What Rights and Privacy Should Children Have?

2013/01/27 cquestions2

Children are people too! Yes they are, but what does that really mean in terms of raising them? After all, they are children, and the object is for them to become adults...real, full fledged, mature, contributory adults! As a parent, is it our responsibility to walk them to that destination or do they instinctively know how to get there on their own? Could it be that parents are just in the way? What does the Bible say? Is the Bible right for our generation? Stay with us!

How Do You Live With Gratitude?

2012/11/25 cquestions2

Last week we talked about hope and its critical role in living a life of value. Hope seems to be the forgotten middle brother of faith and love. In the same way, this past Thursday we celebrated the forgotten middle brother of holidays – Thanksgiving. How do you compete with the costumes and candy of Halloween just a few weeks before and the gifts and glitter of Christmas a month later? So, what about the art of thanksgiving? How can we master the “attitude of gratitude” and live a transformed life?

Are Women as Important as Men?

2012/11/11 cquestions2

We live in an age and a country of great enlightenment, in which we are all very aware of the need to recognize the rights of all men and women alike. We have laws that specifically forbid discrimination against anyone based on race or gender. We know that it is right (though unfortunately not always practiced) to give a man and a women equal pay for equal work. All of this enlightenment and yet, when we look at the Bible, it seems to undermine these principles. Well, does the Bible teach that women are equal to and as important as men?

Why Do We Celebrate Death and Witchcraft?

2012/10/28 cquestions2

The time has come. The time when candy becomes a dietary staple, kids stay up and are out late running throughout neighborhoods collecting candy, disguised as anything from Ninja Turtles, to Frankenstein to princesses to monsters to political figures, ghosts and aliens. If you are a kid, it is pure fun. But the older you get, the darker the source of the fun. At some point for many, this fun now takes on stories of death, darkness and devilry. Obviously, we are talking about Halloween. What is it about this holiday that brings out so much that seems so sinister? Stay with us – you may be surprised!

Doctrine

Did God Create or Did WE Evolve?

2012/09/18 cquestions2

Since the introduction of the philosophy of evolution by Charles Darwin in 1859, there has been a raging debate on the origin of life. Darwinian evolution has become entrenched both as a scientific and social precept. Those who subscribe to the belief that God designed and created this universe are painted as superstitious deniers of reality. Even more concerning, radical scientists are advocating social restrictions on Christians in particular to prevent their "delusion" from spreading to others, even their children! Is there reason to believe what used to be accepted by most scientists - that God really did create our world? Are Christians truly out of touch with reality? Did God create or did we evolve?

Is Christianity a Cult?

2012/07/29 cquestions2

Cult...the very word conjures up all kinds of dark and evil images in our minds. These images are of dominating and charismatic leaders and their lowly group of followers who are tethered to their every word, driven by their every vision and obedient to their every desire. Such images are rightfully disturbing. The question is, are there different kinds of cults – even some that can be good and wholesome, or are they all bad? Is Christianity a cult? Stay with us as we explore what cults are and how to watch our steps so we stay far away from any evil that can be associated with the dark side…

Are You a Prejudiced Christian?

2012/07/22 cquestions2

In one way or another, prejudice has dominated human culture for thousands of years. Because prejudice is an internal characteristic, it is often hard to detect it until it has had time to develop and finally show itself in our words or actions. As Christians, can we be shielded from prejudice? Do the scriptures teach us how to avoid it or how to remedy its effects? Is prejudice ever a good thing? Stay with us this morning as we plunge into this wildly difficult topic and try to get a grip on a true Christian perspective.

What Does Freedom Mean to You?

2012/07/01 cquestions2

Once again we approach another anniversary of our country’s freedom. There will be fireworks, picnics, cookouts, family and friends. There will be volleyball, baseball, swimming and sandy beaches. All of these are as a result of the freedom we experience by living where we live. Freedom – because we have it, we can easily take it for granted. What is freedom and what does it mean to you? Stay with us as we look for the answer to that question through history, through the Bible and through your eyes...

Are Christians God’s Superhero-Avengers?

2012/06/03 cquestions2

The Avengers movie has been a box office sensation, breaking all kinds of records. Why? Good movie, good story, good special effects and (wait for it!) superheroes...lots of superheroes! We all love looking up to those who will stand for what’s right and save the world. We all especially love the fact that these heroes, while super, are flawed as well and they still fight for what is right! Does God’s plan for humanity include such heroes? Who would they be? What would they do? Would they – could they - save the world? Stay with us!
