We (followers of Christ) have fixed pleasure and duty as polar opposites. Somehow the idea of duty, meaning obedience to God, is something that we pursue out of obligation. Obedience to God has come to be known by some professing followers of Christ as a tedious, non-interesting activity. Somehow the bible has been presented in recent…

Visit Them In Their Distress
“Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.” (James 1:27, NASB) After six years, I still revisit this prayer I prayed on January 14, 2010. I take a moment to examine my heart…

Lazy Glutton
Can there be anything worse than being called a glutton? Apparently so. How about a “lazy glutton”? I suppose as the new year approaches many of the local gyms will begin to cash in on appealing to the “lazy gluttons” who will pay big bucks for an annual gym membership that will only get used…
