"If I Were Going to Get a Tattoo It Would Say . . ."

Say it out loud now. Nothing is impossible with God. Do whatever it takes to get this phrase into the vernacular of your every day life. It is the genetic code of faith. Get in the habit of writing it down anywhere and everywhere. Doodle it. If you are a singer, sing it. Meditate on this declaration when you rise in the morning and when you lie down at night.

"WITH – Small Group Series Overview"

It is only when we have a Relationship WITH God that we are able to truly be satisfied in our life and in our faith. Over the next few weeks (on Oct. 24 & 28), we are going to offer you a two-part series based on an incredible book called With by Skye Jethani. This article will give you and your group leaders an overview of the key talking points from the book that we will be pulling from in the discussion guides.

"The Rapture Is There, Kind of"

There is plenty to criticize in the popular eschatological fantasies expressed in movies like this and the books that inspire them. It’s our job as scholars not to fulminate, but to be a voice of reason. Our job is to teach, to model fair-minded, empathetic examination of the scriptures, and to lead people to discover a responsible, well-informed view of things. We can’t do that when we rant that “it’s just not in the Bible.”

"Lost Religion"

Here’s what’s even more true: if you are at that place of thinking about leaving faith – “I don’t really believe anymore. I believe nothing.” I’ve been there. Most have. But you need to know that you are really just substituting another god in God’s place: most likely, you! You have a god, whether you know it or not. The question is whether it’s the One who made you or the one you are making.
