The Honeymoon Disaster That Sparked A Marvelous Marriage is a true-to-life story of a marriage that literally began “on the rocks” and would have figuratively ended up “on the rocks” if God had not intervened. “I remember, even to this day, catching the weight of the surrey with my right leg, which amazingly didn’t break, and pushing it back upright since it had landed sideways on the rocks.

WHAT would the thoughtful and reverent Christian of today not give for a sure enough close-up look at Christ Jesus as he walked among men? This is not finding fault with the Gospels but with the mass of tradition, church dogma, and what not, that has accumulated since that first century and in the mind of the church obscures the Real Jesus.

Many people think they are Christians. But what if they're mistaken? Jesus once gave a warning that still unsettles us today: "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord…' and I will declare to them, 'I never knew you.'" In a culture where Christianity is familiar, it is easy to assume we understand what it means to follow Jesus. Church attendance, good morals, religious traditions, or simply believing in God can all feel like enough.

Do we use social media, or are we being used by it? Social media is brilliant and obscene. It sharpens the mind and dulls it. It brings nations together and tears them apart. It perpetuates, reveals, and repairs injustice. It is an untamed beast upon which we can only hope to ride, but never quite corral. What is it doing to us? In Terms of Service, Chris Martin brings listeners his years of expertise and experience from building online brands, coaching authors and speakers about social media use, and thinking theologically about the effects of social media.

Are you for Christ or are you against him? You know you are either one or the other, for he says so. We learn in Matthew 12:30 in the words of Jesus himself: He that is not with me is against me. Everyone is either with Jesus wholeheartedly, confessedly, and openly, or else they are against Jesus. Which are you? For Christ or against him?

Which Jesus do you follow? What does he believe? Or perhaps just as important, what do you believe about him?

How do Christians grow? Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive.

If you’ve ever felt this way or wished someone would talk about things like forgiveness, mental health, broken friendships, church hurt, and more in honest, down-to-earth terms while sticking to what Scripture has to say about them, you’ve come to the right place.

Many people wonder, "Is Jesus Christ even real?" For 38 years, I wondered too! I called myself a Christian because I wore a cross, prayed to God and attended church regularly. Yet, I lied, gossiped, and judged others without mercy. I misrepresented my God with my behavior, attitude, and words. Such was my life. In my prayers, I asked God to use my life to glorify Him but was ill-prepared for the response. I was arrested and charged with a felony! In deep and dark despair, I turned to Jesus Christ for help.
