• The every day miracle in a world of selfies

    Healing isn’t a “show.” We’ve made it that.

  • The JOY of preaching the Word of God

    One of my great joys came when I got up from a chair to walk to the podium and the Lord said to me, “Now remember, it’s what I do with the word between your lips and their hearts that matters.” That is a tremendous lesson. If you do not trust God to do that, then will let you do…

  • We are at that moment

    This church has stepped into a new era that is exciting. Yet, we’re still by the Jordan River. We’ve just crossed. There is a whole new land to take.

  • Prayer for the day

    1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;     may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. 2 May he send you help from the sanctuary     and grant you support from Zion. 3 May he remember all your sacrifices     and accept your burnt offerings. (Selah) 4 May he give you the desire of your heart     and make all your plans succeed.…

  • The calling we have in culture

    We must understand the idea, once again, that pastors can indeed be teachers to the nations. This is a tough understanding because we have separated out true spiritual knowledge from “saving souls.”

  • Our massive cultural failure

    We aren’t producing disciples. We aren’t producing people who follow the character of Christ. As a result, we’ve failed to engage well in our society… and in particular our politics.

  • Jesus will invade your “safe place”

    If you think you don’t like “the Church” because of Christians… just wait until you actually meet Jesus.

  • “Being Saved” or Being Transformed

    Western Christianity talks a lot about “being saved,” but the Bible talks a lot about transformation.

  • Seeking his face, not his hand

    Jesus calls us to HIMSELF. He is truly ALL we need.

  • Am I so deaf?

    When will my heart be stirred enough?
