Posted on April 15, 2016 by Kurtis Karr

Does God Test Us And Why?

Posted on April 13, 2016 by Kurtis Karr

Does God test us? The Bible says He does. But why, when He already knows men’s hearts?[1 Kings 8:39, Jeremiah 17:9-10, Psalm 44:21, Luke 16:15, Acts 15:8, Romans 8:27] Clearly testing must be for our own benefit. In testing,  we come … Continue reading →

You Should Be Proud Of Yourself!

Posted on April 13, 2016 by Kurtis Karr

Have you ever heard someone with well meaning say ‘you should be proud of yourself’? Wrong! You should never be proud of yourself. Are you a Christian? Do you think Jesus was proud of anything he did? He worked miracles … Continue reading →

I’ll Pray For You…

Posted on March 27, 2016 by Kurtis Karr

Even as a Christian, I often find this phrase offensive if uninvited – especially so if there is some sort of disagreement involved. It seems to me to be just a passive-aggressive way of saying, “I’m telling God on you”. … Continue reading →

In the End, Does Everyone Get What They Deserve?

Posted on March 2, 2016 by Kurtis Karr

Aren’t We All Just a Little Religious?

Posted on September 25, 2014 by Kurtis Karr

I hear people say all the time that they are not at all religious. I don’t believe a word of it. Religion is hardwired into our basic DNA. Some call it superstition. We all have it to some extent. What … Continue reading →

Does The Bible Say That All Suicides Go To Hell?

Posted on September 17, 2014 by Kurtis Karr

I don’t really understand where the supposedly “Christian” idea that all suicides go to Hell comes from. But it’s certainly not Biblical. The Bible lists at least seven people who committed suicide. Some were heroes – some where villains. But … Continue reading →

The Dark Side of Christianity

Posted on September 3, 2014 by Kurtis Karr

The truth is there is really no Dark Side to Christianity. If it is uncompassionate, unkind, bigoted, hateful, hypocritical, selfish, prideful or ignoble it is simply not Christian. To call it so is to dress a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Cafeteria Christian, Indeed!

Posted on September 2, 2014 by Kurtis Karr

I sometimes hear the derogatory term “cafeteria Christian” bandied about in Christian circles. The irony is that it is almost always used in hypocritical judgment of someone else’s lifestyle. Truly, anyone who claims that they do not pick and choose … Continue reading →
