Q&A: John 14:14
I have a relative who has been grilling me about some verses and brought up John 14:14, which he says can't be true since we clearly don't get everything we ask for from God. Do you have any insight? Do I have any insight? I have an opinion about everything. In...
It’s Easier To Be A Zombie
I like the Walking Dead, I mean who doesn’t like zombies being mowed down during the apocalypse. What is easy about being a Zombie is that your life is over, you just walk around looking for something living to eat its brains…that’s it, nothing else. That is how a lot...
Q&A: Dating an Unbeliever
I would like to know your thoughts on a believer dating an unbeliever. I've talked to several people of faith, and been looking through scripture, and cannot find anything concrete. Please give me your honest opinion about this. When you say "people of faith" I am...
HALLOWEEN IS FOR MISSION
This week is Halloween, and like every year at Element we encourage you to see it as an opportunity to be missional to your neighbors (which means find a way to participate). Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has...
It’s A Question of Definition Part II (Consumption or Love)
In the last blog I talked about how we are too often defined by what we consume and not our legacy that we are to leave behind us. This misunderstanding of our calling has led ultimately to our misunderstanding of everything including love. It is why today fathers...
It’s A Question of Definition
I’ve been wanting to talk about something for awhile, its more like a soapbox type issue for me so I have been waiting until I can work it in on a Sunday morning...but that won’t happen for awhile so I am going to blog about it. Sunday morning I was talking to a young...
Spinning Wheels
Do ever feel like you are just doing the same thing doing the same thing over and over doing the same thing over and over in your life and yet everything is still the same and nothing changes? Maybe a bit like a rat in wheel that runs and runs and never goes anywhere...
What’s All The Fuss?
It’s the oddest thing when I run into Christians, who claim to be followers of Jesus for years, and yet have never been baptized. Please don’t take that as a judgment against you if you haven’t, I am simply stating that it puzzles me because it is one of the concrete...
Conscience VS Holy Spirit
Last Sunday we talked about the Stupid Summer misconception that our Conscience Should Be Our Guide, I am so surprised only one person asked me what the Holy Spirit's role was in all this. I tried to keep the message simple, expecting more people to ask, but only one...
Jesus Is A Liberal?
I get some bizarre emails from some bizarre people (that would be you). People are always asking my opinions on things I really have no idea about (like stocks, cars, unladen weight of European swallows), but every once in a while I get a question about something I do...
