What does the Bible say about marijuana? If it doesn’t directly address marijuana, how can Christians know what to make of the legalization of recreational cannabis and the advocacy of medical marijuana? In the past, Christians could easily answer the question of whether or not it was permissible to use cannabis by deferring to state prohibitions. We could simply say, “it’s against the law.” Today, that answer is no longer possible. Christians are now forced to do what they should have been doing all along: Think like disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and bring to bear the wisdom of the sufficient Word of God. Since cannabis is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, we must understand what it is and how it affects the user. We also must understand what the Bible says about discipleship, healing, suffering, and what it is to be human. Only then can we answer the critical questions regarding the recreational use and the medical use of cannabis. In Cannabis and the Christian, Todd Miles gives readers: Biblical wisdom applied to the question of recreational cannabis Biblical wisdom related to the medical use of cannabis A grid to think through other ethical questions that aren’t directly addressed in the Bible Confidence to respond to challenging issues standing on the sufficient Word of God

There are no Bible verses that talk directly about marijuana. Is that surprising? So does that make it okay to smoke weed?Let's deal with the argument that it is OK to smoke pot since it is a creation of God. Yes, God did create the plant marijuana comes from. However, God NEVER intended you to dry the plant out, go to 7-11 and buy a pack of Blunt Raps, crumble the dried plant in the rolling paper, roll it up and smoke it. That, my friend, is a perversion of God's creation.There is one thing about God and sin. It's not sin if you don't know its sin. So if you have to ask whether it's sin or not then you are admitting to yourself that you really do not know it is. You're just look for someone to "give you permission" to do it. We are only accountable to what we know. And the truth is if God wanted us “high” we would have been born with the capability to naturally have that feeling that comes from smoking weed.

A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

The book's young protagonist finds himself lost in a lush park setting inhabited by faceless drone-like people and religious figures who take advantage of the faceless hoard. Upon seeing the abuses and questioning his belief in a higher power, the confused teen is confronted by Jesus. Jesus helps him understand the untold secrets of creation and God by way of a jaunt throughout history.Utilizing a special strain of marijuana called Quadruple-H, Jesus reveals debatable, logical, yet downright controversial ideas about the life and extinction of the dinosaurs, the fallacy of 'Satan', the creation of Death, the dichotomy between free will and God's will, the true power of human greed, animal souls, Judas' relationship with Jesus, the crusades, the harsh reality of dying on the cross, proof of aliens, the normality of the Pope, the concept of heaven and the greatest mystery of all – why God no longer interferes in the lives of people as he once did in Old Testament texts.Smoking a 'J' with Jesus is meant to be both humorous and enlightening with a dash of teenaged immaturity and innocence. It provides a mental journey of “questioning everything in our indoctrinated belief system” with fellow kindred spirits who also feel a need to rethink religion and marijuana usage while still staying true to their beliefs in God and Jesus.

"In the coming Crisis, that should begin sometime between now and the end of 2017, most people will be stunned by their losses; many will be utterly destroyed; but a few, a fortunate few, will pay attention to what "The Prosperity Clock" is now indicating and will join with me to not only survive in the difficult days ahead...but PROSPER!" Those are the words of Joseph S. Holleman, author of "The Prosperity Clock" book series. He goes on to say that: "The storm clouds gathering overhead now are unmistakable. There is no doubt in my mind, particularly after witnessing in real time how the Prosperity Clock model perfectly timed the 2007 market panic and recession, that the gale force winds of this next major Crisis period are about to hit us. In the "Prosperity Clock" book series, and the bonus materials that I make available to you, I put everything on the table...all my knowledge gathered over the last 30 plus years, to help you get through the difficult days ahead." Of course you COULD be one of those "fortunate few" IF you know what to expect and take the necessary steps to prepare now. If you do you could potentially save the life and livelihood of both yourself and anyone else that you care about. For that matter, you might even save their lives. It really depends on YOU and the choices YOU make after reading this book.

“If I had my entire life to live over, I’d choose to be a preacher again. It’s been extremely rewarding and gratifying. But I could do ministry a lot better if given a second try. As I look back on my forty years at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY, I wish I had a mulligan. This book lists seven things I’d do differently and seven I’d do about the same. They are written in hopes they’ll be a source of encouragement for those growing weary and losing heart. I pray my observations will inspire others to conclude, ‘If he can do it, I can, too.’ In this book I share both the joys and sorrows of my ministry, both the successes and failures. I’m going to be as transparent as possible in hopes that it will encourage ministers to stand firm in the faith and be faithful unto death. If just one minister is motivated to pick up the sword of the Spirit and re-enter the battle, it will be well worth the effort.” — Bob Russell

Two pastors from Southern Oregon (one, a Republican, and the other, a Democrat) lay aside their political differences to examine marijuana and cannabis through two lenses: hard science including medical journals from both inside and outside the U.S., and scripture itself. "Fact-filled, pastorally wise, biblically faithful."--Wayne Grudem, Ph.D. and author of Systematic Theology. Foreword by Christian Thurstone, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, University of Colorado School of Medicine. With questions at the end of each chapter, it is perfect for a small group study. Also, an easy read for anyone seeking the truth about the safety and efficacy of CBD and THC along with its theological and societal costs and implications. Goes into much detail about how marijuana affects developing brains (under the age of 25) as well as whether or not it is a "gateway drug." Both Charlie and Barnabas have first-hand experience of pastoring in the "Napa-Valley" of Pot, Southern Oregon and can tell you stories about the good, the bad, and ugh. Finally, it gives answers to biblical proof-texts for marijuana as well as hope and resources for the addict.
