Who Am I? | LeadershipJournal.net

Great article by John Ortberg. So how do you deal with the many "you's" that you have the ability to portray? Most importantly what are your thoughts on John Calvin's statement: "it is impossible to know myself without coming to know God—and impossible to know God without coming to know myself."

Can Christians Get Tattoos?

So what are your thoughts? We have heard the answer to the question "Can Christians get tattoos?" But what about the question "Should Christians get tattoos? For those of you who have tattoos..."What made you decide to?" and for those of you who do not have a tattoo..."What keeps you from getting one?" Are there any limits to how many tattoos? Should a pastor get a tattoo? Should I get a tattoo? Well I tell you what if I get "50 comments" on this post I will think about getting a tattoo?

Being scared of Hell does not save you!

The fear of hell by itself saves nobody. Use this video to help evaluate your preaching on hell, heaven, and the gospel.

Atheist Debate Wednesday- part 2

Hey everyone I hope your ready for -part 2of the Atheist Debate. Remember for the next 6-7 weeks, every Wednesday, I will be posting portions of the most intense, challenging, edge of your seat atheist debate I have ever heard. Debating on the side of Christianity is Wretched Radio host "Todd Friel" and debating on the side of Atheism is once evangelist/Christian Dan Barker whose website can be found here. I warn you ahead of time, brace yourself. Allow this segment, along with the other segments of this debate, to prepare you for such a conversation in the future. I would pray that it stretches you and takes you outside of your comfort zone.

More thoughts on Rob Bell...

Recently I posted Rob Bell's "Love Wins" promo video. I shared with you that in the past I have struggled with what Rob Bell believes and teaches therefore, it is to no suprise to me that He would pull another rabit of bad theology out of his hat. Below I have provided a segment of Wretched Radio with Todd Friel. Sit back and listen to Todd and see if you agree or disagree... However, I would love to hear from some of you as to why you like Rob Bell, what is it that you agree with his proposed theology? Looking for some healthy conversation as iron sharpens iron!

The best 5 minutes of your day...

Grab the family. Take 5 minutes to sit down and watch.
It's worth your time. Really worth it.

Praise God that you and I have the Word of God in English. My prayer is that we have the same desire as these people to read it...and not just read it, but pass it on!
