Despite being a Christian for most of my life (or perhaps because of it) I find most 'Christian-y' stuff trite, overdone, derivative or lame. At first glance, I thought this video would be just that.
Simon Peter was one of Jesus' first disciples. His given name was Simon, sometimes spelled Symeon. Simon is the English rendering of the Hebrew name Shimon. Shimon comes from the Hebrew word shema.
Let's look at Romans 16:7. Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.

Teleskoid asked: "Why does the Bible completely forbid something like a homosexual loving marriage? It seems to be rather unfair to me." That seems like a good question.
Francis Chan takes less than two minutes to put us back on track. How many times have we believed that memorizing a Bible verse was as important as obeying it? I'm certainly not a great example of what Chan is talking about, but it's my goal to do better.
In a recent online discussion a friend claimed that you can love God, or you can love yourself, but not both. To support his claim he cited 2 Timothy 3. Here's the passage in question:
I always appreciate when a leader lets me peek into the inner workings of their thought processes. Greg Koukl of Stand to Reason trains believers to defend their faith. This video is an excerpt from his podcast: Make sure you've understood the opposing viewpoint...
A popular Kansas City tattoo artist, "Whispering Danny" has an impactful story that he should shout for all to hear. But he can't.
