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 ...

Simple Love

Sometimes we get caught up in what serving and loving others actually means. The messages we get from books, media, Christian thought leaders and conferences tell us that to love others we need to have some exotic adventure to a third world country to feed children or sacrifice the American life to live amongst the poor in Eastern Europe or make it our life mission to rescue women in the sex trade industry. Although all of these things are wonderful examples of loving people in Jesus' name, sometimes we get overwhelmed and just do nothing. Apathy is the real thing that gets in the way of loving others. There are opportunities everyday in our mundane lives that we can cease and surprise people with love and kindness. It is up to you to decide what to do in that moment. I decided to just sit still. Which is why I wrote this article.

So, no kiddin' there I was, knee deep in Barbie clothes and Carebears, when I checked my Facebook account. Low and behold what did I see, but an ad banner at the top flashing the message, "Hot Christian Singles Are Looking To Find You." Hmmm, I gotta see this, I think to myself. This is not because I'm a bored, lonely "housewife" but because growing up in the church "Hot" Christian Singles - especially of the female species - were something akin to a Sasquatch sighting.
