You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The Gospel doesn’t just make bad people behave. It makes dead people live. This isn’t a self-help message, it’s a resurrection miracle. Christ didn’t come to improve us; He came to indwell us. “Even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ…” (Ephesians 2:5).
The Lord's guidance is always tethered to His goodness. You see, whether it is a stop or a step, the Lord will direct and protect. "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way" (Psalm 37:23).
Our grandest defense against heresy is to hear what God has to say. You see, if we hear God's truth, we will not have ears for Satan's lies. "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" (Roman 10:17).
Integrity threatens those who lack it. And you’ll know that’s the case when a person lies in order to save face. "Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal truthfully are His delight" (Proverbs 12:22).
It is on our most holy faith that the "building" of our lives must be based. On Christ the solid rock we stand, for all other ground is sinking sand. "But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith..." (Jude 20).
Tragically, it is possible to be a "theological Christian" and yet remain a "practical pagan." This is what it means to have a form of godliness but denying its power. "For men will be lovers of themselves...having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!" (2 Timothy 3:2, 5).
Our faith in Christ needs to be greater than our fear of man. It doesn't matter what man thinks. What matters is what God said. "In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, and His children will have a place of refuge" (Proverbs 14:26).
Comparative Analysis: Christianity vs. Islam Revelation and Textual Integrity: The Bible vs. The Quran • Muhammad claimed to have received revelations from the angel Gabriel for about 23 years, starting in 609 AD. The result was a sea of contradictions...
I was recently “tweeted at” from 2 different students. Not only 2 different students, but students from 2 different schools. And not only 2 different schools; but 2 different climates that defined the culture in each of those schools. You see, upon entering the one school I was personally greeted by the Superintendent, who sat with me for 30 minutes “shooting the breeze,” and even encouraged me to keep speaking out (though he had not heard the message yet). At the other school, I wasn’t met or greeted by anyone on staff. I was actually ignored until I asked if I could find my way to the auditorium to set up. And one thing I’ve learned from doing this on a daily basis is that the culture of any school starts at the top and flows downward....
Love is relational, not relative. It ought not depend on circumstances or the right “stars aligning.” No! Love is the highest divine emotion that can be expressed in life, not just lip. What I’m about to say next may be pointed, but I’m speaking to myself from past “love” exchanges. Love that is not channeled from the source of pure love is in fact perverted love. We may think we are loving accurately, but if you begin at the wrong location initially, every point after that will be off positionally and diverted.....
It is not my desire for people to hear or see me; it is my earnest prayer that wherever I am called to speak, that the audience would SOLELY hear and see Jesus in me. I am nothing more than a broken man just following Gods perfect plan. And He never ceases to amaze me with His grace. Now, I'm not talking about the definition of grace--unmerited favor--but I am talking about the personification of Grace-- Jesus my Savior. We aren't just "sinners saved by grace." No way! How dare we cheapen....
Sarah and I are getting ready to depart for Norfolk, Nebraska. If you could hear me, I would say that with the finest Mid-West accent I could muster up. I know a little about the Mid-West since I traveled into that area several times during my pro soccer playing days. However, this time we are going there to lead a youth rally. Sarah’s friends are the youth leaders and they graciously extended the invite. Needless to say, it’s an honor to be “called” to other states to do God’s work. In the words of Jesus, “I must....
