After the earthquake in Haiti we saw many benefit concerts and songs sprout up all over the place. People also started texting donations to multiple organizations. If your life is anything like mine, I’m sure many local organizations also held collections to benefit Haiti.
These are all good and helpful things. I am confident that all of our contributions are needed and valued. However, we should not neglect our main priorities to support the people of Haiti or anyone else in need. I know this may sound harsh on the surface, but I believe that this is God’s will for our lives. Read more...
It is no secret that the earthquake in Haiti and the floods in Los Angeles have left many people questioning God. Many people simply want to know why God allows disasters to happen. Is God angry? Is he trying to punish humanity?

I was recently listening to a podcast from Creflo Dollar and he was talking about fear as it relates to the life of a Christian.

I really wish people would stop using phrases like this. It portrays God to be this selfish figure that causes death only for his personal gain. That is just not a true representation of who God is and what he is all about. Read more...
Sometimes we forget about the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on Calvary. We forget that some of us were drug users, murders and sex addicts, but God still gave his son to die so WE can live. That concept is amazing!
