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?

These are questions church leaders should be asking. The challenging circumstances of the past 15 months make them more pressing than ever.

Jesus is building His church; let us rise and build churches that are agents of transformation, all for love’s sake, at such a time as this.

In these moments we’re reminded that while some leaders lack competence, everyone has character. The real issue is, what kind of character?

Effective administration in each ministry means that the church’s ministries are working together for the edification of the church body.

Prayer is one of the most intimate forms of worship in which we open our hearts to God, to be able to grow and mature in the faith.

Prayer is a gift that allows leaders to come before God while God renews their mind and transforms them to be good and acceptable before God.

How does prayer connect us to God? Prayer is how we communicate with God and how He in return communicates back to us.

When done right, church administration is essential for accomplishing the heart of any effective church ministry—equipping discipleship.

Jesus chipped away at Peter to make a re-shaped disciple, every bit the opposite of what he was when Jesus first met him, firm like a rock!

An accurate understanding of God is essential to loving and serving Him well. Reading and studying the Bible makes you a theologian.
