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

This World Is Not Our Home
on February 26th, 2026
Right now in our country and on our planet, more things are wrong than right! As a result, this reality creates conflict inside the life of a believer. We want to cry out, “God, how long will you tolerate men and women living with this mentality? How long will you tolerate the treatment that we inflict on each other, to hurt each other, to manipulate each other, and to abuse each other? How long will evil reign?” I don't know about you, but those are my biggest questions. Read More

Spiritual Alignment
on February 25th, 2026
Andrew Murray said many of us need to understand what prayer is. He said, “Prayer is not so much trying to get God to align with you, but rather it helps you align with where God is going.” This is exactly what needs to happen in our lives.

Specific Confession
on February 24th, 2026
If you want God to do something through your life, it will not happen until God does something in your life! Do you know what I did? I found a place where I could get alone with God. As a believer, as a child of God who was preparing for ministry, I said, “Lord, I really want to make sure that there is nothing between you and me. I desire to make certain that I'm not harboring anything in my life. I'm praying right now that you would reveal to me whatever needs to go. Is there any attitude, any action, anything I've said, anything I've done that is dishonoring to you, and that has broken your heart? I want my life to be clean. I want my life to be a conduit for your Spirit.” Read More

Replacing God
on February 23rd, 2026
One of the tragedies that we see in our nation every day is that we have forgotten the Lord and have replaced Him with our activity. Think about that for a moment. Many people want to do the activities of religion, rather than actually knowing the Lord intimately. Read More

Real Friends
on February 22nd, 2026
If our world becomes unstable, we need the kind of friendship that is found in stability. With every one of us, there will be multiple times when the only solid tree to lean against (other than the Lord of All) is the one He planted many years ago in our life. A true friend does make it all the way through with us in our difficult, transitional seasons. Thank the Lord, if you have such a friend. Read More

Your Pain Has a Purpose
on February 21st, 2026
You might think it's when everything is going well—when you're strong, successful, and put together. But I've discovered something that doesn't make sense to our human minds: God often uses us in the greatest way in the middle of our greatest pain. Read More
