I want to raise a controversial subject because I don’t understand why we aren’t talking about this subject more. There is obviously something going on here. Just yesterday five people were baptized. Four people we baptized last July, and two last August. Last April I was present at the baptism of two fellow-believers, and six [...]
The Sufficiency of Christ and the Gospel…
I have to agree wholeheartedly with Timothy Keller here. I suspect that we might disagree as to the contents of the Gospel from some of his phrases but ultimately this statement is wholly true:
The main problem, then, in the Christian life is that we have not thought out the [...]
Even grandma had premarital sex, survey finds
This sad news. Most people in America have sex before they are married. With these stats so high, it would be hard to imagine that these numbers do not include people who consider themselves Christian. This is sad news indeed.
God is seriously concerned about holiness. Sexual purity is one [...]
To some of you, this may sound odd and ridiculous. But to others, like the attendees of Joel Olsteens world’s largest televised church and Kreflo Dollar$ “World-Changers Church” this is gospel truth. A recent CNN special on Christianity showed that these pastors, among others, are declaring a God who wants everyone to get rich. “Jesus [...]
That phrase drives me nuts. Every time a preacher really gets going preaching about righteousness he suddenly feels the need to point out that we are not going to be perfect. In fact, we can’t be perfect. That’s like a cross country team rallying themselves up before a race and then the coach saying, “I [...]
It is interesting to note that in James’ epistle, we are instructed not that God draws near to man, but that man needs to draw near to God. Mankind is inherently evil and wicked as the entire counsel of Scripture speaks to.
Jeremiah 17:9 - “The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately [...]

To answer his question - I say we side with the Puritans. Christmas has nothing to do with Christ. He wasn’t born in December. Everything about the holiday, from the feast and tree, to the gifts has some root in Pagan practice. The gifts today represent the entire form of consumerism [...]
If You want me to (2)
Just over two-thousand years ago Gabriel visited a young Jewish girl living in Palestine. Gabriel, a chief figure in God’s communication department comes to Mary with a very important message:
Luke 1:30-33 - “Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in [...]
The Great Commission
Therefore go and make disciples…
I think Rick Meigs hits the nail on the head regarding discipleship. If you find yourself wondering if you consider yourself a disciple, or thoughts about discipleship - read this post for a brief outline of some of the things you expect.
Obviously my biggest point of emphasis is on [...]
Commands to Christians about the Poor
Matthew 5.42″Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.”
How many times have I walked past a homeless person who asked for some change? This is a direct command of the Messiah in the Sermon on the Mount. [...]
