Send us Fan Mail Sanctification is a word that described the process in a believer's life where they are being purified and continually pushed toward holiness.  

Send us Fan Mail The Israelites in the Old Testament had a lot of ups and down with the Lord.  God would show them mercy and they would rejoice momentarily then fall back into the same ungodly behavior.  But God still showed them favor they didn't deserve but there is a point where that favor ran out which is good reminder to the Church, especially those who live their lives offending God the...

Send us Fan Mail The word circumcision is used many times in the Bible and those unfamiliar with the word may think this is really weird but there is a significance to the word and a spiritual application to having our hearts circumcised that reiterates the need to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh.  

Send us Fan Mail As a new believer, learning the Scriptures I ran into verses where it challenged me to look at my own relationship with God and determine if I was actually a true child of God or fake pretending to be one.  Surrendering to Jesus is difficult for many because we don't know what to do as a "Christian."  But He meets us where we are and when we yield to Him and open up...

Send us Fan Mail Many times in our lives when something bad happens, we can feel like we are cursed.  But when we examine what really happens when a believer strays from the path of righteousness we should understand that in the Scriptures there are ample warnings against rebelling against God and ignoring those warnings brings about natural consequences.  So willfully tempting God can result in w...

Send us Fan Mail In the Scriptures innocent blood being shed is not only forbidden but it requires justice.  God, who is rich in mercy and grace, calls for capital punishment on anyone who sheds innocent blood.  And as the world has grown much colder toward God, especially in our country, we see innocent blood being shed routinely but with no real justice.  But justice will be served one day and i...

Send us Fan Mail In my relationship with God I want good things.  I don't want bad things in my life rather I want to experience and possess things that are good.  And I have discovered the road to a life where we lack little is not working hard to be rich rather it's simply yielding to Jesus in humility, following Him and taking Him serious.  Then He blesses us with things that are good...

Send us Fan Mail IN the church today as well as historically, people can be divided into two groups.  Those who honestly fear God and those that don't.  Those that actually fear God in the context of holy fear are much more likely to step out into the will of God and follow Him when He leads.  Those who have little or no fear in Him are usually those who walk in the flesh and really never cha...

Send us Fan Mail There have been things that I have experienced and observed that can really do a ministry harm.  When we are called into a ministry and it's confirmed that God is doing the calling, we need to be aware of pitfalls and attitudes that can neutralize or even destroy a healthy ministry. 

Send us Fan Mail In the Scriptures we see our hearts are not only searched by God, along with our minds, but from our hearts our mouths speak.  What comes out of our mouth shows what's in our hearts and taking inventory of our words will reveal a lot to the person who really wants to be honest with themselves and serve God with a pure heart.  Jesus will cleanse our hearts but we need to under...

Send us Fan Mail Many times people who are exposed to Jesus are discouraged from surrendering to Him for a variety of reasons.  But to forfeit such a great King is really foolish.  We should examine the Scriptures and prayer continually do address any doubt.  Then we have those questions answered we need to go for it and not hold back. 

Send us Fan Mail There are several places in Scripture were the conduct of a redeemed follower of Jesus is described.  This is not "old fashion religion" rather the result of a life impacted by the presence of the Holy Spirit within a person.  The change in behavior is not a will power issue, it's a supernatural regeneration issue.  

Send us Fan Mail Life presents its trials to everyone.  Nobody lives without suffering at some level and this suffering can be confusing when it seems unfair.  But to the child of God, suffering is a process God uses to grow and refine us.  Therefore we can have peace in the suffering if we trust God in the process.  

Send us Fan Mail Paul confronts a sorcerer on the Island of Cyprus and uses the power of the Holy Spirit to defend the Gospel and lead a high ranking Roman official to Jesus.  

Send us Fan Mail As believers we can easily get distracted by life's monotony and become frustrated thinking of life as "the grind" where every day we simply grind away with no real purpose or end in sight.  But as children of God our lives are more than a mundane existence in a screwed up world.  Every day presents new opportunities to show this world the love of God and find bless...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode two kings of Judah are compared.  King Asa and King Hezekiah, both described as doing was right during their reigns.  However, Asa didn't finish that well whereas Hezekiah did.  We, as believers, must strive to finish our race well because that's what Jesus expects from us.  And He will provide the necessary things to make that happen.  All we need to do...

Send us Fan Mail In our journey with Jesus, we can trust that He will do the work in our lives day by day.  He will show the child of God how much He can be trusted.  In the Scriptures we see the trustworthiness of God and how he provides for His people.  

Send us Fan Mail  Deliverance from darkness is a part of every person's journey with Jesus.  In this interview we discuss what that looked like in the life of one man. 

Send us Fan Mail God shows His mercy to Ahab, a very wicked king, which causes Ahab to repent and avoid the immediate judgment of God.  

Send us Fan Mail The Scriptures teach us to respect those who are older and this is something our culture has lost sight of both in that we are not taught to respect older people when we are little, and old people who are degenerates make it hard to respect them.  But for believers we know what God wants from us and respecting our elders is one of them.  But the thing that we really miss is seekin...

Send us Fan Mail Peter addresses several issues in this chapter including the marriage relationship and how spouses are to treat one another.  

Send us Fan Mail The life of Peter is a good model for our understanding of what it takes to be a witness.  Peter's own confidence became a real stumbling block in his relationship with Jesus.  But through his journey, he found what it takes to be an effective witness for Jesus. 

Send us Fan Mail Every child of God is a leader in something.  We are not empowered by the Holy Spirit to simply do nothing.  We act when He tells us to.  We go where He tells us to go and we do what He tells us to do.  But godly leadership and worldly leadership have differences and as believers, understanding we are leaders in His Kingdom here and now show prompt us to seek wisdom from Him to le...

Send us Fan Mail Continuing through Peter's first letter and pursuing a deeper knowledge of God, chapter 2 addresses living our lives as "living stones" in the structure of the Kingdom of God reminding us that we are no longer people without spiritual direction so we must live in accordance with the will of God.  Submitting to the governing authorities is part of God's will for...

Send us Fan Mail Lust is something that effects a lot of people.  It's craving that which we know we should not have and it's consequences can be devastating.  We have an example of Eve and her bout with lust and the consequences but we also have a path toward victory for those who are serious about Jesus.
