    I have heard way too many stories lately of people who are defaming and degrading the name of Christ. There are too many people who call themselves Christians but are rampant pagans at best and complete atheists at worse. I can’t believe how many conversations I am having with people who have never heard of…

    There are usually two camps in Christianity and their approach to the Holy Spirit. One camp places an inordinate emphasis on the Holy Spirit while the other, rarely if ever, even mentions the third person of the Trinity. Some people go as far as to have their own version of the Trinity: Father, Son and…

    This past Sunday, our church held a Harvest Celebration – also known as “Жатва.” It was a time in which we gave thanks to God and His Son Jesus Christ for the abundant grace that is so lavishly bestowed upon us. Жатва is actually one of those traditions in the Russian church that I do not…

    The first time I ever saw someone tweet #favorfollowsme, I was taken back by the audacity of this claim. How conceited does this person have to be to proclaim something so prideful such as this? But after giving some thought to this idea and looking at my own life, my initial outrage was diffused. I…

    Over the years, I have noticed a trending topic that surrounds contemporary Christians. This spills over to any group of people, even those with no religious preference. This topic is not often talked about and usually avoided at all costs. When people guilty of this are pressed as to the reason behind their actions –…

    Writing and putting out content can sometimes be absolutely exhilarating. At other times,  it can be very lonely and frustrating. The creative process of writing takes time and energy. The arbitrary thing is that my interest level behind a topic does not always line up with your interest level as the reader. But, when the…

    Be sure to first the last on – because when I speak of effort in this post, I am coming at it from a distinctly grace-empowered position — and not as something that comes directly from our own sinful self.  Is effort necessary in the Christian life? Do I need to put in energy and enthusiasm into living…
