32. Relationships: What’s the Purpose of a Relationship? (Or, Why are these kids wearing bacon suits?)
If we are to have good relationships, we need to first understand the purpose of them. It would be like trying to try to understand how to have good bacon, without understanding its purpose. It is used for clothing? For hair styling? For skin care? As an antiperspirant? Or as food? Or as well all [...]
April 6th, 201215. Does God Want Our Happiness? (How Can I Find Happiness?)
There’s this one thing that I think we’ve all thought of at one point. I want to follow God, but hopefully He doesn’t call me to be a missionary in Africa, New Guinea or New Jersey. Because for most of us that sounds like it would suck. We hear from all over that we need [...]
March 12th, 2012128. The Trinity (Part 1): So what’s the major difference between Christians and with Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons?
[John Travolta in 'Battlefield Earth'] Two Jehovah Witnesses came to my door and were gone in under two minutes because I was able to coherently show my understanding of the difference between their view and Christianity. Well, it was either that or because I smelled like feet and beef. What I’m going to talk about [...]
December 6th, 201123. How Do I Live By Faith? (Part 4: Our Heart)
With faith, when you miss the middle part, you pretty much feel empty. Kind of like missing the hamburger between two buns, or the pages between the table of contents and index, or a watchable movie between Phantom Menace’s opening crawl and credits. If faith is: Knowing God’s Word + Believing God’s Word + Applying [...]
March 17th, 201121. How Do I Live By Faith? (Part 2)
There’s this fallacy that some believe where the less you know about something means the more faith you can have in it. Like it takes more faith that you’ll enjoy a movie you’ve never heard of, or that you’ll enjoy meat from Taco Bell. The thinking is… the less you know, then the more faith [...]
March 10th, 201120. How Do I Live By Faith? (Part 1)
What does it mean when the Bible says, “if you have faith as small as a mustard seed… Nothing will be impossible for you,” (Matt 17:20)? So if I have the faith larger than the size of a mustard seed that I would become a cheeseburger – it would come to pass, right? But unfortunately [...]
March 8th, 20111. What is the Meaning of Life?
Despite what you might be thinking, the ultimate question in life isn’t, “How can Conrad be so good looking and humble at the same time?” but rather “What is the meaning of life?” You can also ask a similar questions, “What is the purpose of life?” or “Why was I created?” If you had never [...]
January 1st, 2010What is Wisdom?
Proverbs 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. What is wisdom? Here’s an example of trying to use wisdom: a Kanye West song comes on the radio. How should you destroy the radio? With a baseball bat, or with a gun? If you use a gun, which type [...]
September 14th, 2009What is Worship?
Psalm 100:4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise His name. A lot of Christians throw the term “worship” around without really having a defined understanding of it. They equate worship with the singing part at church. Which is unfortunate, especially if you’ve heard me sing. [...]
