    IT IS FINISHED We trample the blood of the Son of God if we think we are forgiven because we are sorry for our sins. The only explanation for the forgiveness of God, and for the unfathomable depth of His forgetting (of our sins), is the death of Jesus Christ. Our repentance is merely the outcome ...read more

    It’s not a good picture. Sheep, lost out in the wild, are goners. They aren’t very bright. They have no natural defenses. They can’t even run real fast. On their own they don’t do well at finding adequate food and water. Every time the word lost is used to describe a sheep, it’s a word in the ...read more

    SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP BEGINS AT HOME I like the way Paul Carlson put it in Leadership Journal years ago. He said, "Your spiritual leadership begins at home.
