Conversion and Conversation
on August 24th, 2025
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. (Romans 10:9-10) There are two things that need to be true of your life in order to truly know the Lord. The first is that you must have ... Read More

Control Your Heart
on August 23rd, 2025
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. (Proverbs 4:23) When there is trouble in your life and my life, we have a tendency to focus on that. We think we can work through it by mental-emotional gyrations. We dream about it, talk to our friends about it, and dwell on it. We devote a lot of verbiage to it. Because we are worrying about it, Jesus is saying, “Don't let y... Read More

Commitment To The Church
on August 20th, 2025
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:10) If it was important for Jesus to identify with the local church and partner with them, don't you think it is important for you too? Many people, especially in our culture today, are faithful attendees. However, there is no commitment to a particular local church... Read More

First Yourself, Then Your Gift
on August 19th, 2025
And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us. (2 Corinthians 8:5) My wife asked about a friend we hadn't seen in years. "Whatever happened to that jacket he borrowed?" I laughed. "You know, I completely forgot until now. I guess I'll never see it again." Notice how differently we feel about things based on who has them. W... Read More

Coming Home

But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. – Luke 15:32 I grew up in a family where I had three sisters, one who was nine years older than me, and two who were younger. After I got saved, I shared Jesus with my sisters because I wanted them all to know Christ. The sad story was that one of my little sisters got involve... Read More

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path. – Proverbs 3:5-6 Let me tell you a story about Edward Mote. He is not a household name today. He was a cabinet maker by trade, who was born into a family of tavern owners in the late 1700’s. His family lineage was alcohol, but at age 15, he came to fait... Read More

Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation.

Changed By Christ

“But it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. That is why I am suffering as I am.
