"The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of destruction assailed me; the cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me."

-Psalm 18:4-5

I will be bold enough to say that the "man after God's own heart" battled a dark place in his mind....

“The Vedas tell us, if we sow goodness, we will reap goodness; if we sow evil, we will reap evil.”

-Sivaya Subramuniyaswami

I guess it would be just as easy to say that, “What goes around, comes around,” when trying to understand the concept of karma.  This eastern conce...

“What are we here for, to have a good time with Christians or to save sinners?” 

-Malla Moe (1863-1953)

I do not know a lot about the life of Malla Moe but I do know that her blunt personality made her speaking unwelcome in many traditional churches of the time and she h...

"Agree with God, and be at peace;

            thereby good will come to you.”

-Job 22:21

At first glance one might think this to be a proverb useful for good relations with God but it is a deadly misconstrued concept many Christians believe.

Job was a righteous man. God ev...

Suffering that is not due to a consequence of a particular action, wrong, or mistake is a terrifying thing.  The problem is that we do not have control over this type of suffering. The news of an unforeseen cancer diagnosis or the lost of a teenager in a car wreck hits...

Oh what happy day when Jesus’ resurrection power corkscrew-roundhouse kicked Death, Sin, Satan and his demon cousins in the neck!  His victory is our victory and on APRIL 21st at 11am, we celebrate Jesus!

So what do we need to do to have the awesomest Easter Ever?...

How we treat sin is evidence toward if we are truly children of God.

One great confusion relating to salvation is how much an individual is responsible for and how much God is responsible for.  This tension is present all throughout God’s Word.  An example of this tensi...

A frying pan to the knee cap should do the trick!  Just kidding.

Nobody can makeanyone love Jesus.  Only the grace of God poured out upon someone through His Spirit, receiving the gospel, and realizing the imperfection of our self can lead anyone to repent, worship...

What comes to your mind when you think of Thanksgiving? Is it the excitement of delicious feasts, the gathering of the entire family, or staying out all night for Black Friday deals. Or does it bring scary thoughts of how busy and hectic we are all about to become in t...

It is the most wonderful time of the year.  And for a lot of us that does not just mean Christmas, that means hunting season. There is some unexplainable joy inside of the hunter as they gets out to scout, work plots, and get gear together. Being outside in crisp cool...

Words explain things. They help us express our self in conversation and in written form.  If you have been in church recently then you have probably heard the term, “gospel.” Your pastor might have even explained the core foundations of this gospel to you in a way that...

“See, we have left everything and followed you.” –Peter

Leaving something behind that is good is difficult.  Ask the countless men and women wearing the uniform.  Ask the men who are heading offshore to work after being around their families for a short time.  Ask the m...

Nothing too important to know really; except neither of them are really any type of "god" so that hopefully clears some things up.

But there is a real God.  He loves you and we would LOVE for you to come and listen to us rap to his glory this Sunday at PHBC.  That would...

Was your goal today to live out love?  What does it even look like to live out the action of Jesus centered love?  Paul gives us three in 1Timothy 1:5.  He says, “The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.”...
