This article was sent to me from a friend who knows of my rant against many churches today where money is a more frequent topic of discussion than is salvation!
DONNIE MCCLURKIN GOES OFF ON THE CHURCH!!!
Perfecting Church, Freeport , New York
This past week, popular preacher, recording artist and pastor, Donnie McClurkin, went on record to [...]

What many look at in nature to support evolution is actually adaptation and specialization. What scientists have looked for over the decades has been proof of true evolution—that is, evidence of a mid-stage in a species or between species. Specifically, we can find eggs, pupae, nymphs, and adults in insects, depending on the insect and [...]

Is this your pastor? OK, so maybe your church leader is a different gender or race, but this could still be your leader. What do I mean? Simply this—the church in America is under a gag order instituted by the IRS and out of fear of losing their tax-exempt status, church leaders toe the line.
Now, [...]

Why do they receive a paycheck out of what is given by the congregation? Can the leadership not make a living any other way? Do they really serve in such a capacity as they cannot sustain themselves or their families any other way?
Perhaps it’s because of the number of hours a day they make themselves [...]

While I think I’ve heard just about enough on Michael Jackson, hearing the news about Steve McNair was not the
change I would’ve hoped for. With the latest information, it sounds as if a girlfriend who found out her lover was not getting a divorce and would not be taking care of her as his new [...]

Supporters of a monetary tithe almost invariably point to how the US is no longer an agrarian society. They contend that we as a society no longer produce from the ground and therefore are to tithe on our income. Some take it further and say it should be on our “increase”, whether that be income, [...]

My wife and I were discussing tithing again yesterday and we counted off the various categories we could think of:
Those who don’t give anything to a church
Those who give something from time to time as an “offering”
Those who “tithe” but don’t adhere to a 10%-definition for it’
Those who “tithe” 10% on their net income
Those who [...]

Sanctity of Life means just that… all human life is sacred and only God has the right to take that life. With this position, I mean the life of the unborn, the life of the aged and infirm, AND the life of those who take the lives of others. That would include those who perform [...]

Blog topics come to me through online news, radio, observation, or life events. So this morning I found myself caught between “Obama Tackles Abortion”, “we should not fear failure”, and “Church gives fresh meaning to ‘offering’ plate”. All three of these deserve mention and examination, but only one of them wins for now. I have limited time [...]
