Still in the Game: Hail Mary
Leah’s surgery was scheduled for September 25, right in the middle of our bye week. Even that felt like God nodding at us. As if the big man upstairs took a look at the NFL schedule when considering when Leah should get her surgery and timed everything just right, so we all could be together… The post Still in the Game: Hail Mary appeared first on FaithGateway.

SWINGIN HAMMERS RELEASING NEW SINGLE ‘HANGMAN’
Nashville, TN, based Folk Rock artist Swingin Hammers, real name Benjamin Rupe, releases his new single ‘Hangman‘ on February 1, 2019. Swingin Hammers pens songs with the seriousness of writing an epitaph. “I’m made to carry the heavy things,” says Benjamin, who took on the moniker Swingin Hammers at the start of 2017, when Rupe’s purpose as a singer/songwriter became clear. “I can’t handle a feather, but I can handle a tombstone.” The entertaining live performances of Swingin Hammers might deceive just how weighty Rupe’s lyrics are, but each Swingin Hammers song testifies that he knows exactly what he’s doing and what he’s not doing, in lockstep with his mission as…

New World Order: Signs of the End Times
We can discuss the Book of Revelations in the Bible allegorically in a hundred different interpretations. It makes for a good film premise. The film New World Order released in 2013 used the mark of the Beast as its focal point. The story opened with a van containing seven Christians who got captured for alleged treason against the New World Order. Officers brought them to a facility so each person can decide whether be marked or sentenced to death. These scenes gave us a glimpse of what will possibly happen during the reign of the Beast as foretold in the Book of Revelations. Main character Demi knew that receiving the mark means losing her soul…

When You Believe in God but Don’t Really Know Him
“If you were to be put on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?” Many believers have been challenged by this question. Do we know Christ well enough to walk in His footsteps? Perhaps the problem is that we believe in Him, but do not know enough about what He wants for our lives. Craig Groeschel defines a Christian Atheist as someone who believes in God, but lives as though He doesn’t exist. Believing in Him must lead to knowing Him. The way to know Him is to study the word of God, and spend time with others who are doing the same. We…

When You Believe in God But Won’t Forgive
When my little sister, Lisa, was born on my third birthday, my parents told me that she was my birthday present from God. We’ve been inseparable ever since. Of course we endured occasional sibling rivalries and conflicts, but she was always my baby sis, whom I loved as much as anyone else in the world….
