We Are Sick

by

Richard Foster once wrote, “Conforming to a sick society is to be sick”. Looking around the Church today, I have to say we are sick. Every day I read of another pastor or church caving to societal pressure. We are conforming to the world instead of conforming to the likeness of God’s Son. We are conforming to the very world the Apostle Paul told us to come out of (Romans 12:2).

Instead of renewing our minds with the truth of God’s Holy Word, we are saturating our hearts in man-made philosophies and opinions so we do not offend or risk persecution. Too many church leaders today are more concerned with the number of people attending their services than they are with the number of people being saved from an eternity apart from God. I can’t think of anything sicker than that.

Be Encouraged

by

This world will try to break you. Satan is using everything in his power to cripple you and bring you to your knees. But be encouraged! Jesus has overcome the enemy, and the Spirit of the living God resides in you. There is nothing this world or any of the evil in it can do to stop the mission of Jesus from being fulfilled, and you have a vital role to play.

The last command given to us by our Lord was to go and tell everyone about Him (Matthew 28:18-20). At that moment, He commissioned everyone who would believe in Him to be missionaries of His gospel. You don’t have to travel around the world to fulfill this mission. You can be a missionary in your workplace, neighborhood, and even your grocery store.

You Have No Rights

by

I’m astounded by the number of professing Christians these days who are joining popular cultural choruses demanding their rights to engage in activities in direct contradiction of the Bible. For someone surrendered to the Lord, they can never say they have a right to anything. Let me put it bluntly: if you have surrendered your life to Christ, you have no rights.

All of your rights have been signed over to Jesus. You have pledged to live your life by His standards and according to His Word. If you think you still have a right to do anything you desire, then you don’t know Jesus. He demands we leave everything behind and follow Him.

God’s Timeless Word

by

You cannot help but notice the drifting away from Biblical principles being manifested in the Western Church today. Decades of compromise are resulting in a Church that has little if any resemblance to the early Church we see in the book of Acts. The Church has never been perfect. Only Jesus, the head of the Church, has that distinction. But His holiness beckons each of His followers to strive towards His example.

He has given His Word to guide us in our pursuit of Him. The Word of God changes no more than the One who spoke those words and inspired men to write His message throughout the years. Culture changes. Circumstances ebb and flow. But God and His Word are timeless. We must never make the mistake of considering His Word to be out of touch with our modern lives.

Our Words Create Worlds

by

In the beginning, God spoke, and the world was created. His Word alone created the world we live in to this day. After creating the world, God created man and woman in His image (Genesis 1:27). He created us to resemble Him, to do the things He does. As His image-bearers, we have the power of God in our lives to do the things that He does.

We are creative because God first created. We exist because God exists. If God would somehow cease to exist, all of His creation would disappear as well. In the same way that God spoke and created the world, our words create worlds as well. The words we speak define the world around us.
