Why I Don't Care What You Think of My Writing*
by Dwight Clough
11/20/2009 / Writing
*And why that should be great news for you
What I'm about to tell you will change your writing career. Most writers secretly hope their work might be good enough to be published, and maybe even to become a best seller. Most writers tentatively share excerpts with fellow writers hoping their dreams of glory will be affirmed, secretly fearing they will not.
Not me.

Blue Christmas
by Karen Macor
11/19/2009 / Holidays
I have a confession to make. It's a deep, dark, secret that blemishes my soul. It's a secret that makes me sad. It makes me depressed, and weighs heavy on my heart. I've hidden it for years, and until recently I've been ashamed of it. Finally, I have come to grips with it. I have figured out why I have this problem, and I have figured out what I'm going to do about it. I have to confess; I hate Christmas.

Come to think of it, maybe thats why Jesus said your own enemies will be that of your household. Do we really hear what He was saying?

Job security no longer exists, but the way we view jobs has also changed. Very few people stay in one career (let alone the various jobs within that career) for very long.

Changing your Drinking Habits
by Kristin Hanley
11/18/2009 / Health

Blindly Walking
by Kristin Hanley
11/18/2009 / Poetry
So many followers of Christ misunderstand the purpose of their walk or the true leader of their purpose. They have allowed the world's images to blur their vision and the deceiver has dimmed their lights. Yet when we seek the Lord, he will redirect our paths and lead us back to our mission.

Why won't God heal amputees?
by Jim Barringer
11/14/2009 / Christian Apologetics
Google.com has a feature where you can type in the first few words of a phrase you want to search for, and suggestions will drop down, indicating the most common searches that begin with those words. Typing "Why won't" brings a variety of choices from "Why won't my parakeet eat diarrhea" to "Why won't my hydrangea bloom." One of them is "Why won't God heal amputees?" I've wondered things like that before - never about amputees, specifically, but in general.

The Divorce of Marriage
by Yuri Solomon
11/14/2009 / Marriage
Marriage may be optional or disposable in our minds, but this is anything but a reality. The pain is real; the cost is high, and the pathology is virtually unstoppable.
When marriage in youth is postponed for social and material achievement, there is practically nothing left around which to build and grow a marriage. ...rest assured that the Christian life will always bring us to the choice of seeking our pleasure or seeking God's glory, and both cannot be sought simultaneously.

Dear Tyra: Let's get fiercesome real here, OK!
by Robert Randle
11/14/2009 / Womens Interest
The issue of obesity, women's health and the societal attitudes and mistreatment they face as an overweight person is nothhing new, but how should these issues be brought out in public discussion is another matter. Is going around masquerading as plus size, 350 pound female to see the reactions of onlookers the best way to serve the needs of those women who suffer from this condition? Somehow the idea of wearing a 'fatsuit' is in a sense being disingenuous and lacks the seriousness and credibility that an actual obses person would be able to bring to light, and to reshape or reframe the conversation as well as offer solutions to this most underreported and tolerated form of discrimination.

Kindess that leads to Repentance?
by March Villareal

Chris Tomlin sings an awesome song called "Kindness". The first line of the chorus comes from the end of Romans 2:4 "not realizing that God's kindness leads us to repentance". I've always looked at that sentence with a curious eye, as if I have not yet completely understood it. Not doubting it at all, but rather, I knew that there was a lot more to it than is initially seen.

Baptism in the Name of Jesus [Yeshua]
by Robert Randle
11/10/2009 / Devotionals
One of the most widely practiced liturgical rites of the Christian Church is baptism by immersion in water. In almost all cases the candidate has these words spoken to them before they go under the water, namely, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." While this 'Trinitarian' formula is widespread, there is another group of believers who baptize in the name of "Jesus [Yeshua]" only.

God Is Not Simple
by Jim Barringer
11/10/2009 / Christian Apologetics
I don't mean to make it sound like there are no rules in the Bible, but Jesus is pretty open about the fact that the rules that matter most are "Love the Lord your God" and "Love your neighbor as yourself." I don't know if you've ever tried loving someone, especially someone who's hard to love, but it's a lot more difficult than just following a few rules. Sometimes I think I would rather have the rules.
