Q&A – What is God’s relationship to time?
Answer: We live in a physical world with its four known space-time dimensions of length, width, height (or depth) and time. However, God dwells in a different dimension—the spirit realm—beyond the perception of our physical senses. It’s not that God isn’t real; it’s a matter of His not being limited by the physical laws and dimensions that govern our world (Isaiah 57:15). Knowing that “God is spirit” (John 4:24), what is His relationship to time?In Psalm 90:4, Moses used a simple yet profound analogy in describing the timelessness of God: “For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day ...
Michael Catt Interview (Creator of Facing The Giants and Fireproof)
Last week, I got an email from a literary agency asking me if I would be interested in interviewing Michael Catt. Many of you may not know who he is. He is the Senior Pastor at Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA and the creator of movies such as Facing The Giants, Fireproof and the newly announced production Courageous that will be hitting the big screen next year. God has moved in and through his church to be an encouragement to many, so I sat down with him today to discuss his role as a pastor, an author and ...
MIKESCHAIR Interview
As the world looks in on Christianity today, they are looking for honesty and for sincerity. Too often, what they have found is hypocrisy in those who profess to be followers of Christ. As a new generation of bands hits the forefront in Christianity today, we are seeing a transparency that has never been seen before. MIKESCHAIR is one band who is definitely not afraid to openly discuss who they are, hoping that in their journey with the Lord, others may relate and come to know Him as well. MIKESCHAIR formed while they were students at Belmont University. The Lord has ...
Father of the Decade
As I began to consider this concept, I thought it would be fairly easy. After all, how many fathers are there in the world? There must be many that stand out. How much news has been reported in the last ten years? There must be great fathers among the reports. Soon after beginning my research, I realized this was going to be a difficult, if not impossible, task. There are fathers in the news alright. Recently there was Dr. Umaru Abdulmutallab, the father of Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, otherwise known as the "underpants bomber", or the "undergarments bomber", or something like that. He is ...
Interview – Phil Wickham
A few weeks ago, I took a silent retreat into the North Carolina wilderness to get alone with God and to allow him to speak to my heart. I took a copy of 1 cd on my ipod, Heaven and Earth which is Phil Wickham’s latest album that releases on November 17. God spoke to me in many ways through scripture but He allowed Phil’s music to bring me to a point of true worship. I sat down with Phil this morning to talk a little bit about who he is, his career and what inspires his songwriting abilities. History Q- Give ...
Was I wrong about dream girls?
A while ago I wrote an article saying that I thought that “dream girls” didn’t exist. I think about 5 people read it and left some comments, but overall, it was probably just left alone. It was a pretty brutal article, maybe offensive, someone said “cynical and bitter,” but I was really trying to be [...]

Reign O’er a Kingdom in Ruin
One nugget of Christian rhetoric I have always had the toughest time understanding is “giving everything to God.” What was so frustrating about this is that “giving everything to God” sounds like the right thing to do, and here I don’t even know the implications of the statement! My visceral response is to pack up all my belongings and give them to the church. Or perhaps to quit my job and say I had given it to God. The Peace Corps seems to fit the bill for that too, I should enlist (or whatever it is they call it). No. That isn’t all there is to it. Luckily, Jesus shed some light on what it is to “give everything to God.” In the gospel of Luke, Jesus shared his perspective on giving God complete ownership of one’s self...

MIKESCHAIR formed while they were students at Belmont University. The Lord has opened many doors for them and as they walk through those doors, they sing about their faith and even about the doubts and questions that they have along the way. We recently caught up with Mike of MIKESCHAIR to talk about where the Lord is taking them and how the Lord is using them.

Cool Website: thebricktestament.com – Lego Bible
Thebricktestament.com displays illustrated bible stories using legos. From the story of Job to Jesus walking on water, there are over 30 biblical stories shown on the site. I still am not sure of the intentions of thebricktestament as many of the stories seem to be of a mocking nature and involve racy humor. Regardless, the creators have obviously spent a lot of time putting these together and often use clever ways to tell the story using familiar lego pieces. The lego stories are also published in books sold on the website.
