On The Box: How to Prosper, Biblically

On The Box: How to Prosper, Biblically: "I’m not a fan of the prosperity message. For many years I have watched slick preachers, who rarely preach about sin, righteousness and judgment, and only exalt the cross as a means of gain, and it irks me. If planting “seeds” in bank accounts never fails to bring prosperity to the sower, how come I always have to plant seed in their soil? However, underneath the preaching of prosperity, there is a legitimate biblical principle of sowing and reaping."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 2/15/2011: "The Measure of a Life"

Harvest Daily Devotion for 2/15/2011: "The Measure of a Life": "It seems that everyone wants to know how to prolong their lives. But here is what we need to realize: God has an appointed day for our birth as well as for our death. Job, speaking to God, said, 'You have decided the length of our lives."

Stone the Preacher: "Fox Sports has called a Super Bowl TV commercial with the Bible verse John 3:16 “too religious” and declined to run it. There was even more surprise when it did air with no explanation or announcement from the network."

Harvest Daily Devotion for 2/14/2011: "Because We're Drowning"

Harvest Daily Devotion for 2/14/2011: "Because We're Drowning": "A number of years ago, I was at the beach with my son, Jonathan, who was quite young at the time. I was helping him catch waves and, as it turned out, a little riptide got hold of me. Suddenly I was no longer able to touch bottom. I realized I was getting pulled by this little riptide, and the frustrating thing was that I was so close to the shore."
