When talking about evolution versus creation, there is a phrase that makes all the difference in the world: “fine-tuned argument.”

Because following Jesus is exactly what it means to be a Christian, every believer is called to be a leader!

I won’t soon forget my trip to Ground Zero a month after 9/11. As a former New Yorker, I needed to do this for my own psyche.

Years ago, I read that if we change the meaning of our words, we end up changing history if we aren’t careful.

God must be at the center of family ministry to ensure that the ministry will be a blessing for everyone in the church.

We need to be able to speak the language, to have at least a cursory insight into the worldviews of those we are likely to encounter.

We will be persecuted and hated because of the god of this world--Satan. Run the race God has given us--endure to the end. Never give up!

Gospel-focused preaching has a two-fold aim: the saving of souls and helping believers better understand and appreciate the gospel.

When we pray Bible and study the Bible, we are mind melding with God. Let Him put His mind in us so we can become one with Him.

We were created with community in mind. God designed us to live in a community forever in perfect fellowship.

A mind-boggling truth of the Christian faith is, followers of Jesus are to be the incarnation of Jesus, the Living Jesus in the world today!

Let’s consider some of the lessons that emerge from John’s life and ministry, which, for a play on words, I’m calling “the Baptist way.”

Good Christian education is not about students parroting information back for a grade-rather, proper Christian Education is transformational.

Are you off the couch yet? Are you ready to be a part of calling the Church of God to be part of a “Priesthood of All Believers”?

There’s a powerful ministry available to the church! This ministry is prayer and in prayer there is much power.

We are saved by grace, not works. We DO the law (Ten Commandments) as it is not voided by grace. We are only saved by grace through faith.

The good news is that there’s no shortage of coaches. There’s a coach for everyone! Don’t lead without yours.

There is a kingdom that is and is yet to come. We are saved and included in that kingdom only by the grace of the delay.

This lens can be reduced to 2 questions: what does the Bible say we should do and believe? And what does it say not to do and not to believe?

We must not grow weary of the pursuit of truth. Theology is nothing less than the pursuit of knowing God Himself.

God’s eternal kingdom will begin when Jesus Christ, having put all enemies under His feet, turns the kingdom over to the father.

Resolve from now on to consistently keep a sharp cutting edge. And what better time for this new start than at the start of a new year.

The best strategy for growing people spiritually is to first grow ourselves. In so doing we model the change we wish to see in them.

The great commission is to make disciples, not converts, and so our evangelistic methods should be in keeping with our goal.

Even in eternity, when death and pain and sin and suffering and evangelism and prophecy has ended, there is still worship!

Worship is a challenging word. Yet, worship is a far bigger and more important issue than we tend to make it.

The Old Testament was a powerful tool used by the gospel writers and the apostle Paul to proclaim the gospel of salvation.

Since God has called us, we live for a cause greater than ourselves, and our lives continue to make an impact long after we’re gone.

This collective jolt back to reality only happens when a nation finds itself at “Ground Zero,” and we need Ground Zero perspectives again.

Our work becomes our worship. The work of our hands is elevated from a necessary evil we engage in to a labor of love done “as unto the Lord.”

Ministry must be motivated by a genuine compassion for the needs of the masses and is about meeting people's needs.

If we could imagine the first family in a world with no consequences of the fall, then we could imagine what an ideal family might look like.

Have you noticed that it seems so many Christians are turning away from God and the church lately? What makes us do that?
