Church “Success”
Until we get serious about the hungry, the thirsty, the refugees, the sick, and the captives, we simply are not the church of Jesus Christ.

Faith, Doctrine and Conduct
“Seriousness in believing should manifest itself in seriousness concerning doctrine and conduct.”
Politigesis
I see so many Christians these days injecting their politics into their faith, when they should be injecting their faith into their politics.
The Virgin Mary Consoling Eve
Jesus is right there in the center of the picture. He is the focus. As He always should be.
Give us a king!
God gave the Israelites very clear criteria concerning who they should choose for their king, and it really had nothing to do with policy. Policy wasn’t what God looked for in a good ruler. God looked at . . . well, character!
Living Like We Believe It
The Psalms say that even the plans of people and nations are helpless to thwart the plan of God. If we really believe this, then we must believe — we have no choice but to believe — that no political party, no party platform, no legislation, no judicial appointment, no election, and no individual choice regarding how someone votes, can thwart God’s plan. Specifically, none of those things can thwart God’s plan to save His people or His church. Or unborn babies.
Gunpowder and Lead
As Christians, we are held to a much higher standard, not legal or political, but spiritual. Our words make a difference, and they matter to God.
