That’s Not Christianity!
Posted on May 14, 2013 11 Comments
Jesus did not come to make bad men good. He came to make dead men live. Christianity is not religion. It is not self-improvement. It is not about a person doing his best to be holy. Christianity is Life. It is God’s Life, imparted to you, working powerfully in you, flowing miraculously through you.

What is the will of God for your life? Is it God’s will for you to marry her or him? Should you go to this college or that one? Should you resign your job and begin your own business? These types of questions can create uncertainty and anxiety among believers struggling to make right decisions. […]
Don’t Let Them Fool You!

“Truth is relative. All religions are the same. All that matters is that you do what makes you happy and you treat other people right. As long as you are sincere, God understands.” You’ve probably heard people express these sentiments. It’s becoming more and more popular to talk and think this way. But don’t be […]

When you look into your distant future, do you see things to get excited about? I do! And one of those things I am very excited about is the Rapture. The word “rapture” is not found in Scripture, but is taken from the Latin word “raptus” that is used to translate the phrase, “caught up,” […]
The Gospel In Four Words
Posted on April 3, 2013 8 Comments
Here is the Gospel in four words-not I, but Christ; or simply, Christ in my place. Christ in my place on the cross, Christ in my place in the presence of the Father, Christ in my place in the presence of my enemies, Christ in my place in prayer, Christ in my place in the […]

Many people come to God in prayer like they are going to the grocery store. They march into the throne room with their grocery carts and grocery lists and start walking up and down the aisles of heaven shouting, “I want this, and I want that, and while you are at it, give me some […]

Do you know that God’s Word works like medicine and that it can heal your spirit, soul, and even your body? Unfortunately, if you are a typical Christian, your relationship with the Word is extremely shallow. You spend very little time time meditating and renewing your mind in it. And that is a big mistake, […]
