I READ THAT, “EVIL RARELY LOOKS EVIL UNTIL IT ACCOMPLISHES ITS GOAL; IT GAINS ENTRANCE BY APPEARING ATTRACTIVE, DESIREABLE, ...read more

    John the Baptist laid out a specific message that gives us the mission to bring confession and repentance into our life to keep us prepared and ready for the return of Jesus.

    TRUE REPENTANCE HATES THE SIN, AND NOT MERELY THE PENALTY; AND IT HATES THE SIN MOST OF ALL BECAUSE IT HAS DISCOVERED AND HAS FELT GOD'S REDEEMING LOVE. I THINK BILLY GRAHAM MADE AN INTERESTING COMMENTARY ABOUT SINFULNESS AND HOW SUCH SINFULNESS HAS BEEN LIKE A DISEASE RUNNING RAMPANT IN OUR ...read more

    When facing persecution, Jesus' disciples (believers) must have endurance and wisdom, be certain to look like Jesus, preach the Word fearlessly, and trust that God is in control. What have we to fear when our life is in His hands?

    Jesus pictures the kingdom as a banquet—an invitation to joy. In Luke 14:7–24 He confronts pride, exposes excuses, and calls for a humble, wholehearted response to His invitation—today, not “someday.”

    The next couple of weeks we're going to be spending time in Luke 14, in a mini-series called "Come to the Table." I named the series this because - don't you just love invitations to eat? At first I thought that "Let's Eat" may have been a better title for this ...read more
