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 ...

In the midst of the moment

The lights are aglow and the festiveness has almost reached its’ pinnacle. It is finally here. Christmas has come around again and as we exchange our gifts and spend time with family and friends, we are given another opportunity to enjoy that which God has blessed each one of us with; that blessing is life. Whether rich or poor, we must be thankful for the fact that we are alive and have these moments to share with people who are a huge part of our lives. For years, Christmas has been a time of giving and receiving, for which I had a deep love for both aspects. I love shopping for people and trying to pick out something that would bring a smile to their face, if only for a moment. It was a time for trying to reach out to them with what I had blessed with and attempt to show them the depth of the feelings that I held for them. The receiving part was great as well, as my mother, my father, and my sister always did things for me that I didn’t even dream were possible. This year, we have faced tough economic times. As a newlywed...
