    The reward of knowing the mind of God, the reward of living in the will of God, is freedom. Fear of people keeps us imprisoned; fear of God sets us free.

    At the Alpha conference I went to a few weeks ago I had a very interesting conversation with a colleague on the more liberal end of our denominational spectrum. It was particularly interesting in that the Alpha program is for evangelism, and I was surprised to see someone on the other end ...read more

    Peter wrote to the scattered and persecuted Christians throughout a vast area. Peter is writing as a fellow sufferer. Peter probably wrote this book from Roman imprisonment.

    The sixties were very turbulent times. I was born in 1961, but I am not talking about those sixties. I am talking about AD 61 to AD 70. It is the context, and it sets the stage for what Peter wrote and to whom Peter wrote in his books. Peter wrote his first book 1 Peter in about 63AD and this book ...read more

    In the very beginning of his stay in the king's Palace, Daniel took a stand that could have led to his execution or at the very least, enslavement or imprisonment.

    Last time we talked about how Daniel and his three friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego remained faithful to the Lord despite how they were strongly tempted to compromise. He was determined to stay faithful to the Lord no matter how much pressure was put upon him. So, in the very beginning of ...read more
