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 ...

Be Honest: Did you search for Erin Andrews naked?
All of a sudden, it was all that everyone was talking about. Images from the video had made the cover of the New York Post.

Friday, June 26, 2009
Hi Eve, my name is Max. I'm 16 years old, and as most teenage guys, am totally attracted to woman. Being a christian guy I see my Purity as a top priority in my life. But I was just wondering if woman have just as hard of time keeping their purity? Like do they struggle with the same things us guys do, or do they have a totally different set of things to fight against? Because I have been pondering lately about my future wife, and hoping and praying that she keeps her purity for me, because I am trying really hard to stay pure for her. Anything would be really awesome! Thanks a bunch:)

Monday, March 23, 2009
Where is the limit? I understand that when I visit certain sites that I should expect to be targeted to by images of scantly clad women. I expect to see advertisements for lovelines when I am watching late night tv, but where do these media companies draw the line. It is Saturday afternoon, and as I am browsing the internet just checking on the latest NBA standings, I get this.

Sunday, February 22, 2009
We've all seen the posting on the door to our favorite McDonalds or the neighborhood gas station, but have we stopped to rationalize the need for the seemingly innocent placard? Health concerns and FDA requirements aside, there is another reason that most establishments display this certain message: as a male, I've always grown up being told it was inappropriate to be shirtless in the general public. According to socially accepted thinking, it is morally wrong for a person to walk around town without a shirt on. But wait, what about when one goes to the beach or the pool? Is it also inappropriate to go shirtless in those places? Modern thinking in both Christian and mainstream cultures would say no. Do you see the paradox that is created? I am a firm believer in absolute truth, as is the modern day church. By that same thinking -- that is, what is right or wrong in one situation is unilaterally right or wrong, respectively, regardless the situation -- is it inappropriate for a man to appear shirtless in public regardless of location or activity? If it is wrong in one situation, such as walking the dog, then it is equally wrong in the other, such as a day at the beach or sunbathing at the neighborhood pool. I realize that so far i have only addressed the male population, but i will turn my attention to the female population shortly. Please bear with me until then.
