The Pull You Can't Ignore
on March 15th, 2026
Have you felt that pull?
There must be a moment in your life when you sensed the drawing of the Spirit of God and conviction. This conviction means you are aware of your separation and your sinfulness that separates you from a Holy God. In that moment of spiritual conviction, the work of the Holy Spirit draws our hearts and lives to Christ. Read More

Equipped for Everything
on March 14th, 2026
What equips you for life?
Notice what Paul says here: "All Scripture is God-breathed." That word in Greek is "theopneustos"—theo (God) and pneustos (breathed). Every word of Scripture is exhaled from the mouth of God. This is not just human wisdom. This is not just good advice from religious teachers. This is the very breath of God captured in written form. Read More

The Danger of "Plus"
on March 13th, 2026
Do you realize that if you add these elements to secure your salvation, you have just violated what Jesus instituted from the cross? When Jesus was hanging on the cross, He said to the thief on the cross, "Today, you will be with me in paradise." The thief never took communion. He did not get baptized, and yet he made it to heaven. That is very important.
The moment you say "faith in Christ plus baptism" or "faith in Christ plus communion" or "faith in Christ plus church membership," you've changed the Gospel. You've added a requirement that Jesus never added. Read More

How Truth Gets Twisted
on March 12th, 2026
How does false teaching take root?
In the early church, their focus was on the blood of Christ shed for the forgiveness of sins to cover them. Their focus was not to believe nor to teach that you must take communion in order to have the full forgiveness of God. Likewise, they did not believe that you needed to be baptized in order to make sure you go to heaven. Read More

You Don't Need a Building
on March 11th, 2026
What makes a church a church?
The first church didn't even have a building. Where did they meet? They met in the temple courts and in the open air. They also met in small groups in their homes. They had communion and fellowship with one another in their homes. They were experiencing connectivity.

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.
