Check out this video from Keystone Church in Keller, TX. “Two Words You Never Want to Hear” is a poem by Paul Tripp from the book “A Shelter in the Time of Storm.” Performed as SPOKEN WORD by Amber Mahon.

This is just a quick post.  For many years now, I have become increasingly skeptical of the idea of an immortal soul.  I think there is a lot of evidence to suggest that we do not have souls or spirits in the traditional sense.  This doesn’t mean that there’s no God, only that we are [...]

Does God care about us and is he involved in our daily lives? God is a personal God, true or false? If you don’t believe God is a personal God who works miracles, how do you pray? Or better yet, why would you bother to pray? If God is not personal and involved with us [...]

One of my biggest problems with many organized religions is that they love to take scripture out of context, or twist it to something that suits their own personal beliefs or values, regardless of what the scripture actually says.

All religions are guilty of this from time to time. Lately the Muslim religion has been in the hotseat about this, but Christians and Catholics have [...]

Religion as a Career This sort of goes along with the religion as a hobby, but some people take it a step further and are certain that they are called by God to be a minister, or a missionary, etc. Now, I’m not saying that they are or aren’t being called by God. But in [...]

Religion as a Hobby Everybody has something they are passionate about, and something that they are good at. I’m passionate about science and technology, some people it is cars, others it is football. Of course, some people it is religion. Now, in their mind they feel like they are just doing as the Lord commands, [...]
