I have to admit that I am a Grey's Anatomy fan. Don't hold it against me - hold it against my wife; it's her fault. The one thing I am always amazed at is the amount of sex these doctors and nurses can have with one another. They are quick to jump into a broom closet, rip each other's clothes off, and get it done. It is not rare for two people to be in the broom closet when another two people...

To the uneducated eye a counterfeit $100 bill looks like the real thing. Most people would go to spend a counterfeit $100 bill and then be extremely disappointed when it turns out to be worth nothing.

"Real" sex cannot compare to pornography. I mean how can sex, restricted to one partner, with limitations compare to a sexual fantasy world disguised as reality? We have reformatted our brains into believing that "real" sex is less exciting, more limiting, and overall less fruitful than its counterfeit. When you tell your brain throughout many years that you need pornography to experience a...

Nearly one year ago we assembled eight men who committed to intense discipline and incredible focus to conquer one of the worlds most challenging tasks - participate and complete a full Ironman triathlon. This event is a full triathlon consisting of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike course, and 26.2 mile marathon. The event seemed out of reach, beyond imagination, and just to difficult to...

If you have been a pastor for long I am sure you have had that moment when someone approached you with their bible open and said, "Can you show me where it says I can't……in the bible?" Show me in the bible where it says I can't have premarital sex. Show me in the bible where it says I have to listen to the leadership of the church. Show me where it says i should vote. Show me, show me, show...

 I recently pastored at a church in an extremely affluent area of California. Most members of our congregation lived inside the false bubble of...
