Broken | boyradd
https://boyradd.wordpress.com/2016/12/22/broken
Forgiven…Loved….Transformed! And for me, I have felt very broken this year. I am not writing this to get the collective pity party awwww from my readers. I have a point to all of this. I promise. This year my business hit a speed bump. That is what I am calling it because speed bumps simply cause us to slow down, not stop. But because of the speed bump, I have had to take a second full-time job. This second job requires a lot of travel, where my business was working out of my home. And so is yours. This ...

A Year to Remember | boyradd
https://boyradd.wordpress.com/2016/12/30/a-year-to-remember
Forgiven…Loved….Transformed! A Year to Remember. Because if we forget it then we will be forced to repeat it. Psalm 43:3 – Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling! This year I was planning on taking a hiatus from the blogging world to plant a church. Well, that didn’t go as planned. So I am back. And, as I do every year, I like to give you an idea of just where this blog has been and where it is going. As for the blog, I went away in ...

https://boyradd.wordpress.com/2016/10/08/getting-ready-for-peru-again
Forgiven…Loved….Transformed! Getting Ready for Peru Again. Acts 13:47 –. For this is what the Lord has commanded us: “‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'”. In a little over a week my wife and I will be leaving for Peru. I have gone to Peru almost every year for the past 5. This journey has been both eye-opening and heart-changing for us. Well, God told me, eh? I guess I was going to Peru. I told the man who was our guide over and over again t...

Love Knows No Borders | boyradd
https://boyradd.wordpress.com/2016/10/14/love-knows-no-borders
Forgiven…Loved….Transformed! Love Knows No Borders. 1 Corinthians 16:14 –. Let all that you do be done in love. Tomorrow my team leaves for Peru. The church prayed over us and officially sent us, now we just need to get there and start working. This isn’t the first time I’ve been to Peru. I’ve been 4 of the past 5 years. But what should the church’s position on missions be? I have heard a lot of different views, even among my own friends. Luke 10:1 –. There is one school of thought that believes short te...

Forgiven…Loved….Transformed! 8211; Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Last night I was home with my kids, eating fajitas and refried beans. A few hours later I heard it. It sounded like someone set off a bomb in cavern. It smelled like there was a dead animal in the walls. And it tasted like.well, chicken! I just about laid hands on him to get the rest of the demons out! 8211; Beloved...

Predestination and Election: Part 1 | boyradd
https://boyradd.wordpress.com/2012/08/05/predestination-and-election-part-1
Forgiven…Loved….Transformed! Predestination and Election: Part 1. I May Get Stoned Here. There are two very controversial topics in the church today. They are topics that are very difficult to write about because they are so grievously misunderstood in the church today. Again, I am not going to pull any punches here, but I am sure there are going to be more than a few of you who vehemently disagree with my views. Ultimately, an apologist’s primary job is to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These are all...

Predestination 2…I need some ibuprofen after this. | boyradd
https://boyradd.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/predestination-2-i-need-some-ibuprofen-after-this
Forgiven…Loved….Transformed! Predestination 2…I need some ibuprofen after this. Predestinational Theories and Theologies. Predestination has for a very long time been debated in the church. The Bible clearly states that God is the Sovereign Lord over the universe (Isaiah 40:21-23). However, the Bible also shows us that mankind has freedom (Joshua 24:15, Isaiah 7:16, Revelation 22:17). I don’t know if I am fully answering the question when I put it this way, but any type of theory in predestination needs ...
