Recently, one of my good friends was defamed in a blog comment by a person who professes to be a believer. Of course, the Blog Manager didn’t approve the comment. But it inspired this post. The next time you hear someone slam a fellow Christian or put them in a bad light, ask them: Do you personally know the person you’re slamming? And what was his/her response when you shared your accusations with him/her over coffee? You’ll quickly find that... Read more

Love him or loathe him, Donald Trump is a force of nature. Whatever can be said of him either negative or positive, the man is dramatic. Especially during interviews. But there is one man who trumps Trump. He first made his appearance on the 100th episode of my podcast. That’s when he first called in and the world discovered him. Then, my blog subscribers voted him in to have a full and exclusive interview with me in studio. And on... Read more

Beware those who confuse what they believe God WANTS with what God WILL DO. False prophetic words cannot be justified. Ever. Period. There are many so-called “prophets” who predicted a Trump second term. And now, instead of apologizing, they are blaming God’s people. I wrote about this specific problem on December 3, 2020 in “Prophetic Nonsense” – you can read it HERE. If you find it helpful, share it. Read more

In 1 Corinthians 1, Paul calls Jesus Christ the Wisdom of God. Jesus is the incarnation of wisdom. In Ephesians 3, Paul uses the phrase, the manifold (which can be translated “many colored”) wisdom of God. Jesus Christ, the embodiment of wisdom, is multi-colored. That means that Christ reveals Himself in infinite variety, because His riches are “unsearchable” and His fullness cannot be exhausted. The following images portray 5 different shades of Jesus as told by five different women who found Him in a unique way, each... Read more

Those who have read my books Revise Us Again, Jesus: A Theography, and From Eternity to Here, are aware that those who follow Jesus Christ are not under the Law. Instead, we’ve been given the Spirit of the living God who fulfills the Law in and through us. Consequently, the ceremonial laws of the Old Testament era have been done away with in Christ. The New Testament is clear that those laws were merely “shadows” pointing to Jesus. That said,... Read more

“If Christians cannot extend grace through faithful presence within the body of believers, they will not be able to extend grace to those outside.” ~ James Davison Hunter Recently, someone asked me the following question. “Frank, if I had to summarize your ministry, it would be that Jesus is more than we ever imagined and we can learn to live by His life which is evidenced by treating others the same way we want to be treated. Would you say... Read more

If you are making an impact on people’s lives, you will . . . (not might) . . . attract haters. So if you don’t want any haters in your life, don’t speak, don’t write, don’t blog, don’t podcast . . . oh, and don’t breathe. Haters are either fueled by jealousy, low self-esteem (which is trying to assert itself), or an inflated-ego (which has been bruised somehow and elicits bluster). Every once in a while I’ll get a flaming email from... Read more

Over the last two years, Dallas Willard’s publishers sent me copies of most of his books. You can take a look at his full catalog here on Amazon. I believe that had I met Dallas while he was alive, we’d become fast friends. Our spiritual interests and influences are much the same. And our perspectives align in most places. Note that I say “most” because we have our disagreements (who doesn’t). For instance, I don’t believe soul and spirit are... Read more

Please read this entire post so you don’t miss any of the pertinent points. The links included in the article provide more detail. Countless people who have read my older books, Pagan Christianity (released January 2008) and Reimagining Church (released August 2008), still write to this ministry and ask, “I live in [city], where can I find an organic church?” (Some people use the term “home church” or “house church” – but I don’t advocate either. More on that later.) My answer... Read more
