I’ve saved this topic for last - not because I think it is the least important, but because I think it is the natural result of all of the problems we have talked about for the last five weeks.
Christians treat members of the LGBT community very badly, and we have no right to.
We are all broken people who need help. That is one of the foundational points of Christianity. Therefore, it is impossible to live a Christian life and at the same time think one race is better than another.
What is that one thing that will upset church people more than anything else? What is the one thing that if you do it, there will be no forgiveness?
The only question that really matters when hiring a pastor is: “Does this person know God?” Instead, we’re trying to find rock stars who can bring a bunch of people in the door. With all the Christian leaders who have been falling lately, I think we’re finding out how well that strategy has been working.
2020 was awful. Now it's 2021, and we're beginning a new year. How about instead of trying to put a bright face on everything we simply acknowledge some realities? In this series, I'm going to talk about some of the major things wrong with American Christianity.
Simple solutions are usually not good solutions. So, if we want a good solution, then we need to address the real problems.

The Gospel of Mark says Jesus is going to lead God's people into the promised land. But, they were already living in Israel. What's going on?
Why do bad people often seem to get away with things and have everything good while good people often get the leftovers? It would seem like an all-powerful and loving God should fix this.
Why in the world would a good and loving God not only just allow slavery but actually command it. Why would we worship a god who clearly doesn’t even have his own moral compass pointing in the right direction?
Yeah, I know this topic is not super fun, but I’m willing to bet a lot of you have been wondering about this and may not have ever heard a good answer. And that applies whether you’re Christian or not. So, let’s get into it.
Overall, technology is a very good thing. There are, however, some side effects - some unintended consequences that are not positive.
I can think of two main ways that we have to live by faith in our everyday lives. The first one is trusting God that He actually cares about us and will work everything out.
We're not supposed to have blind faith. OK, but what does true faith actually look like?
Faith is sometimes described as “believing something when you know it isn’t true.” That’s actually not faith. The technical term for that is “delusion.”
Really, what we’re asking when we ask this question is: Which translation is closest to the original? And the answer is...
