Ross powersChristians are not called to do the same things, but each Christians has a unique calling that is uniquely suited to his or her unique situation. Bloom where you are planted.
Rip curlRecovering your relationship is never easy and sometimes not even possible. Just as relationships and love require work, commitment, forgiveness, and understanding to endure the challenge of recovering a relationship and love challenges us to turn that work inward, love and forgive ourselves before we can begin to understand why a relationship ended and not only if it is recoverable but also if it is worth recovering. It is only with 100% honesty with ourselves that we may find the answers.
Ross powersThanksgiving and Christmas are soon upon us. For most people they are a time of pain and difficulty for many reasons. They are family celebrations, but our families are mostly broken and the holidays remind us of this painful fact. They may remind others of their failure to confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior -- and of the implications of that failure. For many embattled Christians the holidays bring the culture war to the front burner.
Knowledge based upon personal experience is neither objective, nor trustworthy. But because the Bible has been vetted by many people in many different cultures over many thousands of years, it's knowledge is as close to being objective as is humanly possible.
Ross powersFalse gods are powerless because they are not real. And yet, people falsely believe they are real, and establish very real and destructive behaviors on that false basis.

Base jumping deathsSpiritual revelation is the uncovering of hidden knowledge and wisdom about the wonder and adventure of living our lives in Christ. It is to discover that all God’s intentions toward us are good in bringing us forth into the image of His Son.
Ross powersThe failure to accept the Christ of Scripture by substituting a christ of Greek or human wisdom results in, among other things, divisions in the church. The divisions arise from the false understandings produced by filtering the gospel through the categories of human wisdom, by submitting the gospel to the categories of academia.
Ross powersToo many Christians think that they need dress the gospel up in the latest fads of music, drama, literature, etc., in order for the gospel to be relevant to contemporary people. Too many Christians have it ass backwards. It isn't that the Bible needs to be relevant to people, but that people need to be relevant to the Bible. Is the culture to lead the church? Or is the church to lead the culture?
Ross powersTrue reformation and revival of the Christian church must reform and revive church courts. Indeed, as the civil court system continues to collapse from the backlog of cases and the moral corruption of the legal system, the Christian church may well find itself faced with an opportunity to actually be what God has called it to be -- a vehicle of forgiveness and reconciliation among all people.
