For the last two shows, we’ve been discussing the question: can Christianity still change the world? This week we’ll discuss a crucial aspect of the New Testament’s answer: on the cross, Jesus paid for all sin, destroying the main obstacle in the way of His kingdom’s renewing power. Now, He has launched His redeeming reign and is transforming the world, person by person, soul by soul! We took a bi...

Did the Old Testament promise that Jesus' kingdom would change the world? Psalm 22:27-28 declares that one day, “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, And all the families of the nations Shall worship before You. For the kingdom is the Lord’s, And He rules over the nations.” Yet even with promises as powerful as this, many believers still struggle to believe Jesus can use...

In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus commanded us to “Go…and make disciples of all the nations…teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you” (NKJV). For centuries, the church obeyed this commandment, preaching the gospel to whoever would hear, and changing the very fabric of society in the process. But today, with darkness closing all around us, many believers have lost hope that the church...

Jesus said, "I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18) Jesus is building that church, and we see the reality of it sprinkled across the land, and I praise God for that. I also praise God for the pastors and Bible teachers who faithfully teach God's Word the way God wants it. But what happened with the rest that calls themselves a "church" but embr...

God's Truth Matters is a message urging believers to embrace God's absolute truth described in God's Word. Brian teaches our opinion doesn't matter to God if it conflicts with God's Word. His Word is the final say on everything from spiritual matters to vitally important moral issues like morality, gender, abortion, etc. This message examines why God's truths found in Scripture must be first and f...

(This audio was taken from the video by the same name.) This morning I woke up from a very vivid dream. To be honest, I generally don't remember dreams. When I do, it usually contains a message for me or others from the Lord. This has happened a few times in the last couple of months. In this short dream, a person was lying facedown on some stairs going downward. I could see they were gasping for...

I was thinking this morning about the term “social distancing.” Few had ever heard of it before the COVID-19 Crisis. Now everyone knows the term, and governments everywhere encourage us to practice it. But I’m not talking about social distancing in this devotional. Instead, I want to introduce a little-known practice that the whole Christian community should avoid. I call it “God-distancing.” What...

This morning I woke suddenly out of a deep sleep. In my dream, I heard one loud knock on the door. The visitor didn’t knock twice or in series. Just once—loud and clear. Then I awoke. The knock came from someone expecting to be heard. I knew it was the Lord waking me up, so I got up immediately and began to pray and seek Him. I sensed He had something specific to say about that knock. Was it a mes...

Fear is spiritual cancer; one of the most vicious enemies of our souls. It works with horrendous strength to invade our minds with uncertainty. Fortunately, fear is no match for the Holy Spirit’s power. David testifies: “I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.” (Psalm 34:4 NKJV). Yes, fear doesn’t stand a chance when we seek God in worship and prayer and meditate on...

Paul warned, “In the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves..." (2 Timothy 3:1-2 NKJV). I genuinely believe this is being fulfilled in our lifetime, and the darkness will only get darker. But we need not despair, for God’s light will shine ever brighter than the darkness. First, He’s calling us to join His army of light. Listen for a stirring call to obey God’s mi...
