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 [...]

2. December 2009
Let me start off by saying that preaching is my favorite passion; it is what I was born to do. I never conjured this idea up to be a preacher one day and I certainly do not have the mere talents to know how to preach effectively...so God stepped in long ago and worked all of that out. When I preach, he preaches...through me...every time. There is no question that transformational preaching is a work of the Holy Spirit. That's why, when I see others speak, preach, share, teach, encourage, I sense the overwhelming power potential in words.

29. September 2009
The way that Jesus reached people always took on a different form. For some, He reached them through healing. For others, He reached them through a parable that revolved around where they were in life. He told parables about fishing when He came into contact with fishermen. He told parables about various walks of life, hoping to tie in the lessons of God to something that they could understand. Upper 90 Ministry is seeking to do the same thing, using the most global sport in the world to open the door for the message of Jesus.

17. September 2009
Last blog, we talked about writing a quality cover letter, so we’re going to focus on resumes this week. It’s important to remember that you don’t have to be the most qualified candidate to get called for an interview. You simply have to make the strongest case for yourself, and nobody should be able to do that better than you! Just like your cover letter should make the employer eager to read your resume, your resume should make him eager to meet with you face-to-face. You accomplish this by selling yourself better than the other applicants. Think of it like this: people don’t spend $100 on Nike tennis shoes because they’re the best shoes in the world. They might or might not be; I really don’t know. People buy them because the advertisers sell them! So your resume is your advertisement. You’re the marketer and the product! That said, you should tailor your resume to suit the needs of your target market (the employer). In other words, you should have a standard resume that can be adjusted slightly depending on the position you’re seeking and the personality of the hiring person.

15. September 2009
I encourage you to take a few minutes and listen to David Robinson's Hall of Fame acceptance speech. He is a class act and in a time when "Thanking God" while being honered has become a watered down tradition, David takes praising God to a whole new level. I have looked up to him for his civil service and faith ever since I was a little boy and his willingness to praise God while on the highest public pedestal is a moment I will not forget.

19. August 2009
I must admit I was less than thrilled about it. I mean, c’mon, I don’t normally do these things. It’s not my favorite thing to do. In fact, I would rather save our time and do something…I don’t know…a little less “natural.” Now don’t get me wrong, I was happy when my wife suggested we go [...]

5. August 2009
All of a sudden, it was all that everyone was talking about. Images from the video had made the cover of the New York Post. Every sports talk radio station in America was fielding calls and providing commentary on this video of ESPN sportscaster Erin Andrews. It became a craze on the internet and one of the most searched topics on internet search engines this year. There were those who could not resist looking up the video to see what they could of Erin. There were others who talked about how terrible of an act that this is and chastised the person who made the video. Which one were you? There is a deeper issue at hand...

26. June 2009
Hi Eve, my name is Max. I'm 16 years old, and as most teenage guys, am totally attracted to woman. Being a christian guy I see my Purity as a top priority in my life. But I was just wondering if woman have just as hard of time keeping their purity? Like do they struggle with the same things us guys do, or do they have a totally different set of things to fight against? Because I have been pondering lately about my future wife, and hoping and praying that she keeps her purity for me, because I am trying really hard to stay pure for her. Anything would be really awesome! Thanks a bunch:)
