James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. 1 John 1:9-10 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives. These verses make it clear that we should take opportunities to confess our sins to each other. If we do so with sincerity and with a repentant spirit, God is faithful to forgive us of our sins. There is a website that makes sharing your Christian confession easy. You can also read other people’s confessions too. Visit www.myconfession.com.

Article re-printed with permission from Changing the Face of Christianity. A few months ago, I picked up a religious “Tract” that was left by a person with very good intentions…to “save” a soul. For those of you who’ve never heard of “Tracts” or never seen one, it’s a small pamphlet that talks about Jesus and [...]

Instead of asking WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?)…start asking WIDWJWD (Will I Do What Jesus Would Do?). To be a true disciple of Jesus Christ, we must back up our talk with Actions. 1 John 3:18.

What happens when a family member walks away from the faith? Do we shun them or do we love them? We do damage to the person and tarnish the image of our faith when we reject them. So, LIVE the faith and love them through their difficult time.

We meet people all the time. All too often I feel like the person shaking my hand has no interest in me at all. They don’t take the time to “SEE” me. They are usually gazing off in the distance for the next hand to shake. I’m left feeling like “Mr. Cellophane” from the musical Chicago. To establish relationships with other people, and to show them you care, start by looking them in the eye.

We can change the face of Christianity by loving others…ESPECIALLY when we aren’t feeling loved ourselves.

She said “Given that you were an atheist, how do you suggest Christians should approach an atheist”? Now, I knew how NOT too…but how to? I thought for [...]

Should we practice holy ostracism because someone is homosexual? absolutely not. That only feeds the negative perception…that “we won’t associate with those sinners”..and that we are somehow better than them.
