A God of Second Chances
By Chris Bunton I hear some Christians say this a lot. “God is a God of second chances.” Every time I hear it, it is like a punch in the face; because I need a God of infinite chances. And so do they, despite what they might believe. They seem to often believe thatContinue reading “A God of Second Chances”
A Lesson in Giving
By Chris Bunton I was in prison. Most stories end that way, but not this one. It was actually the beginning of my life. A new life. A new start. In prison we can go to the commissary and buy things. When I say “go to the commissary, I mean we can stand in lineContinue reading “A Lesson in Giving”
Animal Souls
By Chris Bunton Too many times I have sat in a church and heard a sermon saying that animals have no soul. They say that humans have dominion and that everything is for our use.

It is a small quote, within the context of a larger concept, but it’s a powerful tool for life improvement and spiritual growth.

Church Nursery
By Chris Bunton You were in that church nursery, where they forced you to play. They made you share your toy, with that boy, who kept stealing it. They got mad, when you beat him, with that red fire truck. They said you were bad, and needed a long time out. Everyone made a bigContinue reading “Church Nursery”
