When Was Moral Failure Added to a Biblical Naughty List?

Last updated on: July 24, 2024 at 3:44 pm   By Shawn Paul Wood

A preacher falls from grace these days and with quickness, it's chalked up as "moral failure." Despite what's witnessed by the world, the problem doesn't lie within the depths of sin but the height of their choice. Read more

Our Fallen Leaders: Amazing Grace, But Where’s the Sound?

Last updated on: July 3, 2024 at 8:38 am   By Shawn Paul Wood

0 Comments

We are all God's children, but not all of us are leaders. Despite our walk with Christ, shouldn't we be able to receive God's amazing grace when we trip and fall? Consequences are different, but the forgiving power of God is the same. Now, let's put down the first stone, people. Read more

Titles, or earned honorifics, are everywhere in the business world. They connect people to perceived tasks. It used to be that way in the Church, but now, everyone has a fancy title. And for what again? Read more

Inside Out 2 Strikes an Emotional and Spiritual Balance

Art imitates life. That couldn't be more on display than with Inside Out 2, where Riley struggles with her mature feelings. We all do, but is it because we lack emotional intelligence, or simply a purpose as God wants us to know. Read more

Mark Driscoll is Praying for Rapture Before Election Day

Last updated on: June 5, 2024 at 9:11 am   By Shawn Paul Wood

0 Comments

Pastor Mark Driscoll is no stranger to sensationalistic headlines and strategic stunt work to garner national media attention. Yet, his latest attempt to remain relevant bemoans desperation and fear rather than an overzealous cry for freedom. You tell us. Lord Jesus we would humbly request that you return before November 5 � — Pastor Mark Driscoll (@PastorMark) May 31, 2024 From the pulpit of Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Ariz., Mark Driscoll is shouting, “Come Holy Spirit now, but…uh…can ya’ be... Read more

The Biblist: 10 Post-Apocalyptic Films Christians Can Binge

Last updated on: May 29, 2024 at 10:09 am   By Shawn Paul Wood

0 Comments

If you watch movies or binge TV series, you have seen a post-apocalyptic theme with a virus, a nuclear bomb, a plague of zombies, or even a rapture. That sounds like a need for a new "Biblist" for Armageddon productions with Christian references. Read more

Here’s Your Sign: Texas Church Rigs Study for Traffic Light

Last updated on: May 22, 2024 at 9:02 pm   By Shawn Paul Wood

0 Comments

For centuries, the local church has been the stalwart of the community and the conduit for politicians. Yet, in recent decades, churches of all sizes have taken that responsibility too far. Take Lakepointe Church in Rockwall, Texas, a suburb east of Dallas. Before the massive six-campus body took root in Rockwall, the colossus’ name was Church on the Rock. (Yes, in Rockwall; no, it was only a coincidence.) In the late 1980s through the 1990s, the 10,000-member church was pastored... Read more

Study: 1 Million Young People Leave the Church Every Year

Last updated on: May 2, 2024 at 9:15 pm   By Shawn Paul Wood

There are more young people, aged 25 and under, that believe in something other than Jesus Christ. They aren't interested in Church or its people. If we are to be the salt of the Earth, our lifestyle should make others thirsty--not parched. There are 1 million young people leaving the Church each year. It's on us to bring them back. After all, it was on us why they left. Read more
