Stephen Curry Interview
So many people dream of playing for the Tar Heels of North Carolina, the Duke Blue Devils, and the Kentucky Wildcats. Teams that are rich in tradition have the facilities, the following, and the exposure to stay on top for decades and many young men dream of putting on those jerseys while playing AAU ball and high school basketball. They want their names to go down in history as being a part of these storied programs. Stephen Curry also held that dream. His father had excelled in the NBA and he dreamed of going to an ACC school or an ...
Q&A – What is God’s relationship to time?
Answer: We live in a physical world with its four known space-time dimensions of length, width, height (or depth) and time. However, God dwells in a different dimension—the spirit realm—beyond the perception of our physical senses. It’s not that God isn’t real; it’s a matter of His not being limited by the physical laws and dimensions that govern our world (Isaiah 57:15). Knowing that “God is spirit” (John 4:24), what is His relationship to time?In Psalm 90:4, Moses used a simple yet profound analogy in describing the timelessness of God: “For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day ...
MIKESCHAIR Interview
As the world looks in on Christianity today, they are looking for honesty and for sincerity. Too often, what they have found is hypocrisy in those who profess to be followers of Christ. As a new generation of bands hits the forefront in Christianity today, we are seeing a transparency that has never been seen before. MIKESCHAIR is one band who is definitely not afraid to openly discuss who they are, hoping that in their journey with the Lord, others may relate and come to know Him as well. MIKESCHAIR formed while they were students at Belmont University. The Lord has ...
Interview – Phil Wickham
A few weeks ago, I took a silent retreat into the North Carolina wilderness to get alone with God and to allow him to speak to my heart. I took a copy of 1 cd on my ipod, Heaven and Earth which is Phil Wickham’s latest album that releases on November 17. God spoke to me in many ways through scripture but He allowed Phil’s music to bring me to a point of true worship. I sat down with Phil this morning to talk a little bit about who he is, his career and what inspires his songwriting abilities. History Q- Give ...
Men of God Spotlight: Travis Fryman
He played for himself at the beginning of his career. His goal was to win and sharing the infield with Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker meant that winning was something that would happen often. He had an opportunity of a lifetime coming up with the Tigers but a few years after his debut, he began to see the game of baseball and the people surrounding him in an entirely different way. God opened his heart and his eyes to see things that way that God sees them, not just for what they can do, but for who they are. Travis Fryman ...

Toilet Water vs. Drinking Water
There are many things in this world that cause me to ask God "Why?" As I have done more research on the water epedimic in the world, I am continuously annoyed by the way we live here in America. After learning more and more about Living Water International, our partner ministry for OneMillionWitnesses.com, the pictures and stories continue to haunt me. They haunt me when I go the bathroom and see the crystal clean water, they haunt me when I reach for a bottled water or hear people complain about our tap water. They haunt me when people won't even take a swim in the lake if it has a tint of green. People are dying. People are dying from dirty water, when it it flowing right under their feet. Please do what you can. Conserve water. Below are a few links of organizations that are fighting the water epidemic. Post your ideas for conserving water in the comments.

"How have I ignored this situation?" Five years ago, Lynne Hybels of Willow Creek Community Church near Chicago asked that question when she saw the AIDS crisis firsthand in Africa. On a warm October evening in Amman, Jordan, she asked that same question again, this timeabout the growing danger the Middle Eastern Church faces. Miles south of Amman, the climbing cliffs dropped a cool shadow on the river of bodies as they entered the narrow ravine, escaping from the harsh Jordanian sun hanging in a clean, blue sky. Necks craned skyward at the sheered steepness, anticipation pulsing through the dry desert air. Finally, there at the end of the chasm, hewn into the rock wall by rude tools, was a monstrous façade: a dozen ornate pillars, majestic statues and a giant door, all in one continuous piece. It was the treasury of Petra, the city of rock. Petra had been an impenetrable stronghold that enemies had attempted to breech, but they had failed against the towering landscape. It was only when the antagonists cut off the city's water source that these undefeatable people gave up their territory. It was a fascinating history to the group of fifty Americans speckled with several Europeans and about 20 from Iraq, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon and other Middle Eastern countries. While the Friday hiatus was a welcome trip, it was not why so many had gathered in Amman on a still-warm October week.

We all know we should give, but sometimes it is easy to forget some of the reasons behind it. While there are hundreds of reasons to give, these six provide a good starting point.
