"It’s not that giving to your local church isn’t important—it is, leaders told the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE).
But 76 percent say it’s fine if you want to give part of your tithe to a different ministry.
“Many evangelical leaders do not believe there’s a biblical requirement to...
Guns aren't inherently bad or good. it is the person using them for the wrong purposes. What the article really fails to talk about is that there is something wrong within the human heart that causes this violence. it reminds me of what Jesus said in Matthew 15:18-19 "But the things that...
This research was published by barna group about school violence and what different faith groups feel like is the reason this problem exists. The article says
"Most American adults believe family dysfunction has the most formative impact on a young person’s propensity to violence. Difficult...
For the believer, we are alway in the middle of God's goodness and mercy. As bad as life can get sometimes, I can always take comfort in the fact that I am deeply loved, forgiven and watched over by the Lord. That even when bad things happen that God will bring something out of it that is...
I have a list of about 13 verses that I have written down that I look at from time to time. I have changed the list from time to time also. These verses are meant to inspire and encourage me and to renew my thinking. My verses are listed below. What are your verses and why?

A lot of times we would have arguments and say mean things and then leave the room and then later act like nobody said anything. It was rare to hear an apology unless it was really really bad
I don't think the point of the passage is that we are joyful because of the trials. It isn't telling us to enjoy pain and suffering. But, maybe it is because of trials that God is going to do something great in our lives.
It is interesting that you mention doubt because it is also mentioned in this same chapter in James 1:6-8 "but let him ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man expect that he will receive anything...
James 1:2-4 says, "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance, and let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."
When I read that first I think it is...
I noticed Jacksonville even won a game against Houston yesterday. That's bad when you get beat by Jacksonville. Maybe they will surprise everyone and be good this year.
Cleveland is still Cleveland.
It is raining now. We are not in the direct path of Irma, but these clouds and rains are associated with it. We are suppose to get some wind also and maybe an inch or two of rain. It is 60 degrees out
I was out tending to my rose bushes when I noticed that a tomato plant is growing right in the middle of all my rose bushes. I didn't plan it there. I actually had 3 ripe small tomatoes and about 20 green ones. That was a nice suprise
The church that I attend on Sunday mornings is preparing for revival services starting in October. We are praying for a movement of God in our church and community. The pastor preached on Nehemiah 8:1-10 where Ezra read from the law and the people responded. He said that the people showed up...
