    A message on what defines someone as a Christian.

    In Acts 11:26 we read at the bottom of the verse these words “And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.” The word Christian is misunderstood in a lot of ways these days. It seems few really know what a christian really is. People tend to think these days that they can call ...read more

    Ever wonder what you are signing up for with Jesus Christ? Luke 9 gives us some practical examples of the principals in the Christian discipleship.

    Do you know what a "EULA" is? It’s not a form of Hawaiian dance. It’s not what you say about a person at a funeral. It stands for "End User License Agreement." If you have ever installed a piece of computer software, you have encountered a EULA. It’s that huge mass of legal garbly-gook full of ...read more

    In nearly every aspect of a Christians life, they feel like they’re on a treadmill. They can never quite do enough or be quite good enough. And just when they think they are up to speed, someone turns up the machine, and they are playing catch-up again.

    Treadmill Christianity Titus 3:3-7 In 2001 we were about to have our first child and I decided that if I was going to be the dad that would play catch, and soccer in the yard then I needed to get into better shape. So I started going out to the local college and running. Every night Trista would ...read more

    Alcohol and Christianity do not go together. If we are truly temples for Christ and we are to glorify God in all we do, we should remain clean and pure.

    Alcohol and Christianity Several scriptures encourage us to stay away from alcohol. It doesn’t actually forbid everyone from drinking alcoholic beverages. Old Testament Leviticus 10:9 Numbers 6:3 Deuteronomy 14:26; 29:6 Judges 13:4.7,14 1 Samuel 1:15 Proverbs 20:1; 31:4,6 Isaiah 5:11,22; 24:9; ...read more

    Paul gives us three guidelines for effective evangelism.

    Jim had a passion for God, a love for people, and a burden to communicate the gospel.
