The TRUTH of God’s Word IS love. The Bible is NOT a dead book that is no longer relevant to us in our modern culture. In fact, I’d argue it’s more relevant and needed today than ever before! The Bible is also powerful – alive and active! It is a living book because the Holy Spirit…
Wow, I need the truth. Every day. God’s truth is love. I need to know what God thinks. I need to know what God says. I need God to speak to me. Guess what? He does speak to us through the Holy Spirit and His Word of truth. Does the truth hurt? It may hurt our feelings…
Interesting observation I’ve had through the years in counseling. Christians who have truly been victims really do not want to stay that way. They want to be victorious through Christ! Another observation – those who are not true victims of others’ actions but are victims of their own poor choices or failures to be responsible. In…
Now that you are dead to yourself, you are to be alive to Christ. You are to live for Him! What a difficult life Jesus lived! It was not a life of ease. Jesus was challenged by religious leaders. Jesus said things that people became so angry about that they tried to kill Him several…
I wrote The Heart of Addiction for one primary purpose: to glorify God by pointing people to Christ and His Word for the answer for all types of “addictions.” Glorifying God means honoring His Word which is THE most powerful weapon in overcoming any and all “addictions.” Sadly, the Bible is one of the most unused…
I hear people and even counselors say, “Her perception is her reality.” While that is a half-true statement, it is not wholly truthful. People believe lies. People deceive themselves. I do it, too, sometimes! None of us are immune to falling prey to self-deception and the lies of Satan. We “think” these lies are reality though…
A friend told me that Tozer used to say that the “prevailing winds often blow toward hell.” What he meant is that popular opinion of the majority are often WRONG spiritually speaking. As Christians, we are to be called out, holy, pure, and different from the world and its system of modern thinking (when it…
I posed the question: “Is God ever thankful?” in an earlier post. Now, I’m posing the question “Is God ever disappointed?” Certainly, God is not sad as humans are sad. If God knows everything that ever was, is, and ever will be, then how could He ever be disappointed? My answer would be that there…
I get a lot of encouraging emails from people who read my books and I’m so thankful for the encouragement since the message is so counter-cultural against the thinking of this modern age: “addiction is NOT a disease” but is rather a sin nature problem of the flesh and idolatry. I simply wrote these books…
I am encouraged at the number of SERIOUS Christians today! What I am seeing is a smaller number of people who are deeply committed to Christ and His agenda! These followers of Christ stand in stark contrast to many who call themselves “Christians” but only nominally follow Christ and merely attend an occasional church worship…
