    In the church there are a lot of Rip Van Winkle Christians--who go to sleep not long after they made the decision to follow Christ.

    Ephesians 5:8-14 INTRODUCTION: How many have heard the statement, “They are as different as day and night.”? Paul is using this same kind of contrast between darkness and light when he is speaking of the old life without Christ as compared to the new life in Christ. In this scripture Paul is ...read more

    This sermon was inspired by a speech made by Dr. Martin Luther King in 1967. It deals with the fact that humanity is indeed running out of time when it comes to his eternal security. There is an urgent call for us to awake from our slumber because as Dr

    The Fierce Urgency of Now Romans 13:11-14 Before we get started let me give you a little background on the topic. I must first of all confess that I was not the creative genius behind this topic, Dr Martin Luther King was. I must also confess that the first time I heard it was not from a quote ...read more

    Law...then And Now

    How do the complex, often strange laws of the OT apply to today? What is the function of the law of God? And what does it mean to live lawfully when salvation is by grace?

    What do we do with the Law? As we read the Law of Moses in the Old Testament, we come across some strange rules nearly no one practices today. A.J. Jacobs wrote an intriguing book, The Year of Living Biblically, a chronicle of his attempt to actually follow all the many laws of the Bible (easily ...read more

    Walking in the dark when all you had to do was turn on the switch.

    Many of us have all walked into a dark room or hallway before. In our journey down the road of darkness, we’ve stubbed a toe, hit an elbow, nicked a knee and hit a head. By the time you get to the end, your results are bruises aches and pains. I’m using this metaphor to illustrate ...read more

    At a Guys Night Out hosted by Cornerstone Church in San Antonio TX, we took the time to honor San Antonio's First Responders. 30 men got saved! I am speaking to them as I say; Now that you are saved, There are some things you need to be doing.

    There was a time when I was a child that I wanted to be a first responder. Almost all children go through a phase like this, some stick with it and others move on to something else. At one time, I wanted to be a fireman, and then I change my mind and thought that a police officer would be so much ...read more

    The most dangerous thing in the whole world is an unbroken Christian—a Christian who feels that he doesn’t need anything.

    God has been teaching me powerfully in my heart something that I am going to title, “Cut the Rope.” It is time for many of us to cut the rope as I had learned while I was in the hospital for back surgery—not being overwhelmed with certain situations or circumstances that I was ...read more
