Pet Peeves: Context is Key. →
mikestoleyobike: christianblogpetpeeves: Guys, here’s the thing. We are addressing the Christians who idolize these things or people upon the blogs. Notice how we said, “It’s the worst when Christ is never mentioned except for 1 in every 50 posts.” Can you honestly not see the problem with that? Can you not understand our concerns when… Your heart is in the right place, but I’m not quite...

We often look down on people who look down on people. We often cry out that Jesus died for the the sinners, prostitutes, and tax collectors! Very rarely do we have compassion on the self righteous, the Pharisees, and the legalists. Remember- we were once lost like them. They need the gospel just like everyone else (Romans 2).

Law and Gospel.
“Only he is an orthodox teacher who not only presents all articles of faith in accordance with Scripture, but also rightly distinguishes from each other the Law and Gospel.” -Walther  The law is good, glorious, true, perfect, knowable, holy (Isaiah 42:21, Psalm 19:7-9).

Pray for Ian
I know many of you are deeply touched and moved to tears by the beautiful Christlik marriage of  ”The Story of Ian and Larissa” video on Desiring God.  If you could send them encouragement, let them know you are praying, or buy a “Pray for Ian” t-shirt, that would be awesome!  * The shirts are $7 and proceeds go to the 2 boys they sponsor (their church/school). You can...

"But we're supposed to love!" →
A misunderstanding of what love truly is. I hear many Christians constantly say the statement above over and over again without having one idea of what love really is.  To them, it means being all lovey-dovey and nice.  But no, it’s not about being nice or being lovey-dovey. Let’s get this straight. You are not loving when you hold back the truth.  You are not loving when you constantly drown...

earthstranger: This is lengthy but worth reading every single bit of it. GUYS, I encourage you to read this! jaroberson: “Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.”  (Hebrews 13:4) Let me start off by saying a few things… My friend was talking to me about why he wanted to save kissing until...
