King is sailing, they say

When I was in my early to mid 20’s, I went through a phase of doubting my own salvation in Jesus Christ.  I lost faith in him and desperately wanted it back.  My lack of faith came from the string of broken promises that are in the Bible.  Consider this whopper, from the Great Commission [...]

Heather contributed with the following comment:
“This is another thing I’ve found interesting about conservative Christianity in general — discouraging members from reading books that promote opposing viewpoints. Or just reading books on those opposing viewpoints that are written by conservative Christianity.”
Many of the comments that are made by readers leave me thinking for some time, [...]

JennoPo, joeyanne and Heather discuss the very essence of Christianity - our salvation and our means of salvation.  The Bible is NOT that clear what it means to attain salvation.  Matthew, James and Revelation in particular seem to think you are saved by faith and the law.  Paul’s letters are all about grace.  What about the [...]

“I believe in an omnipotent God who gave us the Bible as His great communication to us. I believe that every word, (down to every last comma) is inspired by God.” – joeyanne
“Actually, I don’t think the Greek texts had grammar — that was left [...]

I die hard but am not afraid to go.
- Last words attributed to George Washington, December 14, 1799
This being the Lenten season, we Christians often reflect on the 7 statements of Jesus while he died on the cross.  Let’s take a look at them:
1) Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are [...]

I placed this site here in the hopes of organizing my thoughts and maybe getting some feedback.  Not just a way for me to spout off, but a way of sharing ideas that hopefully I could learn from.  My last article, Why do you Love Jesus? really stirred up a hornets nest, and I learned [...]

It has been a long and emotional weekend in the HeIsSailing household.  My wife and I attended the wedding of dear friends on Saturday.  We attended the funeral of another dear friend on Sunday.  Many of the same people were in attendence to both, and it was like witnessing the beginning of one life and [...]
