It’s been a while since we did this on jackalopekid.com. This is the part where we actually get to be the church and pray for each other. So, tell me something…

What is something that you need prayer for?

After reading the comments over on ragamuffinsoul.com to this controversial post by Carlos Whittaker (@loswhit), I see some people have different opinions on how God views sin. I see some of you think God rates sin on different levels and then some of you folks think He sees all sin at the same level. What do you think:

Does God rank sin?

I get asked alot what I believe. So, here ya go-

The Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Maker of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;

He descended into hell.

The third day He arose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost;
the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.

It’s not about denominations. It’s about Jesus.

I’m here in Indianapolis, IN for my sister’s wedding. It has me thinking about the idea of marriage and what it’s all about. With all the love and happiness and kids and kid’s soccer games and mini vans, comes the idea of divorce. I know about Continue Reading…

I’m sitting here reading about the Trinity. You know…the God three in one deal. It blows me away that our God is so awesome and can be three things at once. Some questions for you–How would you describe the Trinity and do you believe that understanding the Trinity is crucial to a strong Christian belief?

Remember that no matter-

how stressed out you get
how big the tasks seem
how confused you are
how burned out you get
how lonely or forgotten you feel

JESUS IS BIGGER THAN ALL THAT NONSENSE. no matter what.
Remember that.

Today is Friday, but let me tell you something about Wednesday night. First of all, I love Australian accents. Oh, and I love this Continue Reading…

So, my new routine has started. I’m up at 6am and in bed by 11pm. It’s hard, but I fit so many more important things into my day. I’ve always been a believer of whatever happens that it happens “just because.” And then I get COMFORTABLE with the results. But lately, I’ve seen a shift. I have seen my efforts that are put into things actually make things happen. They make a difference. It’s a hard thing to explain because God is in control of everything, yet He meets us halfway and loves our efforts. Has God shown you something in the past few days that just made you stand back and wonder in awe at how He puts things in a different perspective?

Well, this blog post isn’t about “fast” in the sense of doing something quickly. It’s that other one that scares me a little bit. It’s the one that means me giving up something that will help me spiritually, help me focus on what God is saying, Continue Reading…

When I look around in the church (and outside the church) and see everyone doing the same tech/blog/twitter thing that I do, I see TONS of gifted people. Most of them I consider better than me at a lot of different stuff. Right at that moment, almost every time, I remember that Mama to thirteen year old talk that goes something like this, Continue Reading…
