I think I’ll coin a new word: Churchianity. Sometimes, I don’t see a lot of Christianity. Instead, I only see “churchianity.” What is churchianity? Churchianity is the busy-ness, spectator sport of attending a weekly corporate worship service or two, but not living out a life fully committed as a follower of Christ on other days…
I thank the Lord for the great Bible teachers I have had in Sunday school, church, seminary, and in my personal life. I am still learning so much about the Word of God and realize I have so far to go. It’s always sad to me to talk to people in counseling who are biblically…
…put in the hard work and sacrifice required to get there. This is true of counselees and it’s true of me! I want the result but do I want to pay my dues? In other words, people want well-behaved children. They want that end result. However, they are not willing to spend the time training…
I find myself teaching biblical truths to Christians who mistakenly think it’s heresy because they are so conformed to the pattern of this church world. In other words, sometimes the Gospel seems like heresy to people who are not used to hearing it and watch more TV than they read their Bibles! Just a commentary…
Think about it: If you are on vacation and resting, then you are NOT working. The second you start working while being on vacation, your rest stops. The opposite is true. When you are working hard, you are not resting. The second you stop working and start resting, then work stops. You cannot do both….
Many people have the right heart but the wrong message. The message is what counts. The truth is vital. Without truth, there really is no true love. Here are some examples of the messages we proclaim in this ministry because we proclaim Christ alone (Col. 1:28): Be Transformed (Rom. 12:1-2; 2 Cor. 3:18) Transformation, not…
Why do we offer people anything less than Christ? I love what Peter says in Acts 3:6 in the following historical account about a beggar crying out for alms (I liken it to crying out for a medication like Prozac) when what he really needed was Christ but he had no idea about his real…
One of the very pieces of EVIDENCE that show that addiction is NOT a “disease” was told to me by a police officer commenting about the addictive properties of crystal meth. After the FIRST usage of crystal meth, 70% of people become physically addicted to it (aka ENSLAVED in the Bible). Crystal meth is POWERFUL and no joke. It’s…
Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Teen Challenge’s women’s program. I came away VERY impressed at their approach. They are tough but very loving to those ladies. They speak the truth in love while serving both men and women at two separate locations (which I highly recommend programs that separate men from women). Addiction…
Isaiah 5:20 says this: Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Sadly, our culture continues to call evil things “good” by renaming sinful choices as diseases or excuses that…
