How to Become a Super Hero (Capes Optional!)

by Craig Ford July 20, 2011

A hero isn’t someone who wears a crimson cape. A hero is not someone who possesses super human strength. A hero is someone who consistently does amazing things over a lifetime.

4 Spiritually Unhealthy Motives To Save

by Craig Ford July 18, 2011

Motives can be as important as actions.  The Bible often emphasizes that our answers to the “why” questions are just as important as our answers to the “what” questions.  Take giving, for example.  Someone could ask you what are you giving?  You might answer, “I’m giving x% of my income,” or “I tithe.”  Do you [...]

I listened patiently as she wept on the phone. Once she regained her composure, she managed to feebly say, “I just want to be like everyone else.”  *sobs* Moments later, she continued, “I don’t owe a single penny to a credit card company, I have money in the bank, and I don’t even have a [...]

by Craig Ford July 7, 2011

How many times have you heard a church leader say that God doesn’t need our money? I’ve heard it a lot, and so I figured I should actually think about and reflect on the phrase to see if it fits with the biblical message. The Omnipotence of God One of the terms we use to [...]
