    Seek Understanding

    I love to cook. Sunday for Koinonia (a Greek word meaning fellowship) at TCATS, I made some jalapeño poppers! What I like about jalapeño poppers is that the peppers are a canvas on which I get to craft a (hopefully wonderful) combination of flavors. To do so, I have to understand the way that flavors…

  • The Forgotten Place of Specialized Ministry in the Local Church Meeting

    The Forgotten Place of Specialized Ministry in the Local Church Meeting

    I came to Christ when I was fifteen years old. I was part of a youth group that ran more than 100 students on Wednesday evenings. We had everything that we could want in a youth ministry. This robust and dynamic youth ministry was part of the reason many of the parents chose to plug…

    The Forgotten Mission of the Local Church Meeting

    Merry Christmas! This week we will celebrate the biggest holiday in America. People have shopped for presents, told stories about the babe in the manger, watched movies about the Grinch, and many are hearing again from Luke, chapter two, at church this morning.

  • What Happens to the Soul When the Body Dies?

    What Happens to the Soul When the Body Dies?

    What have we learned so far about Heaven and Hell? There are only two possible destinations. There is the resurrection to judgment and the resurrection to life. Those who experience the resurrection to life will experience satisfaction and fulfillment as they are with the Master. Those who experience the resurrection of judgment will remain outside…

  • Are Heaven and Hell Real Places, or merely concepts?

    Are Heaven and Hell Real Places, or merely concepts?

    A survey conducted by LifeWay and Ligonier Ministries reveals what many self-proclaimed Christians believe about different theological topics. The results of this survey can be found at stateoftheology.com. In this survey, 66% of about 3,000 ‘Christians’ surveyed said they believed in the literal existence of a place called Hell. That means 34% believe Hell to…

  • Is There Life After Death?

    Is There Life After Death?

    Is there really life after death? Virtually every worldview insists that there is. Most people, when asked if they believe there is life after death, say, “Yes.” Is there any evidence or is it just something that we want to assume because we have a desire to live forever? First of all, there is no…
