By Chris Bunton “But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”—Heb. 11:6 God has given each one of us a measure of faith so that we are able to believe inContinue reading “But Without Faith…”

A Terrible Christian
By Chris Bunton I’m a terrible Christian. It’s a fact. Other Christians look at me and say “He said what?” or “He believes what?” Or they might say, “That’s not very Christ-like.” And it’s true. I sin wickedly. But, they do also. They just commit the socially acceptable sins. They commit the churchy sins. Continue reading “A Terrible Christian”
Adventure Where You Are
Traveling is an adventure. It’s the hope of seeing new things and getting that ‘Wow” factor that thrills you. It’s also that feeling of enlightenment, when you have experienced something that moves you, or alters your life, or fills a void, or answers a question for you. It’s something that moves you forward in yourContinue reading “Adventure Where You Are”
Christian Environmentalism
I love God’s creation. I believe that He created mankind to “Dress and Keep it” (Gen.2:15) we are to take care of and protect God’s creation. That is one of the first commandments He gave mankind. It is our original purpose on Earth. We are to walk with our Creator, to have a relationship withContinue reading “Christian Environmentalism”
God’s Economy
By Chris Bunton There’s been much debate on what God’s will is in regards to our economic system. Some say God is a capitalist, and that capitalism is the only way to go. Others say that Jesus was a socialist. But what if it’s a mixture of both? There are several times in the Bible,Continue reading “God’s Economy”

He is talking to the father, and asking all kinds of questions. The father answers and points things out. He is leading the child along teaching and helping theContinue reading “What is Repentance?”
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”
The Two Kitties
We have several stray cats that live in the neighborhood. Most of them are wild. You cannot get near them or pet them. They sneak up and get food, or water, or to be nosy, but not much else. I’ve learned over the years in my spiritual walk that one of the places that humansContinue reading “The Two Kitties”
You Are Not Cast Out
Verse: “All that the father gives me shall come to me; and him that comes to me I will in no wise cast out. —John 6:37 I failed in my life; and like so many others I had asked God to save me when I was young. I went to church and I askedContinue reading “You Are Not Cast Out”
