Is praying to the saints stealing honor from God? Is the veneration of saints an act of idolatry that r...

What stops us from allowing God’s power to be manifest in and through us? Sin -right? Not exactly. Sin is a problem–nut not THE problem.

You and I will sin, will fall, and will fail–and perhaps fall big. When we fail and fail how we respond after that awful moment determines everything.

In TCF Episode 9 “After You Sin Big” I discuss the two ultimate responses to a big fall and why it is vital to get that response right… and if you ...

We all want more. More money, more time, more success, more prestige, more pleasure, more fun, more friends, fans, and followers… we all want more. But often the more we want the less we have. Why do we often lose what we worked so hard for? How do we get more?

Ever feel like you have nothing to offer? You want to be more but feel like less? Your lack of talents is holding you back from doing something big? Think like this and you’ll give up on God and settle for being stimulated and satiated by the world. What can a not-so-gifted-person do?

Believing that others have all of the gifts and that we have very little to offer makes us believe that we are worthless; that it is God’s fault for ...

The self-righteous pharisee.  He is convinced not only of his own holiness but also of other’s sinfulness. The self-righteous end up alone because they don’t want to be around sinners and sinners don’t want to be around them. And we all are guilty of this sin.
