For Some, It is never enough
A friend of mine tells a story about a couple in the church where he served that was perpetually ticked off at the church (or him).
It would be pretty consistent that he would receive an email from them stating why they were upset. (This was ...
Love amidst whoring and sleeping around
“The God ordered me, ‘Start all over: Love your wife again, your wife who’s in bed with her latest boyfriend, your cheating wife. Love her the way I, God, love the Israelite people, even as they flirt and party with every god that takes their ...
Relational Crap – Wheat and Weeds
In early 1970s Roxboro, North Carolina had a special “place” where Santa sat on weekends and a few weeknights throughout December.
There were no malls, etc. for Santa to hang out in within this small town so children and their families would ...
Scandalous Love
“For better, for worse.
For richer, for poorer.
In sickness and in health.
As you are a prostitute or have adulterous affairs.”
What if that last sentence was a part of your marriage vows?
Would you say it?
Yesterday in worship we talked ...
Devotion “Scandalous Love” Week Two
We all have doubts. Nagging doubts. Quiet thoughts that creep in and cause us to wonder if the things we have held true for years are actually real, or if the whole thing has been a façade.

Think about it . . . think about the miracle of the life of Mary.
We have ...
Tough Miracles
When we say “Christmas” lots of things come to mind.
Time with friends and family.
Good food, cookies, and parties/festivities
Stores and sales.
Christmas music piped into stores and on the radio.
And . . . maybe a few extra worship ...
The Shadow Side
But the Bible says “to hate” . . . What do we “hate?”
The ideas behind “love the sinner, hate the sin” are actually scriptural, just a little misconstrued.
In yesterday’s devotion we explored where Jesus called out the religious leaders for ...
Loving and Hating
“Love the sinner, hate the sin” is one of the Christian clichés that we think are found in Scripture but actually, the statement as a whole, is not. There are “like” thoughts/statements in Scripture that we will explore this week that lend us ...
No More Rationalization
Henri Nouwen writes, “When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds ...
Biblical Backing
The myths that we are exploring during the message series “Finding Faith” exist for a reason. People did not conjur them up out of the blue – they originated with scripture passages that either have been misconstrued over the centuries or ...
