The goal of our lives should be that our will would become immersed and ultimately integrated into the will of God. Yet, there is a great blockade to that for many, and Jesus calls it out in this text, it is either the one who is rich in this world and broke before God, that is the rich man of the parable, or it is those who are not abundantly wealthy but who are driven by anxiety over whether or...

There are many phrases and statements made around church which we have heard thousands of times but of which many of them are not clear in our minds. One such phrase is, “The Will of God.” We talk about “Doing the will of God,” and we pray for “God’s will to be done.” But does it not seem that for many of us, those are statements made around church but perhaps not translating into practical living...

How many times we hear statements like this, “He was a fine Christian man,” or “She was such a dear Christian lady,” but what do those statements mean? Paul was not propagating Christianity, but Paul was preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ! And the life which we have been called to, redeemed for, is not a life of a religious system, not a life of conformity to dogmas and creeds, but we have been...

We commonly understand Psalm 14:1 to be the most direct address to what we call atheism in all the Bible. David writes here, “It is a truly foolish person who believes that there is no God.” This word fool, in the Hebrew, is the word nabal , “Nabal” means folly, or foolishness; it is a person who is lacking in understanding. The word folly originally meant someone weak in intellect, which is ironi...

In Ephesians 6 we have this well-known passage on the Armor of God, and we emphasize the armor but may have overlooked the most critical part of this entire passage, and that is found in verse 18, Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; There is nothing more essential to being strong in the Lord th...

Friends of God are not those who get everything right, but those who deeply long to know God, to know His righteousness and to live in it. To be a faithful friend to God means to be full of faith (faith-full)! It means to believe God, to trust him completely, and to love him and follow him with all the heart, soul, mind, and body. Before I can be true to my wife, I must be true to God. Before I ca...

In the church today, Christianity is popular, we may want to be with other Christians, be like other Christians, but true discipleship is considered weird, it is actually not wanted in most churches today.  So, that leads us to the question, what is true discipleship? What happened to it? How do we get back to it? And it was in reading this passage again this morning that I was seized by the...
