As I did a few updates to my website the other day, I read some of the articles I’d written a couple of years ago. It is quite fascinating to me, because so much has changed since then. It is amazing how God can completely change a human if you let Him! The pages of [...]

March 23, 2010 by
Billy the Early Years is a film about the early life of charismatic preacher Billy Graham. The movie was released in theaters on October of 2008, and was released on DVD in March 2010. I have always admired Billy Graham. He is one of the most well-known preachers of our time. And while I don’t necessarily agree with all [...]
Why Are Christians So Judgemental and Hateful Sometimes? Why Hate?
January 26, 2010 by
One of the common criticisms I hear about Christianity is that people often feel as if Christians “hate” people, and are very judgemental. This, in some ways, is true. However, in some ways, it isn’t true. In this article, I will attempt to explain why Christians give off this vibe, and are sometimes mislabeled as [...]
Are You a Compartmentalized Christian? Judge Yourself!
September 18, 2009 by
Recently, a guy by the name of Phillip Garrido was found to have allegedly kidnapped, raped, and fathered children with a young girl (Jaycee Duggard). As I read the chilling story in the news, I was absolutely shocked and disgusted. How could anyone do something so terrible to an innocent child? How could a grown man allegedly kidnap [...]
Why Are There So Many Christian Denominations?
September 3, 2009 by
There is a great joke I once heard that I would like to share with everyone, which pokes fun at the attitude of many Christians today: “I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said ‘Stop! Don’t do [...]

August 14, 2009 by
Whew, I have been so busy lately that I haven’t been blogging as much as usual. However, I am going to try and catch up over the next 2 or 3 days on a few questions and some things I have wanted to post about. I have a question regarding faith and relationship problems. Here [...]
Does the Bible Say Christians Should Date or Marry Non-Christians or Unbelievers?
August 2, 2009 by
I recently made a post addressing the question of whether or not Christians should have close friendships with non-Christians. So I thought I would go ahead and address the other major topic that often comes up: Dating & Marriage. I think intimate relationships are very important, and faith DOES matter. After all, faith lays the [...]
Why No Atheist Martyrs? They Are So Very Religious!
July 28, 2009 by
If you were going to make a list of people who died SOLELY for the cause of atheism, I’ll bet you will be busy doing a lot of research. Let’s face it, there are very very few (if any) true atheists who die solely for the cause of their religious beliefs. You may be able [...]
Is a Real Church or Online Church Better?
July 10, 2009 by
In a recent post, a person asked the question of fellowship at the church and I responded with some of my views. This did spark an interesting conversation, and my friend Eruesso made a great comment. So I thought I would share that, and also add a little more to my views: This is a [...]
Was Adolf Hitler a Catholic (Christian) or Atheist?
June 7, 2009 by
The religious beliefs of Adolf Hitler are often a topic of debate among theologians and history scholars. Christians will often cite Hitler as being an atheist. Atheists, however, are quick to point out a few references of Hitler’s alleged Catholic (Christian) beliefs. In fact, Hitler may have even called himself a Christian on occasion. In [...]
Is God Hidden or Revealed? What Good is a Hidden God?
April 24, 2009 by
Discussing religious views, contemplating the unknown, and trying to make sense of God & life are all things I tend to be very passionate about. In an inter-blog conversation, I have discussed a few views with a fellow blogger, Eruesso, and thought I would post some thoughts of this discussion. First, I just want to touch [...]
How Should Christians Respond to People Taking Advantage of Them?
January 14, 2009 by
People can often be taken advantage of, and this is especially true when you tend to be a “nice” person. People sometimes see how far they can push your buttons or get you to do favors until you cave in. I recently responded to a great question concerning how to treat friends that take advantage [...]
How Can I Find My Purpose or Talent in Life?
January 6, 2009 by
A question almost all of us will ask at some points (or many points), is the simple question “What is my purpose in this life?” This is a very hard question for some of us, because we feel we have no idea! Someone recently asked about this. Here was my reply: How Can I Find [...]

Here is a great question I recently received: I just recently decided to start attending church. It has been a while since I have gone, and I am very nervous. Do you have any tips or advice for a person just going back to church? Hello, That is great that you have decided to pursue [...]
How Can I Learn More About God? How Can I Connect and Become More Spiritual?
September 15, 2008 by
Many people make a decision that they would like to learn more about God, and potentially pursue a spiritual study. This is always great, because I think everyone in their life-time should examine what their beliefs really are, and stand by those beliefs. A person recently contacted me and asked how they can begin to [...]
