    Diving Into the Proof
    Examining and taking charge of your faith makes it yours. Yes, the Faith does not make real that which you place the faith in. The true power of faith comes from Faith that is embedded in the truth. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

    The Wrong Jesus: Fact, Belief, Legend, Truth … Making Sense of What You’ve Heard
    When we do find those intersection points between religious beliefs and what can be shown from the past, our faith can be invigorated. This is definitely what’s taken place in my life. Although my mental portrait of Jesus is incomplete, more and more of my questions are being answered (or re-answered), and I’m more amazed and in awe of the person of Jesus than ever before

      Tim, God bless you Brother. I just had a question regarding your podcast on honouring parents. Maybe you can give me a some advice or shine some light were I stand biblically. 14 years ago I gave my life to Jesus. When my parents found out they went crazy. They did not want me going on o church or hanging around Born again bilvers. So I got through my teenage years the best I could loving God in the one hand but on the other under the authority of my mum and dad as I was only 14 and doing sinful things like partying night clubs and all that. Now this day and age I'm fully devoted follower of Christ. My parents still are not born again they don't like the fact that I am active in ministry and graduated through bible college. 1 year ago my mum and dad try to attack me, over a disagreement I was busy in Bible college doing the last two units of the program I took on double the load. I was doing pastoral ministry and hospital visits to someone from the church who's baby got sick and had a life and death situation. I was preaching and teaching also doing music on the keyboard and leading meeting in ushering. And in the middle of all this I had one of the pastors was on holiday and I had to go to work with a Buisness that I run in roof construction than in the middle of that jhave time for my 4 year old son and my lovly wife. Now they got neglected, but I was neglected also by them growing up, no love shown. Any way they try's to asult me and my wife whil my weird was pregnant. We locked our selfs in the car and drove off. A couple of moths later I tried contacting my mum. She did want nothing to do with me so I sent her a heart felt apology and so now that Iv done that that was 11 months ago since I tryied . The eldership has now stood me down from position until I reach out again to reconcile. How do I still honour them in light of all this. And is it ok that Iv been stood down until it's fixed I feel hurt by the elders. Also on top of all that we had twin girls born 6 months ago and they haven't phoned to ask about the twins or anything. How do I feel with this am I in error.

        No matter what and how your relationship is/was with your parents, whether you agree with them or not, you will always have to honor them. That is a command. As far as the elders? They are not seeing or willing to see the issue on both sides.

        Luke Kefford, I have been in similar circumstances in my younger days and can empathize with your struggles. Without being able to talk to your parents or elders, I doubt any wise person would be able to give you the answer you seek. As I said, I have had similar experiences and can tell you it would be best sense you received council from your elders, that if you have questions how to go about all this, you should be getting insight from them. They are the ones who commanded you to make the attempt with your parents. Consider the wisdom of Hebrew 13.17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls and will give an account for their work. Let them do this with joy and not with complaints, for this would be no advantage for you. You are no longer under the authority of your parents, yet you should be able to honor them. You are, however under the authority of your elders, and unless they are asking you to sin, your best interests and further fruitfulness in the kingdom would be best served obeying and honoring your elders.

          Four Sources of Discord in Your Church - Tim Challies
          Every church is at every time in danger. Every church is in danger of disruption and disunity when Christian turns on Christian or Christian turns away from Christian. In Paul’s letter to Titus he offers four sources of discord and warns us to avoid them (“But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.”). Here, for your consideration, are four sources of disunity that may just exist in your church. Foolish Controversies. …

                Joy Is for the Generous - Tim Challies
                Money can’t buy happiness, right? We have all heard the maxim and on an intellectual level know it’s true. But still, it certainly looks like money could purchase us a little fix of joy. We have no trouble conjuring up a fantasy in which we are both filthy rich and overwhelmingly happy. And it’s no great work to dream up another scenario in which we’re dirt poor and wretchedly unhappy. So just what is the connection between money and happiness, …
