I'll Be Honest

When the Bible describes the Devil, one of the chief attributes it gives to him is his power. Christian, remember that in your spiritual battle that you're not facing a lightweight. We're facing the one who the Bible actually calls, "the god of this world." But as powerful as he is, we must also remember that the One who's with us is far more powerful.

If we want to draw near to God, we can learn some very helpful realities from David in Psalm 86 now how to boldly approach God.

If we would draw near to God, we must first know God. We can only know who God is and what God is like from what He's revealed to us in His Word.

To what degree do you experience soul thirst for God? You don't have to give a thirsty person a list of steps on how to find water, they are looking for it. The Bible says to draw near to God, and you don't have to convince a thirsty person to draw near to water; in the same way, the Christian draws near to God because they thirst for Him. God has made this world full of shadows that represent spi...

Some of the questions dealt with tonight: 1. My question is a two-part one. The first part is would you encourage single parents who believe they are called to overseas missions to go? The second part is how would you encourage them? I ask because I am a single mother missionary. When the Lord first put the call in my soul I researched the idea of single parent missionary and honestly found nothin...

“I cheated on an exam when I was lost, what should I do about it?” It is far more difficult to live with a defiled conscience than to live with whatever consequences you might face for clearing your conscience. Those who are newly saved often find themselves now sensitive to sins from their past and God will give them the grace to deal with that which is appropriate to expose.

What could be more satisfying than having God draw near to you? But If you want God to draw near to you, you first need to believe that God drawing near is an actual reality and not just a theory. Do you really believe that if you draw near to God that He'll draw near to you?

In this live question and answer session, we spent the majority of our time dealing with questions about raising children and parenting.

In this excerpt, Tim Conway shares about his father's death and the things surrounding it, and what he shared while preaching at his father's funeral.

Our greatest need is drawing near to God; but if we're going to draw near to God, we need to have the right attitude. What should be our attitude when we draw near to God?

The Bible calls us to draw near to God but we also need to see the danger of drawing near to God. Have you ever truly considered who the God of the Bible is? The God of the Bible is not a soft pushover that we can manage and boss around; He's a dangerous God, and drawing near to Him is dangerous if we don't come the right way.

What is the answer to all of the unfulfilled desires that eat away at mankind? The supreme need for mankind is to draw near to God and to know Him. What need do you have that does not get answered by knowing Christ and partaking of His unsearchable riches?

Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”. – Ecclesiastes 12:1

How should someone in a church react when the elders are disagreeing over matters in the church? Are elders able to have different views on issues in the church? What if the pastors are disagreeing over how sin is being dealt with in the church?

Few things will eat up our spiritual life like bitterness will. Few things will grieve the Holy Spirit within us like unforgivness and grudges towards others. As difficult as it can be, we need to truly forgive others from our hearts. And if we find it hard to forgive others, we need to remember how God forgave us by giving His Son for us.

For us to be transformed into the image of Christ, one essential factor is that we don't conform to this world. We can't let the world define terms and morality for us; we have to renew our minds according to how God defines terms. In the end, the world's dictionary of definitions will be burned up and obliterated, but God's standards will endure forever.

If you are a Christian, your life is one of continual transformation into the image of Christ. But if we are to be transformed, we need to know the foundation of that transformation. If we fail to understand the foundation, then we will fail to have a Christ-like transformation.

In order to go to heaven, you must be as holy as God and have a perfect record in keeping all of God's commandments. Every human being has failed miserably, but praise God that Jesus Christ's righteousness can freely become ours by faith.

What does the Bible mean when it talks about the "old man"? Do we still have the old man? Is the old man completely gone? Is there a tension or balance between the two? Whatever the old man is, one thing we know for sure is that we need to put him off.

One of the results of the fall of Adam and Eve is that now all of us feel ashamed to be naked. No matter where you go in this world, everyone knows the shame of being naked and the need to cover themselves. And in a spiritual sense, we all are trying to cover ourselves before God. But our coverings won't cover us, only what God provides can cover us.

How are we to grow as Christians and as churches? The Bible describes us as a body, and in order for us to grow, we need to hold fast to the Head and also joined to one another. And one of the primary joints that will hold us together is speaking the truth in love to one another.

The Bible declares three distinct persons to be God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), but we need to remember that the Bible gives primacy to the Father. The Bible most certainly exalts Christ, but we can't forget that God the Father is said to be overall, including Christ.
