Transforming Truth With Jeff Lyle

One of the most dangerous possibilities for all of us is to receive specific instructions from someone who doesn’t have precise clarity or understanding. We are surrounded by people who have eyes shut and mouths wide open. Politics, education, entertainment, and religion are all spheres that are filled with people who do plenty of communicating. Their bold speech is rarely backed by helpful wisdom...

The sequence of events at the close of this age are a fascinating topic for many Christians. Many do not pay much attention to these kinds of things. Still others have been taught and believed a theology that promises them an early escape before any of the disturbing deceptions and cataclysms hit the earth. The careful student of God’s Word discovers the numerous warnings about the Christian’s nee...

The modern Christian is more than likely led more by what he/she feels than what he/she thinks. In the American Church great emphasis is placed upon how we feel about God, how we feel about others, and how we feel about ourselves. While our emotions are gifts from God, we are not to be primarily led by them. We are to be led by our beliefs and convictions, and these are more a matter of what we th...

Every mother understands the crests of valleys of conceiving, carrying, birthing, and raising children. Motherhood can carry the highest joys and the deepest groans. More than any other figure on earth, it is the mother that shapes destinies by shaping children. Moses remains the titan of Jewish history. The great redeemer of ancient Israel had a mother whose name most people do not know. Through...

As we approach the end of the age, the teaching and learning of the Scriptures will no longer be hidden in a classroom with a handful of saints who choose to go deeper. God will promote the urgency to understand the truth of the written Word to a prioritized status as deception in the world continues to arise. The Bible serves as our guide into maturity, wisdom and power from God. So essential is...

If there has ever been a time of urgency for us all to get anchored in the truth, it is right now. Scripture is crystal clear that the time prior to the Second Coming of Jesus will be characterized primarily by an atmosphere of intense and persuasive deception. Jesus actually taught that the deception will be so strong that, if God did not sovereignly prevent it, even the elect saints of God would...

One of the healthiest and most helpful thing for a Christian to occasionally do is to remind himself of the end of the story. If we ever lose our grasp on the truth that WE WIN, we will likely find ourselves in a deep struggle. There is no denying that the Christian life is a war. It is more than war, but it is never NOT war. In the present day when evil is abounding, deception is increasing, divi...

In the Apostle Paul's writings, the concept of sonship refers to the spiritual adoption of believers into God's family as His children through faith in Jesus Christ. This adoption transforms a person's status from being enslaved to sin, fear, or religious legalism into one of freedom, intimacy, and inheritance as a beloved heir of God. It's not about striving, working, or earning a good standing w...

In this generation of American Christians, God is doing both demolition and renovation to the churches we attend. Much like the seven letters to the churches in the Book of Revelation, we see how Holy Spirit is exposing what is lacking in our own local churches. Apathetic church members, disqualified leaders, false doctrines, and immoral living have been tolerated by Christians for decades. The Lo...

In a world saturated with voices competing for our attention, we are confronted with an urgent question: how do we protect ourselves from deception in these last days? We find help in 2 Timothy chapters 3 and 4, where the Apostle Paul, writing his final letter before martyrdom, warns us about perilous times characterized by self-love, pride, and a form of godliness that denies real spiritual power...

All Christians are Holy Spirit people. In fact, if you are not a Holy Spirit person, you cannot even be a Christian. While denominations have robustly fought one another over the gifts of the Spirit, there are many powerful and clear passages in the New Testament which force us all into the same room to learn together what the Spirit of God unquestionably does for and in all true followers of Chri...

It is interesting that when Jesus confronted people to make a full and final choice to repent, believe, and follow God, He intentionally pitted our potential love for God against the potential love for money. Jesus declared that we will not be able to faithfully serve God and live for money at the same time. He forced us to choose. This is not a challenge only for the wealthy - it is for all of us...

How do we respond to the presence, power, and glory of God? In one sensational account of the life of Jesus, He briefly displayed His radiant nature as God the Son. Three of His disciples were with Him on a mountain when this occurred. Glory broke through, and then one of the disciples responded by immediately speaking and moving into action. God the Father interrupted the noise and motion, and He...

The timing of God is a repeated testing that many believers do not succeed in passing. Christians are unconsciously driven by formulas - we believe that is we do what we think is our part, then God is obliged to make similarly predictable corresponding moves in a timing which makes sense to us. When God does not do what we desire Him to do within the timeframe we believe is best, we can experience...

There is no such thing as growing up without growing pains. Everyone who survived adolescence can remember those strange times as the body lengthens that there were occasional times of physical discomfort. The same is true in our spiritual growth: our God allows our sense of being stretched beyond our comfort. Psalm 30 walks us through one believer’s roller coaster ride of the ups and downs of his...

There are many phrases in Christianity that we may have heard but do not really understand. One such phrase that has somewhat disappeared is “break up the fallow ground.” It is a loss that this phrase is rarely used anymore. It is even sadder that is less frequently examined because it describes the need for the believer to consistently inspect his/her heart, and gauge where they presently are in...

Amy Lyle delivers a powerful word for women at the North Georgia Revival women's conference.

There are many testing seasons which await the Christian. One is particularly challenging to pass. The testing of God’s silence has the profound effect of maturing some and shipwrecking others. What do we do when we lose all sense of God’s voice and presence? The suffering servant, Job, went through this season while his entire life was falling apart. From his questions and their answers, modern b...

When Jesus Christ emerged from the tomb, it shattered the forces of hell and forever banished all world religions into the realm of impotence and irrelevance. The ultimate philosophical questions are 1) what is the meaning of life and 2) what happens after death. When the Son of God willingly became a curse for us and then triumphed over that curse via the resurrection, humanity discovered that, i...

Doing what is right in the sight of God comes at a cost in a world that rejects God’s will and ways. Every Jesus-follower is called to align with the righteous will of God. We are to consecrate ourselves privately and inwardly, and we are to ensure that what is inside of us also flows outside of us. In the life of Gideon, God called the young man to go public with his allegiance to God by tearing...

God is releasing a renewed word in a new generation. We are all in a season where spiritual transfers are taking place. Gen Z is discerning the corrosion in places where Gen X and Millennials did not guard the Kingdom truths and treasures. God is calling a generation of Gideons to know who they are in Christ, discern the false altars of their parents’ generation, and to move decisively to fix what...

There are too many Christians who believe they are called to live as spiritual superheroes. Meeting every need, rescuing every struggler, answering every question, and ending every debate…they put on a cape as they leave the house each day. Scripture actually goes out of its way to remind us to take off our capes and to welcome Jesus to be the lone hero. We watch Him in the Gospels and see Him mod...

Sometimes we just need a little reassurance from God that He and we are okay. Most of us can fluctuate at times concerning how confident we feel that God is pleased with us. We know that we are fully accepted by the sacrifice of Jesus, but we also are aware that we do not always live up to the place we have been graciously given by God. We have rebellious thoughts, unkind words, and sinful moments...

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the single distinguishing element which separates Christianity from all world religions. No other religious leader had an answer for physical and spiritual death. Jesus fulfilled the Father’s assignment to die as the substitute for sinners on the cross. He cried out, “It is finished!” The Resurrection was the Father’s way of declaring, “Amen, My So...
