My favorite verses in the Bible are Ephesians 4:15-16 because they are about the spiritual growth of Christians. From the ESV, Ephesians 4:15-16 reads: “Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by…
I heard a lyric in a song recently that encouraged Christians to “doubt your doubts and believe your beliefs” and I thought, “Yeah. That’s right.” Bottom line issue for me is to trust God and keep my eyes fixated upon Him and not my doubts or silly questions. Is this world fallen and corrupt with…
Maybe you have heard that phrase: “I took him at his word” which means I believed what he said. Usually, it’s said when someone’s actions did NOT match their original word as in, “Well, I took him at his word, but he deceived me.” Isn’t it nice to know we can trust both the Words and Actions…
By God’s grace and by God’s design, our ministry is exploding. Jason and I want to share what He’s doing with you! Example #1: We started with 3 volunteers on March 28, 2008. As of February 3, 2009, we now have 32 volunteer biblical counselors. Example #2: On March 28, 2008, we had 2 team…
Since I was a lad, I’ve followed the Pittsburgh Steelers and rooted for them to win. This year was no different though I like Kurt Warner’s voice about being a Christian and his work with the Christian organization, Habitat for Humanity. I still pulled for the Steelers to win because I had been told that…
In Christian counseling, there CAN tend to be 2 extreme approaches: truth without love AND love without truth. Counselees need BOTH from their biblical counselors who represent Christ. John 1:14 reminds us that Jesus the Christ was BOTH full of grace and full of truth. 100% of both! That must be our goal, too, especially when…
As Christians who are “found,” we must be compassionate toward those who are lost. Do lost people know they are lost? Romans 1:18 and following says that unbelievers “suppress the truth” in their “unrighteousness” meaning they push the truth under the table because they want to continue to sin. This is tough stuff, I know,…
Have you ever been lost? Maybe you were driving and missed a turn so you kept going…only to realize at some point, “I think I’m lost!” When do we realize that we are spiritually lost? When do we realize that we need Christ to save us and to lead us out of darkness into His…
What a privilege it is to give to others! God has given us SO much simply in the one gift of eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ! Out of our gratitude for that huge gift, we ought to give freely to others. God’s example to us is to give. “Freely you have received, freely give.”…
