  • What is the Point of Discipleship?

    What is the Point of Discipleship?

    Genuine discipleship seems to be virtually lost in the organized church today. We have many lessons, sermons, classes, conferences, revivals, rallies, concerts, and camps; but genuine humbling and honest discipleship is absent. Most people are not growing more mature in the faith. Relationships with Christ are not deepening. Unity is more and more a rarity.…

  • God’s Name and Rest

    As we continue through the Ten Commandments, we remind ourselves of the Law’s purpose. The Law was given as a sign of the covenant that God made with the nation of Israel to serve as a witness against the nation of Israel (and against us). We remember that as we read through the Law, we…

  • The Book of Revelation

    The Book of Revelation

    This week, we get to begin the book of Revelation. Before we get into the book of Revelation I need to make a couple of preliminary statements that will carry us through the next two months. First, the purpose of Johns letter (the book of Revelation) was to implore believers to stay faithful to God…

We struggle against addictions. We struggle against sin. We struggle to share with others. We struggle to be a part of something that matters. We struggle…

  • A Mission for Us!

    A Mission for Us!

    The Gospel is a great light in this dark world and Christ has called us to share it. It is our mission as people of God and our mission as a local church. One reason I am so proud to be Southern Baptist is because, as a denomination, we hold mission work as a very…

  • Is Christian Faith Worth It?

    People don’t often want to invest themselves into something that is not worth it. This month, I’ve been writing about what the Christian faith actually is. Together, we’ve discovered that it is faith specifically in the person of Christ and that it is a faith of acceptance, honesty, truth, forgiveness, rock you to the core…

  • Is my worship pleasing to God?

    I like to think that I do a whole lot for my wife. I will wash the dishes (sometimes). I will take out the trash, mow the lawn, drive when she doesn’t want to and even kill the spiders that we find in the house. At home, there is still a shelf that needs to…
