One of the dangers of living in the lukewarm, Laodicean church culture of today is that we tend to adopt the mantra of the world regarding sin and repeat it over and over again, as truth, within our church circles. For example, "Don't ask, don't tell." Or, in other words, if you won't ask me about my sin and lack of Christian virtue and holiness, then I promise I won't ask you about yours. Then we can both live under the deception that we are saved, living the "abundant life in Christ," and that the Lord is "mighty pleased with us." Really? But the Scriptures may say something quite different. |

Roaming Through
Romans: What Does it Mean to be "In Christ"?

"In Christ." Martin Luther puts it this way: "Everything which Christ has becomes the property of the believing soul; everything which the soul has, becomes the property of Christ. Christ possesses all blessings and eternal life: they are thenceforward the property of the soul. The soul has all its iniquities and sins: they become thenceforward the property of Christ. It is then that a blessed exchange commences." But there is much more. Being "in Christ" is... well, such a profound truth that it boggles the mind to even think about it. Keen listening... |

Essential Truths:
Time to Man-Up, Dude

Sometimes when we view God we have a selfish, sinful, Laodicean tendency to think that He is just like us. After all, we bend over backwards to cut our kids slack because we want them to like us and... uh, I guess that's how God deals with us. Wrong. Then we continually make excuses for sinful behavior and just chuck it all up to the mantra of, "you know how kids are these days" or "boys will be boys" or "that's just the way I am"... and we think and pray that God views our sin the same way. Again, wrong. God is not created in our image. And it's high time to man-up. |

Some people
feel that the Scriptures no longer speak to us today.
That the answers it offers are to questions we no longer
ask. Really? Try this one on for size.

Essential Truths:
One Strange Word that Changes Everything!

Doulos. It means "slave, or one who is held in servitude as chattel (or property) of another." But there is much more. Doulos deals with a permanent relationship of servitude to another. It is one whose very existence is characterized by obedience, one whose own personal will is surrendered to the will of another. It depicts one who is completely devoted to and dependent on another. It is the exact opposite of what we honor and esteem in our culture today. And, most important, it is the type of "slave / master" relationship that we are to have with Jesus. Confused? Then keep listening. |

Preparing for the
End: Sacrificing Our Children to Demons

Psalm 106 tells of Israel's rebellion and sin and the bountiful mercy of God. But is also paints a prophetic picture of the church in America today. Consider the following: "But they mingled with the Gentiles (or heathens) and learned their works. They served their idols, which became a snare to them. They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons." Are you wondering how someone could sacrifice their children to demons? Then keep listening... because we do it everyday. |

The Holy Spirit:
The Persecution Promise

Did you know that one of the true signs of saving faith is the fact that you will face persecution? Consider the following: The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs— heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Romans 8:16-17 Are you wondering exactly what that means and how it plays out in our lives today? Good. Then keep listening. |

The Vine and the Branches,
Part II

The players from John 15: One, Jesus is the Vine... all of the Vine. He is the roots, the stalk, the leaves... literally, He is everything. Two, we, as Believers, are the branches of the Vine. We are a part of the Vine, not separate and distinct from the Vine, but connected to the Vine to serve a specific purpose. And what is that purpose? To bear the fruit of the Vine. Note, we don't create the fruit for our own use, we just bear it. And why? For what purpose? Three, for the enjoyment and glory of the Vinedresser, God the Father. But there is so much more. Keep listening. |

When the

always seem to frame the event as either right or wrong,

Sufficiency of
Scripture: Every Letter Bleeds Jesus
Friday, May 20, 2011, posted by

There is a cryptic statement Jesus makes to the religious establishment of His day that is startling if taken at face value. It goes like this: "You search the Scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me." Wow. What Jesus is saying is that all Scripture, even the genealogies of the Old Testament, testify and speak of Him. Really? Does that also include the "in your face" passages like Psalm 55? Listen and find out. |

The Joy of Believing the Lie
“I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and
State.
My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on
their own,
so that both of them together is certain death.”
George Carlin (1937-2008)
I am keenly aware of the fact that you may be wondering
about a guy who would write a book entitled,
Love Jesus, Hate
Church. You probably have some questions, maybe many
questions, about the origins of a book that makes people as
uncomfortable as
Love Jesus, Hate Church has proven to do.
You may be asking yourself, "How can you be a Christian
and use the words Love and Hate and Jesus and Church all in
the same sentence? It just seems so wrong."
And, you're right. It does seem wrong.
True. But wrong.
Yep, I would probably be wondering the same thing if
the tables were turned and I found myself in your shoes.
So, let me see if I can shed some light on who I am and
why I do what I do by telling you a bit about myself and how I
came to write
Love Jesus, Hate Church. Let me share with you,
oh, how shall I put it— the joy of believing the lie. I
believe this will give you a better grasp of who I am and why
I wrote
Love Jesus, Hate Church.
