So I’ve been writing some pretty heavy blog posts over the last year. Therefore, it’s time for some humor. This one is a classic. The Original: Songified: Read more

Sometime ago, I saw the re-run of Fast & Furious 6. I stunt-doubled in it (for Vin Diesel, of course), but that’s not the reason why I’m writing this post. 🙂 The movie is superb. It also depicts two kinds of kingdoms . . . or churches. One is the kingdom (or church) ruled by “precision” . . . where people are treated as cogs in the system. If they make a mistake, they are disposed of. The other is... Read more

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream – and not make dreams... Read more

Isaiah 12:2  “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.” Matthew 5:9  “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Matthew 11:28-30  Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

A number of years ago I discovered the idea of a Mastermind group, and I have to say, it really resonates. Especially after being involved with quite a few. If this idea is new to you, here’s a description of a Mastermind group. “There is synergy of energy, commitment, and excitement that participants bring to a Mastermind Group. The beauty of Mastermind Groups is that participants raise the bar by challenging each other to create and implement goals, brainstorm ideas, and... Read more

“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not... Read more

Adrian Warnock is asking how we see mental illness and how our faith shapes the way we understand it. But in answer to the question, as a person who believes the Bible, humans are tripartite. We are spirit, soul, and body. The soul makes up mind, will, and emotion. All of these parts are connected. In addition, the brain is an organ just like the thyroid, the heart, and any other organ that can become imbalanced. I also believe in... Read more

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. ~ Jesus, John 10:27 Countless Christians today are hungry to hear God’s voice. The trouble is, many don’t know how. In a warm and practical way, Jesus Speaks teaches readers how to listen for the voice of Jesus. The book explores the various ways in which Christ speaks today and how His sheep can grow in their ability to recognize and respond to His voice daily. By... Read more

Interview with Frank Viola on his Book “God’s Favorite Place on Earth” Greg: I was initially struck by the title of your book, “God’s Favorite Place on Earth.” As one who loathes the idolatrous nationalism that has often led American Christians as well as others to claim that “WE are God’s favored nation,” I was delighted (though not surprised) to discover that the title of your book has nothing to do with THAT. But can you let us in on... Read more
