Since I’m from the South, it probably wouldn’t surprise anyone to know that one of my favorite comedians is Jeff Foxworthy. Being from the South himself, Foxworthy has a bit that’s called “You Might be a Redneck,” which is a sort of test designed to help rednecks know whether or not they are actually rednecks …

Giving is a commandment. Tithing isn’t – that’s an Old Testament commandment that has since been done away with (Hebrews 8) – but giving of our means cheerfully and with a loving heart on the first day of the week absolutely is (1 Corinthians 16:1-2; 2 Corinthians 9:6-7). We practice it where I worship, most …

Of all the stories surrounding Peter, there’s one in particular that strikes me as odd: the one in Galatians 2 with Peter playing the hypocrite. It’s a deceptively complex story, with Peter having zero problem being with the Gentiles when there were no Jews around, but when “the party of the circumcision” came back, Peter …

Of all the phrases to emerge out of Christianity over the last hundred years, “don’t judge me” is possibly the worst. It ranks right up there with other phrases like “everything happens for a reason,” and “cleanliness is next to Godliness,” neither of which have any basis in the Bible or reality. I get it, …

By all accounts, Hurricane Harvey will go down as one of the worst natural disasters to ever hit the United States, with many people calling it a 500 or even 1000-year flood. At the time of this writing, Harvey has dumped nearly 33 trillion gallons of water on the gulf coast area, forcing the National …

Elijah may have been “a man with a nature like ours” (James 5:17), but that doesn’t always mean it’s easy to identify with people in the Bible. After all, they killed lions with their bare hands (Judges 14:5-6), slew giants (1 Samuel 17:49), and walked on water (Matthew 14:29); when was the last time you …

Let me preface everything I’m about to say with this bold statement: I am absolutely a religious conservative. In saying that, I mean that I am beholden to the traditions found within the pages of the Bible because they are God-inspired and authoritative in every way. I believe that we should live and move and …

The summer’s almost over, which means it is the perfect time to talk about modesty! I would call myself somewhat of a movie buff. I watch the Oscars, but never watch the pre-show on the red carpet. Why? Because I simply don’t care about what happens there. Half of the questions they ask center around …

As much as we would like for Him to be, Jesus will not ever be reigning on a physical throne in Jerusalem, ever. He will not be taking back Israel to hand it over to the Jews, He will not be restoring Israel to a David-Solomon period of glory, and He will not reign as …

At the time of this writing, 59 people attending an outdoor country music festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, have died at the hands of a murderous psychopath, an otherwise obscure resident of Mesquite, Nevada, who fired rounds from several different rifles into a crowd with the intent to murder as many people as possible. The …
