  • What is Faith, Really?

    What is Faith, Really?

    This week, we get to begin our study of Paul’s letter to the Romans. This letter presents us with a holistic view of the Christian faith. It is an umbrella commentary on the Old Testament, observing Christ in light of the Old Testament, a proclamation of the Gospel, and a brief application of that Gospel…

  • Why God Uses People

    Why God Uses People

    I have discovered in this life that there are many people who sell themselves short. Because we live in a works-based society, we tend to be overly critical of ourselves and overly critical of others based on performance. We convince ourselves that because we don’t have a certain level of talent or skill, we are…

  • God’s Process in My Brokenness

    God’s Process in My Brokenness

    On Friday there was yet another school shooting. There were ten people who lost their lives and more who were wounded. We ought to lift up the victims and their families in prayer. Our thoughts are with them. My heart breaks when we hear about things like this happening in the world. We always ask…

  • God Delivers for His Glory

    God Delivers for His Glory

    Last week, we discovered or reminded ourselves of two things. First, that God is working all things together for His glory. We sometimes make the mistake of thinking that God is working for our glory. So, when things don’t work out for our glory, we, as slaves to depravity, point our fingers at God and…

  • Living in Bad Circumstances?

    Living in Bad Circumstances?

    Do you ever feel like you are in the worst possible situation? If you were to design your own life, what would you change? How many negative circumstances throughout your life would you have avoided? Would you want to have more money, more friends, or more influence? Would you want a different family? Would you…

  • Is Faith Actually Profitable?

    Is Faith Actually Profitable?

    Last week, we learned together that we eagerly give our time to the things that we love. If we love Christ, we spend time with Him. If we love people, we spend time with them. If we love food, we spend our time eating. Amen? The action of taking time to listen to what God…

  • Visible Love

    Visible Love

    How can I know if I actually love God? How can I know that I am actually a disciple of Christ? These questions are valid questions, questions that Christians, specifically those who have been raised in church, struggle with because they don’t want to be guilty of going through the motions. Particularly, I think of…

  • Doing New Things Urgently- Missions

    Doing New Things Urgently- Missions

    When we lived in North Carolina, we had been at a church for about eight months. We took the youth to summer camp, and our being at summer camp meant there were always pictures being taken. When we arrived back home and looked at the pictures, I saw that I was much bigger than I…

  • Why We Fail At Discipleship

    Why We Fail At Discipleship

    My wife and I really love pizza. There was a period of her pregnancy during which her doctor told her that she shouldn’t eat heavy meals, bread, or much sugar. I was going to attempt this diet with her. The problem? We really love pizza! One day, the craving was so bad that we found…
