2 Samuel 1:25-26I've heard people try to use David's affection for Jonathan to suggest that homosexual love is okay. The only thing that is okay according to this relationship, is strong affection to a person of the same sex. This cannot be confused with homsexual sex. Though David lamented that Jonathan's love was more wonderful than that of women that he loved, you have to know that

A lot of people say things like, "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger", so we automatically jump to the conclusion that trials, troubles, tribulations must come to make you stronger, which in turn leads us to the erroneous conclusion that God must be the one sending the trials, troubles and/or tribulations.

Does God Hate Divorce? It has been long held by religious people that God hates divorce based on an inaccurate interpretation of Malachi 2:16, as well as verses in Matthew and Mark. So in this article, we'd like to take a real hard look at this question. When I first heard this, I was married and I was in a pretty bad marriage, but in my mind, divorce wasn’t an option. So I wanted to find

This is cross-posted from a Facebook discussion board 1,000,000 Christians praying for Obama. I didn't want it to get lost in the noise...I don't know if anyone else has mentioned what I'm about to say, but here goes. I've been amazed at how many white friends of mine who are Christians are really struggling with the Obama presidency while most of my black Christian friends are elated. For the

Notes from message "More Is Possible Part 27: Tithing Lesson 5" Pastor Mike is continuing his teaching from his book "Rich Is Not A Bad Word" Tithing Lesson 5 A. Tithing is the infrastructure, the foundation, the basic framework that we build everything upon Tithing is not just a practice, but it is an everlasting eternal principle.. As Christians under the new covenant, we are called and

I've been sitting in a meeting at a rather prestigious resort facility watching a group talk about watches. I have a pretty nice Fossil watch that I've had for quite some time and I paid about $90 for the watch in 2001. However, the watch that they're talking about here (and I know you're probably thinking Rolex, but its not) is a very nice watch and I've heard prices thrown around from
