It's all too easy to slip back into "normal life" after having an incredible encounter with God. But what if "normal life" wasn't about the spiritual high, but about the faithfulness we practice on a daily basis? Peter was a great example of a guy who slipped away from God but also a beautiful testament to how the Lord will never give up on us, even in our sin and complacency.

The author of Hebrews contrasts Jesus' perfect example of faithfulness to the nation of Israel's example of faithlessness and how such a condition developed in their lives as their hope faded, their hearts were hardened, and they eventually questioned the authority of God and His representatives. Failure to walk faithfully with the Lord results in discipline and forfeiture of the experience to see the fulfillment of God's purposes.

In order to track down miracles in our present day, we look back at the biblical record to see what God did, why He did it, and when and where He did it in the past. The biblical record shows a historical pattern that makes miracles today possible but not normative and it also informs us as to our proper response to such miracles. Specifically, miracles are all about the message and not the messenger and they are meant for far more than entertainment of the masses!

The Bible clearly lays out that Christ has paid the penalty for the sin of homosexuality (like every other sin) and also frees one from its power (like every other sin). Unfortunately, confusion and hostility towards this particular sin struggle has often left many struggling with it feeling unaccepted by self-righteous Christians. So we take a look at what homosexuality is, what causes it, whether its sinful, and how one begins to change and find freedom from it.

God intended sex to provide a picture of Him, procreation, and pleasure and yet it was to require great self-sacrifice and self-control.
