The Day Elmo Decided He'd Had Enough!

This is a blog mainly about faith, prayer, Biblical truth, and the spiritual journey. With a little fun, controversy, and sizzle thrown in now and then. (FYI: When I refer to the "concordance," it's Strong's concordance with Vine's Expository Dictionary.)

If you want short, simple, light-hearted pat-answers about faith, you've come to the wrong blog. I don't do short and simple. (But I enjoy blogs that do.) And I don't like pat answers and Christian platitudes. My posts are long. They get deep and messy and uncomfortable, right down to the nitty-gritty of faith. This is where I wrestle with God, with the hard things of faith.

"Lord, don't let me be a fakey, polished, 'just be good' Christian who stuffs the hard stuff and smiles through the pain and teaches others to do the same. Teach me to wrestle well. To learn from the struggle. To fiercely grab onto Your sustaining grace and to share it with others. Amen"

Seven Important Posts:

"Help for Anxiety, Depression, and Suicidal Thoughts." There are far too many headlines lately about people who committed suicide. Please, if you are struggling, check out some of the resources in this post. There is hope and help out there! You are not alone. And you're going to be okay!

"Starting You Own Relationship With Jesus (And Why We Need Him!)" The most important truths you'll ever learn!

"Becoming a Christian" (with links to two "sinner's prayers" you can pray)

"War Rooms, Praying Scripture, and Spiritual Warfare" So important for Christians! We all need to take this seriously!

"Sermons by Tony Evans" For when you need to hear some good preaching!

"My 'When Anxiety Strikes' Playlist" Because we all need some encouragement now and then!

"Links To Anti-Calvinism Posts" - Because I strongly believe Calvinism is an epidemic and that it's not Scriptural!

And two songs to seriously consider: I Wish We'd All Been Ready and In The Sky

And here are some pastors I recommend (non-Calvinists): Tony Evans (my all-time favorite, from Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, click here for his YouTube channel), Greg Laurie, Ralph "Yankee" Arnold (I haven't watched him but my husband recommends his videos against Calvinism), Billy Graham, and Andy Woods (whom I've never watched but a friend highly recommends him because he preaches against Calvinism).
