The Flip Side of Love Wins
Posted: April 10, 2011 in Following Jesus, God the Father, Holy SpiritTags: Eternal Punishment, Love Wins by Rob Bell, Obedience
Man, I’m not sure if we’re waiting to rake people over the coals or not, but the controversy surrounding Rob Bell‘s new book Love Wins EVEN BEFORE most people had a chance to read it, was mostly marketing genius and partly, people with WAY too much time on their hands. First off, how do you [...]
Where’s the Fruit?
Posted: April 3, 2011 in Fireproof Ministries, Following Jesus, God the Father, Holy SpiritTags: heaven, hell, Love Wins, Rob Bell, XXXChurch.com
I read all about the hype surrounding Rob Bell’s new book, Love Wins, way before I even knew he wrote books. The buzz was literally intriguing and I found myself consumed with wondering about heaven, hell and what I’ve always been taught. I pretty much got the wind knocked out of me. I searched for an [...]
Isaiah 9:4
Posted: February 6, 2011 in Following Jesus, God the Father, Holy SpiritTags: captivity, God saves, scripture
Holy scripture has much to say about setting captives free. This is the verse I’m taking with me this year to proclaim freedom! For God will break the chains that bind his people and the whip that scourges them, just as he did when he destroyed the army of Midian with Gideon’s little band. I [...]

Coming out of a self-made prison, makes breaking free all the sweeter. In seeking God, I ran across my Voice of the Martyrs newsletter. This amazing ministry supports with love, prayer and resources all the believers who risk their lives to minister to least of these, persons trapped in the war zones of Columbia (any [...]
WRATH Campaign
Posted: July 20, 2010 in Following Jesus, God the Father, Holy Spirit, WRATH CampaignWomen Rallying Against Trafficking Humans. That’s a pretty powerful statement unto itself. What could the average women possibly do about human trafficking? The cause of modern slavery is no different from the slavery that has existed since man knew he could intimidate and control another man. Since man determined to belittle another man’s self worth [...]
Something New

My friends Brett and Kelli followed God’s call to take care of the orphans and adopted two boys from Rwanda. It was a grueling process with God cutting lots of redtape and in the process, giving them a heart for the people of Rwanda. Not long after that, God called them to actually move to [...]
Baptism, The Great Mystery
Posted: June 6, 2010 in Following Jesus, God the Father, Holy SpiritTags: Baptism, Romans 5 and 6
My son is getting baptized today, YAY! This decision is a big deal. In the church, there is great debate over this act. Some say it’s an outward showing of an inward committment, like a wedding ring. Others will hold it as a requirement to heaven for the remission of sins. Each side backs up [...]
