    God lovingly confronts our sin, calling us to repentance and surrender, so we may experience true healing, gratitude, and restored relationship with Him.

    Some Sundays feel like a soft chair and a warm blanket. Other Sundays feel like the Father’s steady hand on our shoulder, guiding us to look straight at the mirror and see what He sees.

    How To Be A Christian Citizen Series

    God has drawn a moral standard, a line. “That’s my boundary. That’s my spiritual fault line. You better move your life to get in line with it.” And too many Americans are saying, “No, I want to move God’s line and change God’s standard to fit my life.”

    INTRODUCTION Open your Bibles to Romans 13. I think sometimes our families are sent by God to keep us humble. I remember when I was pastoring a church in Alabama, and Jenni was a little girl. She saw me get up to preach and she said, “Daddy, what are you doing before you get up to ...read more

    Let's talk about politics. There are three reasons most pastors and churches don't talk about politics - Money, Job Security, Community influence.

    There are several iconic contemporary proverbs that swirl around us. One of the most familiar may be, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex at the dinner table” or slightly modified for pastors, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex on Sunday morning if you want to keep your ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 26, 2015
     | 5,343 views

    This passage on the care of widows opens up a larger question: what's the place the church should have in the care of the poor (versus the place the government should have)?

    THE POINT OF THE PASSAGE: Taking care of the needy widows was a big deal in the early church. - There was a different societal structure and a lack of social safety net back then. The church stepped in to help. - Unpack some of the passage. - The passage raises a more general question: why ...read more

     | 3,501 views

    What do Paul and Peter have to say about the Christian and government? Is the church allowed to pursue the violent overthrow of secular governments? What should be our focus if it's not the accumulation of earthly power?

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 5, 2024
     | 806 views

    Isaiah's writings contain numerous references to the rule and person of God's Messiah. There are two specific passages worth examining. The first deals with His rule as King. The other deals with the righteous kingdom He will create and rule over forever in peace and joy.

    There are verses in the Bible that bring joy and peace to the troubled soul. There are verses which give us the assurance that the promises of God are true and faithful. There are those verses which give us the affirmation that God has given us mercy and salvation we do not deserve, yet in HIs ...read more

    After election hype, we remember that God’s perspective on citizenship and what makes for good leadership stays the same. Citizens need to be cooperative and leaders need to attempt to be fair.
