  • Demonology 101

    Demonology 101

    There are quite a few misconceptions about angels and demons in our current society. Most people will get their doctrine from popular television shows and movies. When we were doing ministry in Oklahoma City, we had a couple guys visit our church. They had style. I liked them. When we got to talking, I realized…

    What if We Really Believed the Storm Obeys Jesus?

    Do you desire to see God work? I don’t know of any person who would answer this question with a “No.” Even the most sincere atheist would claim that if he or she could see God at work he would no longer be an atheist. Of course we desire to see God work! In the…

    Why Consider Ourselves Unworthy?

    Have you ever wondered what Jesus feels when He sees the faith of His people? I’m not sure we usually perceive Jesus as celebrating the faith of His people. We usually merely see Jesus as being present and helpful and someone we go to with our requests. We may see Him as the one who…

  • Stop Sharing ‘Your’ Testimony

    Stop Sharing ‘Your’ Testimony

    I hear all sorts of testimonies. I love ministries like I am Second. I love to hear people’s stories. Normally when people try to share Christ or the Gospel, their testimony falls into one of two categories. The first category is personal experience. People will share about their past and how God has changed them…

  • Do You Own Your Faith? (video)

    In middle school I remember being this awkward kid with wire-framed glasses and big hair. I loved art, played basketball (well, at least I sat on the bench), went to FCA, slept in my classes and spent time with friends. My focus was to finish my school work (or pretend to) so that I could…
