  • On The Day of the Lord

    As I think about this life and everything that pulls my attention, I am torn because I have so many passions and desires and dreams. While they can be good and used for ministry (every Christ follower is in ministry), the pursuits of this world can actually lead me away from God. In high school,…

  • How God Really Feels About Wicked People

    Previously, I wrote concerning what Peter claimed about false teachers and what it took for even someone who has believed in Christ to be seen as wicked before God. What we discovered is that someone can come to Christ, then turn back and again be entangled in the things of the world. We learned together…

  • When Good Christ Followers Become Wicked…

    Previously, I wrote about the fact that there are false teachers in this world. Teachers who might have started well and with Christ as their motivation, but who began building their own empire in this wasteland instead of working to advance God’s kingdom, and instead of teaching the truth, they entice people by teaching what…

  • What separation from God really means

    When I was in college I had on of the oddest dreams. In the dream, I woke up and had an immense craving for skittles. I walked into the kitchen, opened up the pantry and chose one bag of candy from the stacks and stacks that were there. I opened the bag and enjoyed the…

  • Does God promise success?

    If you are like me, then church growth matters to you. The success of the church and its ministries matters and my heart is so burdened for the people around us. I know that there are plenty of resources to help with church growth and outreach, but I was curious about just how many books…

  • Can we live a legendary life?

    In 1527, the Swiss Guard made history as 189 guardsmen held of an army that is reported to have been 20,000 strong. A renegade army under the deposed Duke of Bourbon sacked Rome. Ignoring the command of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, they marched on to the Vatican to plunder its riches and to…

  • If things are not the way you want, CHANGE ‘EM OR LEAVE! What is patient endurance?

    There was a young woman who did not really fit in at her school. She wanted to feel beautiful, but no guy ever looked her way. She wanted to have friends, the kind of friends you could share anything with or just show up at their house anytime; but everyone else already had a place…

  • God’s promise to a holy people

                Throughout the book of Leviticus, God constantly describes his own holiness and calls His people to also be holy. Holiness, as we’ve learned, is a simple concept. We worship God in a way that pleases Him. We live according to God’s created order; meaning we serve Him as King and treat all other people…

  • What in the world is holiness?

    Imagine you are a great painter and you have an idea for your next masterpiece. You pull out your sketch book to record the idea, and it looks phenomenal. Next, you pull out your canvas, paint the backdrop and a rough outline. You work from back to front painting the simple colors, then the more…

  • Is my worship pleasing to God?

    I like to think that I do a whole lot for my wife. I will wash the dishes (sometimes). I will take out the trash, mow the lawn, drive when she doesn’t want to and even kill the spiders that we find in the house. At home, there is still a shelf that needs to…
