It appears as though the image of Christians in some media portrayals is not that far from the Pharisee depicted in Jesus’ parable.

Read More Broderick Rice Makes ‘Em LaughIf you asked a Christian the top three most important things about being a Christian I would doubt many would highlight their responsibility to the creation in which God placed them.

The one collection of volumes can be read and interpreted in such a variety of […]
Read More DMCD Book Review: RadicalI defy anyone who follows Christ to watch this video and remain comfortable. It should have us reflecting again on what it is to be a Christian and it’s a pity that the word ‘radical’ has to be affixed before it as though following Jesus was anything other than these requirements. For His Name’s Sake […]
Read More Sermon Jam: Radical ChristianWhen I watched this little snippet it got me thinking again about the subject heading. I also think about a Keith Green song which had the lyrics ‘If you love the Lord’.
