There’s an old saying that says: “Patience is a virtue”.
We don’t pray for patience, we practice it.
Sure, we fail, our pride gets the better of us and we lose patience. But we keep practicing it.
Sometimes practicing patience can be sufferable, especially in a world where we’re used to getting what we want now!
Very few of us experience…
Suffering means experiencing pain of some sort, physically or mentally.
Being a victim is admitting that your suffering was not meant for you. That it doesn’t serve you and you have no control over it.
The problem with our modern culture is that we confuse suffering with being a victim. We avoid all suffering and quickly embrace victimhood.
Why?
Because if I’m a victim, that’s someone else’s problem. There is nothing I can or need to do about it, I was a victim.
If I’m suffering, I still have a choice. I can choose to continue to suffer, eventually leading to my victimhood, or I can turn my suffering into a strength…
Pride is a real bugger, isn’t it?
Most associate pride with having more than another person or being better at something than them and gloating about it.
But our pride usually gets exposed more when we refuse to be wrong about something. We’re often attached to our identity of being right about specific things. Especially if we’ve spent hours, days, or years learning something of this world…
Once you can really understand how imperfect you are, then you can have the love and grace to accept the imperfection in others.
It’s when we’re blind, ignorant, or unwilling to see our own imperfections that we end up blaming everyone else for our problems.
Sunday morning perspective before you head to church today. I recall some years ago a pastor at my church talking about one weekend (before he was a pastor) when they were late getting to church. It seemed as though nothing was going...
I see a lot of believers who love their country and believe Christian patriotism will save their nation.
May I remind you that 40 years of Christian patriotism has led America to this very point in time?
That Christian patriotism lead Germany into WWII.
And it’s Christian patriotism that’s fueling Russian troops to fight for what is right in their minds.
Someone might read this and conclude that Christianity is the problem, but that’s because they don’t know God.
The problem is the perversion of scripture.
These believers put God right on the same pedestal as their country.
God + Country = Their faith.

Hitler gained power because the people and the church were deceived and focused on their nation before God's will. Hitler became a tyrannical dictator because the church remained silent knowing they were deceived and had too much pride to...
If your church relies on its non-prophet status, high offerings to cover costs, government funding, or public perception, can it honestly and unapologetically teach the entire bible? The only correct answer is no. Some Christians believe...
I'm big on seeking knowledge. Knowledge makes us more powerful. But is there such a thing as seeking too much knowledge? It was the seeking of knowledge of medical experiments on unwilling Jews in WWII that was evil and sinful. Perhaps...
When you truly understand the cancerous properties sin has on us and the world, you start to detest the slight bit of it from within. It's not to say one becomes perfect and sin-free. You just become hyper-aware of it and want to remove...
When you’re right in the middle of an argument with a loved one, we all have a struggle with feeling, expressing, and showing love. We’re at an emotional high, and our logic escapes us. We react instead of properly responding.
And these are the people that are the closest to us and that we care the most about. And yet Jesus tells us to love our enemies. Knowing myself, that seems like an impossible task.
Too many Christians fell for the lie. The world has taught us that our physical life is separate from our spiritual life. You can believe what you want provided you keep it to yourself. Do your worshipping in a building on Sunday, and...
Short clip of a great conversation between a Christian, a scientist, and Jordan Peterson.
I’m not going to say I agree with every single word said here, but the conversation is very deep and interesting.
Jonathan’s point near the end hits the nail on the head.
I've been watching/listening to some easter services from many churches this last week. I've seen all sorts of messages. Some reduce the concept of sin to a small annoyance or when you get irritable with others or your children. They...
The written word stimulates the imagination. The written word educates people. The written word brings clarity. The written word allows for progress. The written word creates efficiencies. But none of that is possible without the spoken...
A few weeks back during our prayer and worship night a brother brought up a question that's been very close to my spiritual walk. There is a lot of evil, sinful, and downright satanic stuff going on in the world right now. I'm unsure if...
Women need a protector. And that's the husband's role. He provides for and protects his wife and children. So what happens after decades of de-masculating men through media? What happens when society is full of men who are more in touch...
If you say it louder, it doesn't make you right. Have you ever had someone try to explain something to you and you didn't get it? So you ask them to explain it again, to which they respond with a sigh and attempt to say it again, but...
The Jezebel spirit was dominating Egypt before it fell. This is the divine femininity people are after today. When people walk away from God, it's typically toward a feminine god. And to be clear, none of this has to do with men or women....
Women are NOT equal to men. But I cannot say that without also saying that men are NOT equal to women. We were never designed to be equals. We were designed to be complimentary. As a man, I have specific talents and values to bring to...
