When an umpire makes a bad call our sense of fairness has been violated. Sometimes we scream at God, "bad call" or "not fair God!" This attitude reveals some ugly things about us.

Losing Your Religion

Contributed by Gary Washburn on Jul 11, 2002

REligion and spirutality have always been at odds with one another. Do we need to lose our religion?

Losing Your Religion Romans 2:17-29 Intro: 10 years ago Bette Midler had hit song entitled, “God is watching us.” I believe it was popular because it expressed our cultural theological view. We want a god who provides but does not intrude, who protects and helps us out but does interfere with our ...read more

I'm Ok, Right?

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000

All of us need to be concerned about our spiritual health at least as much as we are about our physical well-being

I don't know about you, but if I had a doctor like Dr. Kraft in this morning's skit, I would find a new physician too. Friends, very few people want to go to a doctor who lies to them. We want to know the truth, even if it is unpleasant, so we can maybe take some action to keep the bad news ...read more

The Dangers Of Judging People Series

Contributed by Timothy Peck on Jan 4, 2001

Judging other people is dangerous because it lulls us into a false sense of security, blinds us to our own faults, and usurps God’s role as judge.

We Christians can be such "dorks" sometimes. We have a tendency to build our own little holy huddle, with our own special words and secret handshakes. If a person shows up who doesn’t know our special words, they feel like a fish out of water. No wonder so many unchurched seekers are deeply ...read more

Building On A Religious Heritage Series
