     | 17,106 views

    What make a church successful? Is it lots of money? A great preacher? Great outreach programs and internal programming? Oddly enough, the early church didn't have that - and yet they turned the world upside down. What did the early church have that made the difference?

     | 10,035 views

    My friend Nigel (who is not a Christian) once said that that when Christians speak about God, he can feel like a primitive tribesman who suddenly encounters New York City - he just can’t get his head around it. If we want to begin to get our head around God, what one thing should we do more of?

    Moses climbs up Mount Sinai - up THAT mountain- and disappears into the cloud at the top, the cloud that somehow represents the presence of God.

    The truthfulness of Christianity is made unbreakable because of Old Testament prophecy.

    How do you present the Gospel to someone who places Christianity as one of many religious options? Such a person might be an agnostic, a secular humanist, a Jewish friend, or a person practicing any number of religious beliefs. We see our faith very differently from the way others see it. From ...read more

     | 2,709 views

    Under the right circumstances even the best of us will will say no to God and let our "punk within us" take over. Only Jesus can deal with the "punk" in me. God makes a way to deal with our sinful nature through a child at Christmas.

    Mary knew where her son had come from. She understood the makeup of his DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID or we like to simply say - DNA. Mary said you need to do whatever Jesus tells you, because I have learned he is just like his Daddy.
