Some of My (Christian) Thoughts on Fifty Shades of Grey | Forever Fascinated
http://brantcole.blogspot.com/2015/02/some-of-my-christian-thoughts-on-fifty.html
Thursday, February 19, 2015. Some of My (Christian) Thoughts on Fifty Shades of Grey. Fifty Shades of Grey. Recently, I was asked to share some of my thoughts on the book-based movie that was released on Valentine's Day, Fifty Shades of Grey. Therefore, I believe it more imperative than ever for Christians to have a proper framework for thinking through sexual and moral issues and to come to rock-solid convictions that won't be tossed about by mere desire. It is with this kind of daring candor that I...

Forever Fascinated

Friday, March 20, 2015. Recently, in our youth ministry, we went through a short series about knowing who we are and how God sees us called Identity Crisis. See, we will always fight FROM our identity. The way we perceive ourselves in this world will greatly affect how we pursue changing this world. I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but we are always in a fight. The question is just what we are fighting for. Are we fighting for things that matter or things that don’t? Big God - Strong, Confident Me.

Friday, March 20, 2015. Labels: 1 Samuel 17. Recently, in our youth ministry, we went through a short series about knowing who we are and how God sees us called Identity Crisis. See, we will always fight FROM our identity. The way we perceive ourselves in this world will greatly affect how we pursue changing this world. We will always avoid the fights that matter until we are confident of the One who fights for us. Big God - Strong, Confident Me. Puny God - Weak, Scared Me. Did you catch that? We are ado...

The Treasure | Forever Fascinated
http://brantcole.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-treasure.html
Friday, April 19, 2013. With the color palette of my imagination. I expressively begin to paint. There are no lights on, so everything is dark. No light is present but that which creeps through. One solitary window in the corner. Enough light is present to make out the vague forms. Of a few objects in the room. Four cold, empty walls. Four cold, empty, looming walls. They remind me how lonely the room is. They remind me how lonely the figure in the middle is. He is curled up on the floor,. Jesus, even wh...

Love Is Louder | Forever Fascinated

Monday, August 11, 2014. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE ARTICLE BEFORE MAKING ANY JUDGMENTS. Yesterday, my beloved Chicago Fire took on the Red Bulls of New York in Major League Soccer. To my delight, they won their fourth game of the season (in contrast to their 13 ties.). If you want, you can catch the highlights here. However, to my disappointment, that night at Toyota Park was the 3rd Annual LGBT. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) Pride Night. Let's stop for a moment. Are you catching the distinction?

4 Little Things I Do To Follow Jesus Every Day | Forever Fascinated
http://brantcole.blogspot.com/2014/10/4-little-things-i-do-to-follow-jesus.html
Friday, October 24, 2014. 4 Little Things I Do To Follow Jesus Every Day. One of the of the biggest things that God is teaching me this week is the distinction between believing in him and following him. As I was reading in John this morning, this verse hit me and would not leave my mind all morning. John 8:31-32 says,. So Jesus was saying to those Jews. Who had believed him. Looking for just one thing each day from the Word. Looking forward to small blessings. My dad always used to say to my family, "An...
