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 ...

Itsy Bitsy Spider – A life lesson
When my daughter was very small, she had a favorite song she would sing, very loudly, often for hours at a time. This song is one most, if not all, of us know very well. “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”. Just mentioning the song has many of you singing it right now. Like many children, my daughter, when she was first learning the song, replaced some of the correct words she could not remember, with something else so she could continue the song. In her case she added the words “whumpa whumpa”. Here is how it went...

I find myself often speaking to Him in the imperative when I pray: "Lord, help me." "Lord, make this right." "Lord, forgive me." As I filter these requests through the leper's approach, they suddenly sound more like commands to me. I wonder how they feel to Jesus? These words come from years of familiarity with Jesus. Familiarity is supposed to be a good thing. It should feel like a great shirt that you would never get rid of, even though it has holes in it and the color faded about a thousand washes ago. I've known Him since childhood. But the problem begins when my reliance upon Him degenerates to a degree of expectation.

Thursday, August 23, 2007
When was the last time you read through the Lords Prayer slowly? To actually think about what it says. If you’re like me you have heard it and said it a thousand times. Maybe you’ve even listened to someone preach about why it’s organized the way that it is. Today I noticed the most common word in our language tucked ever so neatly in the middle of the prayer. That word though might be the most important word in the whole passage. The word? Think you know? It’s simply two letters, A-S. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Have you ever stopped to think about the implications of those words?
