    Sharing Christ to a secular world. Are we troublemakers? Or are we peacemakers?

    I have been reading the report from the 9-11 Commission. I’m fascinated by some of the things I’m learning, but I also find myself feeling angry once again that our nation was so ruthlessly attacked. I find myself thinking of all of the victims, the families and relatives of those who died, the ...read more

    This simple outline focuses on Paul’s experiences with the Thessalonians and Bereans and conflict and recognizing sides in a conflict.

    At times, the right and wrong of an issue which divides is not clear. Often, we can use this checklist to determine who is acting in an ungodly manner.

    Can God be known to the Athenians?

    The Unknown God Part 1 Acts 17:16-34 The Bible tells us about the unpardonable sin, meaning the rejection of God that will lead you to Hell, but I believe the greatest sin a Christian can commit is to distort the true knowledge of God.

    We can connect unbelievers to God by understanding their context, by making a connection, by communicating in their language, and by presenting a relevant gospel message that challenges them to make a decision to follow Christ.

    It’s interesting that we think of Paul as someone who stands out on his own. He’s the great apostle to the Gentiles, a man who stands head and shoulders above the rest. Yet in reality he was a man who loved to work as part of a team. He started out with Barnabas, then joined up with Silas, then he ...read more
