Our sex drive, our drive for intimacy, our longing to be connected, loved, to belong - is one of the most powerful forces in our lives and in our culture. When our world system threw out God’s intent for, and guidelines for how we conduct our relationships - it was like opening Pandora’s box. Somehow believers in Jesus consistently find ways to rationalize how they want to handle this area of life and why God makes an exception for them. At the core, the problem is that when it comes to this arena ...we’re atheists!

Money, success and prosperity has always been the god our world falls back on. This stuff is truly sneaky. Protecting it and creating it and loving it regularly causes people to change their political views, their honesty quotient - and their beliefs about God.

That track was love, grace, and forgiveness. Forgiveness is the single biggest relational quality Jesus spoke of - and it’s the single biggest relational struggle we have. To believe in God - is to believe in…and actually practice - forgiveness!

The Bible is THE core source of truth in the life of someone who puts their faith in Jesus. Sometimes people say they struggle to believe the Bible, but they’ve never actually read it or struggled with it. Truth is, sometimes we get quite selective in what we believe about the truth the Bible contains - especially in the realms where it contradicts our lifestyle.
