chasing them away
Reading blogs gives me a chance to step into the lives of others. I often come across many Christians who bash gathering in church for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons are painfully legitimate and some are simply unwilling to stay and make a difference because they come to be served, instead of [...]

READ 1 John 5:11-12 And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. [...]
just an ordinary man
Brandon Cole is an ordinary man. He goes to work Monday through Friday, takes his son fishing or plays softball on Saturdays, and faithfully attends the church down the road each Sunday. And sometimes, the following Monday, I hear from the other guys, he loses his temper. Like I said, Brandon Cole is an ordinary [...]

There’s been lots of activity here at BibleDude.net over the last several months looking for short stories on one topic… justice. Back in August 2009 we ran a little creative writing challenge on justice for an upcoming The Idea Camp conference on Compassion and Justice. In that challenge readers submitted all kinds of creative writing [...]

(Note: This was originally written shortly after the release of the first iPhone.) Why is the iPhone such a hot item these days? Whether you’re rushing out to get one or not, you must admit that it’s got some crazy, cool functionality. One thing about the iPhone that really interests me is all of the [...]

![why i'm going to #haiti [a personal testimony]](http://bibledude.net/wp-content/uploads/life-in-haiti-100x100.jpg)
I can’t wait to get down to Haiti! And I’m praying that this is just the first of many trips to a place that I’ve been wanting to get to for a really long time. Haiti is the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere. The average person in that country lives in such extreme poverty [...]
[the case for christmas] conclusion

As Lee Strobel closes the book, he points out that even with all of the evidence that indicates that it was the Messiah that was born in that manger, it is all meaningless unless you consider it in light of Easter. It’s not enough to believe that a great teacher, healer, or even a prophet was [...]

music monday: jason castro, hallelujah
This is a special music monday! That’s because in addition to the song itself, I have to opportunity to share the testimony of the artist! And, in ‘honor’ of American Idol starting its new season this week, I thought that it would be appropriate to share an American Idol performance from last season. Jason Castro [...]
