This will probably sound like the strangest comment/question I’ve ever posed … have you ever thought that your harvest field was the churched? Have you ever considered that the person sitting next to you in church may not be saved? In fact they may never have thought about salvation because it so rarely is preached […]
Can you think of a worse epitaph for a Christian!? I can’t. This should never be the last words spoken over a person who thinks/believes they are a visible Christian. However, I think the point is – is there any evidence supporting your claim of being a Christian? How would others know you are a

World of difference between those 2. Granted, a ‘have to’ can become a ‘get to’ but I don’t think it works in the reverse… it would take all the joy out of being a ‘get to’. The points are: 1. we can choose which will be our attitude, in both states and 2. how we

When it comes to our mistakes, errors in judgment, sins…it’s how we respond that define us… in so many ways. ‘Doing the right thing’ is not always easy… it’s not necessarily ‘automatic’… but I think we always instinctually (or intuitively) know. The only question is – HOW we respond. Do we try to hide? ignore?

There’s an old saying – that a good defense is the best offense! Believe this? When you study this word, defense, as related to yourself… you’ll see that you have more defensive protection than offensive. Then again, we need only one offensive weapon – the Word. But defensively… what’s missing? I would argue that we
“But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.” [Galatians 5:22-23] Love/Joy/Peace/Patience/Kindness/Goodness/Faithfulness/Gentleness/Self-ControlDo we know the definitions of these

Are ‘in word and deed’ just ‘words’… or do they mean something to you. Is this how you try and live your life? Is it a standard by which you judge your words and actions? Do you remember that those words come from scripture? Colossians 3:17 “Whatever you do [no matter what it is] in
Ever done this? Stood for a principle of yours – unequivocally, uncompromisingly – not shouting or yelling, but making it abundantly clear that you were standing on/for (fill in the blank). Do you know ‘why’ you did this? To split hairs… I tend to look at ‘on’ as an action and ‘for’ as a motivation.

You! I really love the saying: “You were born as an original… don’t die a copy.” If God wanted another, duplicate of someone else, He never would have created each of us as individuals, plus don’t forget the scripture that tells us we each, all are important (1 Corinthians 12: 12-31) It’s our commonality that

This will undoubtedly sound strange, but I believe every Christian faces a point in their walk that is their… ‘such a time as this’. The story of Esther: “Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not imagine that you in the king’s palace can escape any more than all the Jews. For if
