Twelve Inches from Hell
on March 10th, 2026
How far is your heart from your head?
You can know historically that Jesus died on the cross. You can look at the Scriptures that give us confirmation about what Jesus did. You can have all the information and acknowledge that He rose from the dead. For many of us, it's just head knowledge. We believe the information. Read More

Not What You Expected
on March 9th, 2026
Is God using you the way you thought He would?
You might think that God would have used Paul, a man who was well versed in what Jews believed, to minister to the Jews. Paul was a Hebrew of Hebrews, and a Jew of Jews. He was radically committed to the agenda of Judaism. It would seem logical that God would send him to the Jews because he could speak their language, and he understood their culture. Read More

God Loves Big Churches Too
on March 8th, 2026
Does God prefer small churches?
The very first church was birthed as a mega church. I know many people say, "I don't like big churches. I like small churches where everyone knows everyone." Well, guess what? In the first church, not everyone knew everyone because God was inviting people to be part of that family of faith. Read More

Your Relationship, Your Responsibility
on March 7th, 2026
You are responsible for your relationship with God. You will not have to give an account for what your mom believes or what your father believes, nor what your sister or brother believes. You will have to stand before God to give an account for what you believe. Read More

Leave Room for God's Justice
on March 6th, 2026
How do you handle it when people hurt you or oppose God's work?
Paul faced constant opposition. The Jewish radicals of his day had a contract out on his life. They wanted him dead. Wherever he went, a hit squad followed him. They wanted him out of the picture because he had departed from Judaism and embraced Christianity.
What did Paul do? He trusted God to take care of the situation. Read More

How do giant trees survive massive storms?
I remember losing the transmission in my car at the top of a mountain in Sequoia National Park in Northern California. While I was stuck there, I learned something fascinating about those giant Sequoia trees. Read More

When Tradition Becomes a Trap
on March 4th, 2026
What are you guided by—Scripture or superstition?
I grew up with a mother who had a black belt in anxiety. She filled my head with superstitions: "Don't walk under a ladder—it'll bring bad luck." "Don't let a black cat cross your path." These came from ancient Egyptian beliefs and old wives' tales, not from God's Word.

Don't Twist the Translation
on March 3rd, 2026
Are you building theology on English alone?
Look at Acts Chapter 2: "Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit'" (Acts 2:38).
Some of you are saying, "There it is. You have to be baptized in order to have forgiveness of your sins." That teaching is called "baptismal regeneration." That is an error! Why would I say that to you? You might say, "It is in black and white. You have to be baptized to have all your sins forgiven." No! Read More

Dead Men Feel Nothing
on March 2nd, 2026
What does a dead man feel?
We are dead in our sins, the Bible says. What does a dead man feel? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing!
You can be part of a church. You can think that you have enough information, but the real issue is not whether you have gone through catechism or been confirmed. The issue is not that you have taken communion, been sprinkled or immersed, or have your name on the church roll. Read More

Crooked Lines to Straight Destinations
on March 1st, 2026
Is your life a straight line?
Let me ask a question. How many of you would say, "I gave my life to Christ, and it has been straight up ever since?" I cannot raise my hand. I look at some of the paths that God has allowed me to go, and I don't get it. Read More

One Life Is Worth It All
on February 28th, 2026
Is the cost of following Christ too high?
Paul knew what sacrifice looked like. In Philippi, he was beaten with rods and thrown into prison just for sharing the Gospel. His back was scarred from forty lashes minus one—five different times. He'd been shipwrecked, stoned, left cold and naked, gone without food.
Was it worth it? Read More

Open the Gates
on February 27th, 2026
I had a wonderful worship experience in Nairobi, Kenya. I haven’t been in a worship service like this one where I saw God's Spirit move mightily since the early seventies. Maybe it was because they sang for over an hour nonstop, with no break. They worshiped extravagantly before the Lord with pure joy. These people have nothing. This is one of the poorest areas in Nairobi, yet they sang with the joy of people who were lacking nothing. Read More
