Bill Taylor: 85 books

Exactly who is the “Prosperity Gospel” prospering? Interesting question don’t you think? While not being a popular one, I do think it's important, unless we actually believe that our mission as disciples of Jesus is to create mansions for our leaders to reside in with bulging bank accounts to...

“I don’t wash feet! I’m a Kings Kid!” Well Kid, do you know what your King did? Sarcasm over: But It does sound that way in certain circles these days. Sometimes you have to go back, to go forward. Thus, the reason for this book. To soberly reflect on the example our Leader left us to follow....

Terms and conditions! Yike! "Yike" is accurately descriptive of how most of us feel when hearing those two words. Dreaded words that conjure up all manner of distasteful negativism. But could we be mistaken in our assumptions? Could the old Sinatra classic: “MY WAY”, not be near as cool...

Following Jesus as His loved disciple has been the most privileged and valued experience of my life. Granted, not the easiest road to travel but since when is easy co-related to value? We increase the difficulty factor exponentially when we walk with one foot in the new and one in the old. Eyes straight...

From birth WE have been taught that WE are “the point”. It’s not new, and has been an existing reality as part of life on planet earth throughout history. It’s the reason why WE invade other people’s countries as if entitled because after all, WE decided it was alright to do so. But what...

It’s been said: “Parting is such sweet sorrow”. Well, that depends in large part on who you’re parting from. Sometimes parting can be simply sweet without the sorrow! It can be more of a "good riddance" without the customary parting hug. "Saying goodbye to self" would qualify...

There are truths in life that have the power to buckle our knees in the most amazing of ways. To fully realize that we are not here by coincidence nor accident and have in fact been designed by God with a purpose attached, changes the trajectory of life itself into one of divinely sacred meaning!...

We humans don’t easily embrace having our horizons stretched beyond their well rehearsed comfort zones. While Jesus offers us a banquet of His daily reality to ingest, we will knowingly settle for the crumbs of religiosity to maintain "comforts" ultra limiting presence in our lives. Then...

Two thousand years ago Jesus left the glory of heaven and came to this world as a servant to mankind providing us with something we could never earn: “Forgiveness Through His Cross”! Two thousand years is a long time. We humans mustn’t allow lapsed time nor mundane religiosity to diminish our...

I love faces! Old, young, and everything in between, they’re all beautifully and uniquely sacred. When I foolishly busy myself with myself, I run the risk of turning the sacredly significant into a blurred irrelevance. I can’t allow the visual of others to be relegated in such a manner. The cost...

Oh how enticing "religiosity" can be with its predictable "status quo maintenance" approach to walking with God. Tragic I think as a choice, when one considers exactly what is being forfeited in an attempt to attain a synthetic sense of superiority over others. In a word: "Reality",...

“The Lost Sheep” are people who “The Church” has never dealt with very well. Burying our heads in the sand and relegating them by using derogatory descriptives, has allowed us the unobstructed convenience of casting “The Lost” as “The Villains” in the story. I consider "These...

I, like most of us have a tendency to avoid sensitive subject matter regarding our “faith”, opting instead for the more positive approach. That’s very justifiable. We have an amazing story to share! But on occasion I think soberly putting down the “sugary treats” for a moment to reflect...

Our tongue is a mere 4 inches long but my goodness, consider the anguish it has inflicted over time within its unruly nature. We could immediately think of the Hitler's of this world but I would consider it wiser to look in the mirror first. In that we do have choice, God holds "US" accountable...
