known Christian teacher say ” behind every sin is a lie that I’m believing”. Although this sounds new and profound, it struck me as fundamentally inconsistent with scripture, heres why: If this was true, then every time I sin it takes the blame off of me and my inherent sinful nature as outlined in scripture (Romans 7), and places it on the lie, or the person...
Christ is not a crutch on which to lean, He’s the stretcher that carries me.
God’s law is not a collection of steps to be climbed, it is a gusty wind that knocks us back into the arms of Christ. The law shows us our unrighteousness, the gospel shows us the righteousness of Jesus given to us. If we think following Jesus is about 5 easy steps to follow to achieve relational, financial and occupational success etc, we have just become the religious pharisees we so love...
The postmodern thinker certainly fears people of certainty. Think about it.
had a dream about a majestic unicorn who was trying to convince me that we would make a good couple…. it was a male unicorn, welp, off to church!
A short sermon I wrote about God's plan for your...
4 points to fulfill God’s plan for YOU!
Have you ever wanted God to plainly lay out his perfect plan for you in writing? He totally has! Jeremiah 29:5-8 says:
“Build homes, and plan to stay. Plant gardens, and eat the food they produce. Marry and have children. Then find spouses for them so that you may have many grandchildren. Multiply! Do not dwindle away! And work for the...

Thankful for Jesus,family and friends…and that Nickelback only played one song during halftime
On the cross God looked at Jesus as if He lived our lives, and looked at us as if we lived Jesus’ life.

I talked to a stay at home mom today who felt condemned because she was “just” a stay at home mom who used to have aspirations to change the world. This saddens me that Christians are being looked down upon because of their pursuit of a “normal” life, feeling like a disappointment because they didn’t fulfill a mandate that Jesus never gave us. Seems to me if we had...
we can be sincere and wrong at the same time, our subjective experience must yield to the objective authority of scripture
Question: If we did not choose to be physically born, then, do we as Christians choose to be spiritually “born again”? Go
18 hours straight in the studio last night…sleep is so boring, but I miss it dearly.
The Ghetto Chronicles II
Today while I was getting into my car at my apartment complex, a guy wearing sunglasses in a mysterious black sedan with tinted windows rolled down his window said “hey buddy”, this is never a good start to the day. He was holding a pair of binoculars, wearing a badge and a bullet proof vest…this just got awesome. He asked me to sit in my car and roll down the window so we could...
