If Christianity is so wonderful, why are some Christians such jerks?

They see people say really dumb things and attribute it to their Christian faith.
They watch believers being hateful toward someone who believes differently from them.…
There’s a certain odd hush that comes upon a town at Christmas Eve.
It’s not that people aren’t still working. Those days when everyone got off work for Christmas are long gone. But a calm still manages to descend as families gather, and the majority of stores shut off their lights and workers head home.…
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I wrote this article years ago as God was preparing me to take a huge leap of faith. Within a few months after writing it, I quit my job and branched out in a new adventure. God spoke to me on my mountains walks with Him, and taught me faith lessons along the…

His weathered hands were still steady, having stacked the wood by the cabin walls that would surely last the winter’s full duration. It’s a good thing he had.…
As a pastor, I meet a lot of people who tell me they are Christians. However, there's a favor I'd like to ask a few of them...

We’ve parented 5 kids so far…and counting. So we’re well aware of all the negative influences a child faces in today’s culture. There are temptations and hazards now most of us never dreamed of just 10 years ago. Considering all the technology available to them, the number of ways for kids to damage themselves spiritually…
