    God's Word: The Bottom Line
    The Word of God is not a resource for believers. Rather, it is the Source for everything the faithful do and encounter.

      There is something in each of us that longs for love that is true – unconditional and never-ending.

      For some, even life's greatest obstacles are unable to overcome faithfulness, commitment, and love.

        I cannot tell you the times I’ve heard someone pray in a worship service, “Lord, help us get something out of this today.” As though it were all about them.
        A Deadly Mentality
        “What’s in it for us?” is the prevailing principle of decision-making for too many churches. Here are three areas in which self-centeredness is killing the church.

          Not only does God still care about nations under the New Covenant, He has given us clear instructions on how they are to operate (Romans 13:3-4).
          God Still Cares About Each Nation
          While it is true that God deals with people on an individual basis, it is also true that God has desires and hopes for entire nations.

            Christians often differentiate biblical meditation from Eastern mysticism by pointing out that it is filling one’s mind rather than emptying it. We should go a little further with this.
            Burning Coals
            Christians are to fill themselves with the word of God, not empty their minds of thoughts.

              I remember a preacher urging his congregation to “preach to yourself instead of listening to yourself.”
              Keep the Gospel Before You
              Here are some practical ways to thrive in your walk with Christ.

                Either God’s Word has authority or it does not, and you cannot accept its moral imperative in one place and reject its moral imperative in another place. It simply does not work.
                Who Are the Real Bible-Quoting Hypocrites?
                Liberals show no interest in the Bible until they think they can use it against believers.

                  My heart’s desire is to reflect both grace and truth – the grace of Jesus and the truth, even the hard truths, of the gospel.
                  Juggling My Attitudes: Jonah, Jude, or Jesus?
                  While living in the midst of political and cultural chaos, it is important to have an attitude that reflects both grace and truth – the grace of Jesus and the truth, even the hard truths, of the gospel.

                    We’ve become Eve allowing ourselves to be drawn into conversations where irreverent babble is lionized: “Did God actually say ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden?’” That conversation ended up well for Eve and her family didn’t it?
                    On Sunshine and Rainbows and Irreverent Babble
                    Somewhere down the line the Great Commission seems to have changed from "Go, make disciples" to "Go make friends."
