I know in my head that, being in ministry, I should spend daily time with God developing and nurturing a love relationship. But do my daily choices show I believe it?Take from www.revelife.com

As the weather heats up and, for some people, the school year starts to wind down, I'm reminded of summers past and the fun times I've had. When I was in high school and college, no summer vacation was complete without a trip to some music festival. I still remember...

I am not a Christian. I have been Agnostic for almost six months, but I've just recently gained the courage to tell that to the world. I was worried I'd lose respect, friends, and maybe even the job at a Christian summer camp I work at every year. In the end, everyone...

In the past decade, the church has increasingly challenged men to step up and be leaders in their families, and their wives have been enlisted toward this goal. Interestingly, one of the key strategies of this movement has centered around the following...

By Bonnie at Faith Barista"When you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake." ~ Victor Hugo I was driving around with friends from out of town, when we got on the topic of stress increasing in a social media saturated...

It used to be that, when people sneezed, I would say "Bless you." This seems so foreign to me, now, because since I saw a Dane Cook skit, I have been saying "GOD bless you." Now, that's more natural. Here is my quick story about a few sneezes I asked God to bless, and...

We here at Revelife like to take a moment at the beginning of each week to pray for you, the community.  We believe that a community that prays together grows together, and we would like for all of us to grow in faith and strength.  But perhaps there is...

I look back at myself  now that I am single, in my early 30s, without a permanent job and still stuck living with my parents. What went wrong?  As I looked back at all the things I had done in my 20s, it was nothing but studying and working.  I had two...

Thanks to a Facebook friend from Dallas, TX, for this thought.      Now there was a wealthy and influential man in Bethlehem named Boaz, who was a relative of Naomi's [deceased] husband, Elimelech. One day Ruth the Moabite [and Naomi's...

By Roderick Evans Salvation is God’s greatest gift to man which was provided to us by Christ Jesus. God sent Christ so that men would be saved from their sins and live in peace. The peace that comes with salvation is knowing that your salvation is assured and it...

The despicable behavior of King David in the whole 'Bathsheba affair' makes it extremely difficult for us to conclude anything but that he clearly was guilty of 'intentional' sin. What other verdict could we come to?! And it is true. God holds us accountable for all...

As I talked with a customer who came through my check-out lane, we got to talking about the "old days", long before I was born, and how I would have liked to have been able to experience a bit of it in reality rather than through cinema portrayals. This prompted my...

I served communion once. As in I took the role that is usually taken by the pastor, or priest, I read the words from Luke's Gospel account of the Last Supper. And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, "Take this, and divide it among yourselves. For I...

Even a cursory review of Scripture, makes it crystal clear that Yahweh God has a serious problem with sin (I say serious in the sense that He does not view sin from a light-hearted or frivolous perspective--He is dead serious). As a result, it becomes a serious...

My wife and I are purchasing a new (used) car soon. It's a 2005 Honda something. I don't care much about cars (I'm a cyclocommuter, and I only drive when my wife has a headache), and she's handling the purchase, selection and so forth. But I learned tonight that the...

I am a Christian who has been in a relationship for over a year now, and we are not married yet.  I want so badly to do what God says in the Bible is right in my relationship, mainly saving sex and sexual activities for marriage.  However, this world and...

There are many issues and topics that divide the Christian community, not the least of which being evolution. While many believe the Genesis account is entirely accurate, others believe it is more open to interpretation, that there might just be enough room in...

This is from a friend of mine who'd like to remain anonymous. I found it very interesting, what do you think? For the past two years, I’ve met with a group of guys for a small group Bible study.  It came together as a group of friends I knew from college...

Being a Christian in the United States in 2010 can be a difficult and confusing endeavor, especially when it comes to understanding the nature of the Church and how her members ought to interact (or not interact) with the government. A few voices that touch on the...

By Heather McGugan I was having coffee with a friend the other day, and a thought occurred to me: without God's grace, I am unable to show grace to others. What I mean is that giving people second chances completely goes against my human nature. I am under the...

Twice this week I have had to drive to areas in Washington that I had never been to. I was completely ignorant of where certain roads were as I traveled to my intended destination. The cities were big, and around every turn or bend in the road there was something new....

By Will GreenIs morality relative? Many people have argued that it is. Consider how there have been cultures throughout history that have approved of horrible practices.But there is an argument that moral differences between cultures are not that deep - even though...
