Grace is Not a License to Sin

I didn't live a life of sin and then get saved. No, I was saved at 13 then shortly after, spent the next 25 YEARS doing all the things I thought I missed out on. 1 Corinthians 10:21 reminded me I was drinking from the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons at the same time. I was under law, strong; which meant I was basing my salvation and righteousness on MY behavior. The first question I asked, when the Lord began teaching me about his gospel of grace, was the same question most people ask and you've likely asked yourself, "So, does this mean I can do what I want and get away with it, is it a license to sin?"...

This sexy product is for "tween" girls...

Dumping Co's Who Support Your Disbeliefs?

Recently I saw an article posted on Facebook, regarding the CEO of Starbucks, who stated if anyone supports traditional marriages over gay marriages, they don't want your business. I thought this was a little odd; as typically it's the customers who don't want to do business with the company, not the other way around. This sparked a theory I've had for years, regarding logical questions geared towards you; the consumers who stop spending money at businesses because of what they support...
