Calm in the Storm
Christian Walk
As a Christian, I know that God is in my life. What I didn't realize, is where He is in my life.
Consider any major storm system like a hurricane for instance. The wind speeds, the rain, the destruction seems to be everywhere. This is kind of like my ...
Saved by Grace vs. Faith Without Works Is Dead?
Christian Walk
When I was first really tore into the meat of the Bible, I had been saved a few years. But the “hunger and thirst” for righteousness came a little later.

The Real Church
Christian Walk
I’ve recently been struggling. I’m a children’s and youth minister at a local church, and have been for 15+ years. The question, “Is what I’m teaching other people, leading other people to do … are they eternal things?” While seriously struggling with my Christian identity, I had ...
The Shy Believer’s Approach to Witnessing
witnessing
I’ve never been the type of person to tap a stranger on the shoulder, hand him a tract, and ask him if he’d like to receive Jesus as his personal Savior. This approach works for some more gregarious folks, but I’ve never been one to comfortably initiate ...
The Hope Not Found In the Gospel
Gospel
The hope of the Gospel is the unmerited pardon of our sins and the promise that God will not forsake those who trust in Him. Yet, there is no hope of a life void of suffering and hardship for those who receive it. In fact, the opposite is promised!

Resurrection Peace
Gospel
For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. (Colossians 1:19-20)

Whose Definition of “Good” do You Use?
Worldview
Does it ultimately matter if you are a “good” person or not? Only if God as described in the Holy Bible really exists and will judge you after your death does it certainly matter. So if God really does exist, shouldn’t you understand what being a “good” person means ...
The Greatest Ingredient in a Life Is Love
Love
“And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three: but the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13). “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love” (1 John 4:8). The greatest ingredient in a life is love. If this ingredient is missing, then the recipe ...

The Apologetic vs. the Evangel
Gospel
At first, it may seem that I have pitted against each other two concepts near and dear to the heart of Christians everywhere: the Apologetic, and the Evangel (Gospel). Allow me to explain…
An Apologetic is “a systematic discourse in defense of a doctrine,” say, of the doctrine of the ...
Words

I am amazed at the amount of words on the internet. When I sit and think about it I am amazed by the sheer number of sites that come back when you Google the word “words” (it’s “about 528,000,000” pages for words—all in just 0.29 ...
Getting an Audience

Is Life Today Different Than Life Thousands of Years Ago?
Worldview
It has come to my attention that there are people who make an assumption that life today is different than it was thousands of years ago. These people use this as a presupposition to reason that the Holy Bible is not valid today because it was written about life thousands ...
Modern Day Molech Worship
Gospel
I was reading through Leviticus 18 in my devotions the other day and as I read through the things that Israel was NOT to do I couldn’t help but be struck by verse 21. It seemed to stand out to me because out of all the things which God ...
I Am Not Ashamed
I Am Not Ashamed
We have all read the verse Romans 1:16—“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. That verse is the basis of this amazing movement that has ...
I Am Not Ashamed . . . or Am I?
I Am Not Ashamed
Romans 1:16 states that Paul is not ashamed. Christ followers are naturally designed to stand out as we live as representatives for Christ. However, for a variety of reasons, the title “Christian” is also attached to ideas of hypocrisy and rigidness. We live in a society that loves to ...
So you “say” you were/are a Christian?
Gospel
I often have atheists telling me that they used to be a Christian. These atheists use their “claimed” Christian background as a rallying point of authority for their arguments against the Holy Bible, Christ Jesus and those who follow Christ Jesus.
Many of these atheist claims include that they were ...
Just Walking . . .
Christian Walk
What if we took our relationship with God seriously? Would we spend less time talking and more time walking?

The Testimony of a Sinner

Powerful are the words of the apostle Paul who declared, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth: to the Jew first and also to the Greek” (Rom. 1:16, KJV). Given the background of ...
Being a Follower of Christ
Gospel
The hardest thing about being a follower of Christ is that there must be a recognition and willingness to see that this whole thing (life) is not about us. It was never designed to be that way. So much of the trouble we seen in our world today boil down ...
Gleaning Hope in Our Time
Hope
Across the board, no matter the generation, gender, financial or employment status, every single person needs “it”—without it, life becomes mere existence at best.
But, the person who possesses this can survive—even thrive—under the most inhumane or desolate conditions:

The genesis of an extraordinary idea.
I Am Not Ashamed
I am not ashamed began with a simple conversation and prayerful consideration of what message America needs to hear most right now. We knew we wanted a message that would focus on the Word of God. A powerful message that would resonate in the hearts of believers and challenge people everywhere to think about God. We also wanted a message that would offer a clear call to Christians around the world to stand unashamedly and uncompromisingly on the Bible.
I am not ashamed
I Am Not Ashamed
I am not ashamed. Think about who these words were written by, and the time period when they were written. I think of the apostle Paul and his many shipwrecks; his being thrown in prison and being persecuted and left for dead. Yet Paul wrote most of the New Testament ...
I am not ashamed to make a difference

An outward-focused pursuit of love
I Am Not Ashamed
Courage means compassion. For me, not being ashamed of the gospel isn’t just an inward-focused pursuit of a holy God. It’s also an outward-focused pursuit of love. Sure, I have a wife and kids to love (and be loved back), but that’s just a start. If I ...

We often like to think big: big churches, big conferences, big plans for the future. After all, “big” gets results. And if we’re going to do something like living for God and not being ashamed, we want that to be big, too. But you can’t do big everyday ...
