The Gaines Explains Blog. Friday, July 27, 2012. Four Ridiculous Myths Perpetuated By Popular Culture. 1 Disapproval equals hate. If they did not LOVE me, then they would not care enough to correct me. 2 The only thing that’s wrong is to say something is wrong. An intolerant voice cannot be tolerated. 3 Sexual orientation, like race and gender, is not a choice. It is simply how you are born and cannot be changed. There are countless people who have changed their sexual orientation over the years – ...

The Gaines Explains Blog. Friday, October 3, 2014. An African Missionary Talks about the Global Pandemic. This disease has even made appearances in America and other parts of the world. Efforts to contain it are extremely important, but it seems to spread so very easily. I’m very concerned about what it means for the future. A true pandemic may be inevitable and unavoidable. How much more then should you share the life-giving knowledge that can rescue others from the death that comes from sin? An African...

The Gaines Explains Blog. Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Early last Monday a 21 year old man named Luis Sarmiento got into a car crash in New Jersey. Luckily, he was alive and well enough to walk away from his crippled Honda Accord. Over the next 25 minutes, Luis manages to walk a half of a mile down the Garden State Parkway. Then as he tried to cross the road, he was struck by two vehicles and killed. He had escaped death only to be found by it again only a few minutes later. We are reminded in. View ear...

The Gaines Explains Blog. Tuesday, September 25, 2012. Who Get’s Possession? This week’s Monday Night Football game ended in a touchdown pass… or an interception. It depends on who you ask. Two players from opposing teams ended the game playing tug-of-war over the football. The decision regarding who had possession of the football determined who won the game. They could not both posses the ball. It had to be awarded to one or the other. Will you belong to God or to Satan/the world? So make the big call.

The Gaines Explains Blog. Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Once you begin worshipping with the churches of Christ, one of the first things that you will notice is that an important part of our Sunday assembly is the taking of the Lord’s Supper. This is a very ancient and sacred memorial ceremony that has been a part of the New Testament pattern of worship since the church began. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (NKJV). For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same. The unl...

The Gaines Explains Blog. Wednesday, May 8, 2013. Some People Never Learn. Was heading to her home in the Chicago area after staying out late on a Thursday night celebrating. Really late… as in after 2:00 am Friday morning. At 58 years old, you would think that she was old enough to know better, but here she was anyway. Then she saw the blue light. Busted! She was celebrating that she had finally regained her driving privileges after a DUI arrest in 2012! I guess some people never learn. But it has happe...

The Gaines Explains Blog. Monday, April 1, 2013. Is Social Media the New Front Porch? Here is the key to understanding the difference between the “social media generation” and the” pre-social media generation” – for the first time in history, physical proximity matters very little in relationships. I’ve heard people of the older generations ridicule younger folks for texting one another while in the same house. But what’s wrong with that? Maybe these generations could learn from each other? Many in the &...

The Gaines Explains Blog. Friday, April 17, 2015. Why I Now Only Pray For One Thing. Let me explain. When I prayed for a problem to be resolved, really it was because I wanted peace. For myself or my loved one. When I prayed for a conflict to be resolved, really it meant that the people involved were going to need an increased measure of love. Patience, kindness,. When I prayed for some good thing to happen, really it was because I wanted joy. Suffer. Because I want them to experience the peace. The titl...

The Gaines Explains Blog. Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Who Will You Vote For Today? Elections have a way of bringing into sharp focus the need to make clear, firm choices on some occasions. We know that we cannot fill out a ballot voting for both candidates at the same time. One must be chosen. This made me think about another clear choice that must be made, and some lessons that we can learn about making that choice. Jesus paid the ultimate price to gain you. You must choose. That's how this works.
