Ministers Of Reconciliation As Christians, our end game is to reconcile others to God. Paul calls us ministers of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:17-21). This goal applies whether it is regarding someone who is or isn’t walking in the Lord. Our desire should be for ALL to reconcile with Him. This goal never changes. Paul warns […]
As a Christian I stand for truth and love. My truth comes directly from God’s word which clearly points out we all have sinned and need a Savior. It also tells of a love that is willing to do whatever it takes to reconcile us even to the point of death. There are several who […]
There are few things in life more precious than freedom. I’ve heard dozens of testimonies of people who have suffered under the hands of their own government. Now, citizens of the United States, these individuals are so thankful for the freedoms they have to work, buy property, and even vote. At the risk of sounding […]

Your Christian walk is a relationship not unlike a courting relationship. In the beginning it’s very exciting and new. After marriage, it can; however, turn a little stagnant. You can still go through the motions, even in your sleep, but the zeal is missing. The same is true with our relationship with God. The […]
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 […]
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 […]
