  • Distinguishing Sincere and Suspicious Love

    Distinguishing Sincere and Suspicious Love

    What is Biblical love? Everyone claims to love others. Every person seems to think he or she has a handle on what love is. There is not a single person I know who thinks him or herself to be unloving, but almost every person seems to intuitively know who, other than self, is unloving. I…

  • I Can’t Do All Things Through Him Who Gives Me Strength

    I Can’t Do All Things Through Him Who Gives Me Strength

    Over the last couple weeks, we have been working up to the battle between David and Goliath. We still won’t get there. Anticipation will build for one more week. Most of us are familiar enough with this story to know that David prevails over Goliath. At this point in the story, no one knows whether…

  • No, Jesus Didn’t Teach That!

    No, Jesus Didn’t Teach That!

    Come to Me I went through several versions and titles before deciding how to present this book to you. I am constantly reminded and troubled by the tendencies of so many authors and speakers in our day, who put words in Jesus’ mouth.

  • On Signs, Wonders, and Spiritual Gifts

    On Signs, Wonders, and Spiritual Gifts

    I would tell you a story, here, to get you interested in the topic presented to us this evening. I have plenty of experiences to share, but God has instructed us not to share primarily about our own experience. Instead, we are to share what His word tells us. So, we will simply explore the…

  • Barnabas Supported False Teaching Before Becoming God’s Missionary

    Barnabas Supported False Teaching Before Becoming God’s Missionary

    Last week we read of Peter’s many insufficiencies and sins against God, things that gave him every reason not to be in ministry. We saw the one reason Peter should have been in ministry- the name of Jesus Christ. In Galatians 2, we see that Peter was not the only preacher who struggled against sin…

  • Six Wrong Teachings Jesus Addressed Explicitly

    Six Wrong Teachings Jesus Addressed Explicitly

    In the previous two sections of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has first addressed His sermon to the intended audience- those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (v. 6) and those who will experience the trials that they will experience because of Christ (v. 11). He is talking particularly with His disciples. In the…

    Open Letter to Dave Gass, a pastor who recently left his faith

    Dave, I don’t know if you will read this or not. When I was a teenager, I saw the church in the way that you are describing now. God was a joke as far as I was concerned and I could really care less about religion of any kind. It was a crutch and an…

    Dear Leader, part 18 (Dangers of Self-Will and Prohibition)

    This exercise is a continuation of a series we started at Grace with our leadership while I served as interim there. For those who are not pastors or deacons, but who lead in some capacity in any arena of life, these books are a tremendous resource in Scripture. I encourage all of those who would…
