Why Fear Now

By Rachael Sales  

I often find it mind boggling that I lived in more boldness and freedom when I was in the world than I do now that I am a Christian.  I know that this statement is against the Christian code of conduct, but nevertheless it is true. I am courageous enough to admit it.

Love and Sacrifice

By Courtney Rogers  

When most people hear the word “Bible” they think of a big, scary rule book. Because of this, sometimes God is misunderstood as this all-powerful being that simply sits up in the sky and casts judgment on people. Is there really more to the Bible than just a bunch of rules?

Saving All The Seats

By Ronnie Wyatt  
 
A man lay sprawled across three entire seats in the posh theatre. When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the man, "Sorry, sir, but you're only allowed one seat."
 
The man groaned but didn't budge.
 
The usher became impatient. "Sir, if you don't get up from there I'm going to have to call the manager."
 
Again, the man just groaned, which infuriated the usher who turned and marched briskly back up the aisle in search of his manager.  In a few moments, both the usher and the manager returned and stood over the man. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move him, but with no success. Finally, they summoned the police. The cop surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right buddy, what's your name?"
 
"Sam," the man moaned.
"Where you from, Sam?" asked the officer.
 
With pain in his voice Sam replied, "The balcony."

Just do better than the others, be good and it will all work out fine. The problem this presents is:

Who says how much goodness is required?
Who is keeping score?
And at any given moment, how can I know where I stand?

Hello My Name Is

By Ronnie Wyatt  

Hello, my name is Ronnie Wyatt. Well, it’s not actually “Ronnie”. My REAL name is Ronald. For some reason, my parents decided to give me a REAL name AND a NICKNAME at the time of my birth. In fact, they told people, “His name is Ronald, BUT we are going to call him Ronnie.” I don’t understand that. If they liked “Ronnie” so much, why didn’t they just go with that one in the first place? It’s like they wanted me to have two separate identities. On one hand I am the “official document signing, Ronald” and on the other hand, I am the “happy go lucky, Ronnie”. On one hand, I am about “Business” and, I guess on the other hand, I am supposed to be about, “Woooooooo”.
