Please stop. Stop using Jesus as an excuse to justify feelings. Stop using Bible memes to empower your actions. Stop using Scripture as the guide for emotional responses. JUST STOP. Maybe it’s all the news coming out. Maybe it’s the extra cup of coffee I had earlier. Maybe it’s the fact that some people are…
You are not listening. But you are not listening. Or most of us anyway. I’m trying. I really am. I want to hear – new ideas, new experiences, new revelations. But the more you SHOUT at me, the harder it is to hear you. I want to engage. But you turn off the one line…
Do you ever wonder if God is real? Or is that just me? When you pray and you study and you rinse and repeat until you feel like it’s all you are doing … But it all stays the same. Seeing God At Work Yesterday, I had to adjust my plans to get everyone where…

Time machines exist only in science fiction, and even the Doctor tells you that you can’t…
