The recent news of esteemed Dallas pastors Tony Evans and Robert Morris stepping down due to “past sin,” has undoubtedly caused some to question their perceived perfection. It never occurred to me that they or anyone else would be absolutely perfect, but the fact that these "sins" are only now being acknowledged after a number of years, leads me to question the men’s integrity. Additionally, seeing comments from believers who try to justify it or make it sound like it’s okay or even honorable, is disturbing. Since issues such as these adversely affect the church community and the Lord's reputation to outsiders, we should examine church congregational structures for changes that could be made going forward. In this post, we’re specifically discussing if the modern-day pastor as it exists today, in America, is even biblical and if not, what we should do about it. Read more

Growing up in Texas, I’ve always been familiar with Juneteenth. Each year, people in our small town would gather at the park excited to enjoy free food, local radio stations, talent shows, and more. My mother would bring us and we would spend the whole day there, sometimes leaving and returning later. I had a great time and eagerly looked forward to the following year until that particular celebration eventually ceased. Read more

Let’s nonetheless try to understand what he was getting at. Read more

A primary role of a shepherd is to feed his flock. This involves leading them to good pastures to graze. When the flock isn’t properly nourished, bad things can happen. The sheep may suffer needlessly from hunger or they may wander off and consume harmful substances. Similar outcomes happen when a congregation isn’t adequately nourished. As a shepherd, or pastor, your job is to help us grow in our faith, and become more like Christ. However, there are certain teaching habits that can hinder our growth and prevent us from fully embracing God's plan for our lives. In this article, we’ll explore five such habits and understand how they can be detrimental to God's people. By recognizing and addressing these patterns, we can strive towards a more fulfilling and transformative spiritual journey. So, without further ado, here are 5 teaching habits that starve the body of Christ. Read more
April 22 is Earth Day in the U.S. and in many other parts of the world. I remember learning about it in elementary school, maybe in the third grade. My class drew posters of the earth and then we went outside as a group and started to pick up trash. We even had a little parade—-or something like that. The older I get the more my memories escape me, but from that point on, I would always remember Earth Day and how important it was to take care of the earth and try to "save the earth." What is Earth Day and should believers acknowledge or celebrate it? Let’s start with some brief facts about the history and purpose of this day, celebrated around the world. Read more

As well as being offensive to God's holiness, it deceives people into thinking they’re saved by having no more than an intellectual belief in God, without changing their wicked lifestyles, and without turning from their sins. Because of this, so many poor saps are headed for destruction, and they don't even realize it. Read more
