  • Am I a Friend of God?

    Am I a Friend of God?

    How would you define friendship? I typed “friend” into my web-browser’s image search and these images are some that came up. The first picture is a website banner for a rewards program. When we think about friendship, it is tempting to think about our friends as people who, by our knowing, benefit us in some…

  • Haralding the King, What Evangelism Accomplishes

    Haralding the King, What Evangelism Accomplishes

    What is evangelism and why do we practice it? If God draws people to Himself and if He is the one delivering people and sustaining them, it doesn’t make much sense that we would need to practice evangelism in order to win people for the kingdom. Yet, that is often the phraseology we use, and…

  • Carry On Local Church, The Gospel Didn’t Stop With You.

    Carry On Local Church, The Gospel Didn’t Stop With You.

    It is a true statement of most churches, genuine or not, I have been in. They were planted by a missionary or by a local group of people. They talk about evangelism. They talk about sharing the good news of Christ with the community, but that is where the evangelistic work of most local churches…

  • 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…

  • The Christian and the Outcast

    The Christian and the Outcast

    I was recently working a secular job where there was very little actual care for the customers. Every way in which the business was operated only served one purpose, to get customers to spend money and to illicit customers to continue to spend money. Virtually every practice in this retail chain was ingenue or dishonest.…

  • God’s Purpose or Ours?

    God’s Purpose or Ours?

    Over the past two weeks, we have seen a common theme come up. Evangelism is necessary for those who wish to live as God’s image. This idea speaks boldly about the state of many churches in the modern world. Conflict is prominent in too many congregations. Churches are split. People cannot get over their disagreements.…

  • What if we loved Christ?

    What if we loved Christ?

    In the Christian faith, we have this weird phrase that no one really understands. We say that people must be born again or be saved. There are a couple of questions that usually come up when we are speaking to someone who isn’t familiar with Christian lingo, or Christianeze. The first is this, “What am…

  • Can we engage secular culture?

    No matter who you are and what age group you are in. Social media is a phenomenon that has impacted your life. From the early days of email correspondence and AIM to networks like Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat that have become so popular; social media is something that is a major part of the world…

  • Are You a Withered Old Tree?

    Last week I was asked why Jesus, this loving guy who was the Messiah that would save all who would believe in Him, would, in His anger, curse a fig tree and cause it to wither. I want to spend some time looking at this. It is what comes next in our study of Matthew…
