Choose Love: A Poem

When did My name become a byword?
A curse on the tongue of My creation,
The ones I created in My image,
The ones I sent My only, begotten Son to save.
I would tell you that I love you,
So that you would turn away from your destruction,
The sin that pulls you to the grave.
But I know even that perfect declaration would be of little consequence.
Because you don’t know Me;
Therefore, you don’t know Love.

A lot of people are hurting…

There has been more than one highly publicized suicide in recent weeks. And I know some of you, who are reading this,  are or maybe know someone who is having a difficult time right now.

Jesus is always the message

Jesus is always the message. Sadly, in a lot of Western, seeker-friendly churches this is no longer the case. Church has become about giving the attendee what he or she wants: affirming sin, jokes, entertainment, self-help motivating messages with Scripture taken out of context with a little Jesus sprinkled on top, and worship that makes you feel good instead of glorifying God, being Bible-based and God-focused.
