Unity And Truth

Posted on

I have to admit that I’m tempted to think I’m right most of the time.  Anyone else suffer from this delusion?  It can really get me in trouble, especially when it’s fueled with emotion.   I would argue that it’s one of satan’s greatest tools to produce division in the body of Christ.  We must […]

I Am Free

Posted on

I remember the days well when I was in bondage and slavery to sin. My flesh ran wild satisfying itself with as many of Earth’s pleasures as possible.  My pride was an unquenchable fire that drove my every decision.  I thought I was free, when in fact, the very opposite was true.   God revealed […]

What else is greater than Christ Himself?  I will boast in Him day and night now until forevermore! Why can we boast in the things pertaining to God? Because The Father […]

Forgiveness Is Not Trust

One of the greatest dangers in strained or abusive relationships is confusing forgiveness and trust.  I’d like to share some clarifying points that may help if you’re in one of those relationships: Unforgiveness is not an option: God is clear that we are to forgive those who sin against us. When we withhold forgiveness as […]

One of the greatest hindrances to the great commission is no sense of urgency.  Since we woke up this morning, we logically assume we will do the same tomorrow. After working with thousands of people over the years one thing has become painfully clear: our time here is limited. I’ve lost friends, family, co-workers and […]
