Keeping the Faith?: February 2014
http://matthew23chick.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 24, 2014. Bible verses are powerful. They can wake you up, make you think, give you information you can use, be a catalyst for God to bless you with the Divine Spirit. The problem is some pastors use them to manipulate and beat their sheep and then lead them off a cliff. The primary thing that kept running through my mind was the leaders of these churches have a responsibility, an obligation. Here is the job description. Does Crossing Pastoral Staff measure up? 6 He must not be a recent ...

Keeping the Faith?: January 2013
http://matthew23chick.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 31, 2013. I have learned a lot over the past couple of weeks, and it isn't good. Here is what I have learned:. 1) I haven't fully forgiven past sins against me, even though I thought I had. 2) I still can't bring myself to fully trust Christians. Two things may not seem like a lot, but to me, these two things pack quite the punch. It is a good thing that God forgives me, because I am having a hard time forgiving myself. I feel like I have, I feel like I have moved past it all. Again...

Keeping the Faith?: May 2012
http://matthew23chick.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Serve your heart out vs. Sit quietly and mind your own business. Church every weekend vs. Taking a vacation once in awhile. Say hi and greet everyone, so they can be saved vs. Get in and out quick before anyone talks to you. Bring everyone you can to church vs. Avoid church conversation at all costs. It makes me wonder how many of my choices were so far off base that I need a redo. One thing, specifically, that bothers me is this: Was my baptism as fake as the rest of it? Jeremiah,...

Keeping the Faith?: Stronger
http://matthew23chick.blogspot.com/2012/09/stronger.html
Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Just because someone says that they are sorry, do you just believe them and move on? God says we should but how are we showing our love to God by ignoring the souls that are being lost or abandoned along the way? A false teaching will not save you. A false leader will lead you down a road you should NOT want to be on. Some say closure is good, but is that the final answer? Over and over again the Bible told us this was coming. The battle is ongoing, and I say we fight. I say t...

Monday, May 23, 2011. Chapter 18.Losing Our Son? Chapter 18. Losing Our Son? To begin a book with chapter 18, why? Our firstborn child, a wonderful young man that described himself as a follower of Jesus, a song-writer, a student, a runner.How would I describe him? So what changed, what happened, what came into our home that caused so much destruction? Thank you, I hope he is a great blessing to the Crossing. My feeling for the Crossing?

Keeping the Faith?: Acknowledgement

Wednesday, May 29, 2013. Will you forgive me for think, ya know, for my part, any wrong.". Forgiveness was offered. Oh, the joy of knowing that you forgave, as GOD has forgiven you! You also came so close to admitting that you may have done something wrong. So close! I feel that members of Crossing Church may, however, have been a little bit misled into thinking the ". I was not trying to hurt, but to. Open the eyes of the offenders and to. Humble yourself before GOD, he will lift you up.".
