As believers we have a new identity in Christ. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Cor 5:17 NIV). The problem we face is how to live out that new identity in a world where everything concerning Christianity seems to be under […]
THE GOSPEL GRAFFITI CREW
Visual art has the ability to uniquely impact its viewer through the interplay between image, color, and purpose. Through this careful interplay, we can experience messages with various senses, and therefore be more holistically impacted by them. The Gospel Graffiti Crew has identified the world’s need to know and understand the Gospel message and has […]
In The Hollow of His Hand
It was there in that room that it happened; my heart swelled, broke down and opened up to what was being shown to me. The cheerful yellow paint popped a little too loudly off the walls and the deep red chairs offered little hope for comfort. Across the circle of people her large innocent eyes […]
TRANSPORT FOR CHRIST
It was the early 1950s. At the time, truckdrivers made their living in harsher conditions. With fewer highways and interstates, a trip that would take a couple of days in present time could take close to a week. There were fewer places to rest and less means of communication which sometimes made the profession much […]
What does it mean to have a Christian worldview?
The phrase “Christian Worldview” is one that is open to wide interpretation. If you think about it, there are actually as many worldviews as there are people that identify themselves as Christians. That is because all of our life experiences affect how we see our past, present and our future. A Christian worldview means recognizing […]
FAITH & TECHNOLOGY
I wake up to my phone alarm every morning. Cuisinart makes my coffee. Toyota drives me to work. Facebook counts my friends and AT&T raises the bar on my friendships. Apple pushes me through my workout and takes down my notes in class. Finally, when my work is finished and the next day’s outfit has been […]
Keeping The Faith
With the closing of this parenting series, comes perhaps the most crucial part. Now that you have children, what are some of the best ways to continue the faith in the family? It seems like a simple enough question. I think we as Christian parents might assume our children will accept our faith and that […]
DISCIPLE
What is a disciple? When I was younger I used to watch martial arts movies. In these movies there would be a master and he would always have one or more disciples. These disciples chose to learn kung fu from this master and they would follow his every move and hang on every word that […]
GOD WITHIN
You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents […]
AN OFFER YOU CAN REFUSE
As a young man I was not raised in a Christian home. I never attended church. I never opened a bible. I didn’t believe in the existence of God–I was an atheist. I wallowed in drunkenness, womanizing, illegal drugs, lawbreaking, rebellion to parents, arrests, nights in jail, deception, theft, and pride. These actions were acceptable […]
