    Perhaps the greatest challenge the church faces is finding her place in changing world, on that doesn’t appear to be getting better. John gives an imperative for the church, make investment on in God’s promises which are eternal, not in a worldview that is destined to fail.

    Our society is infatuated with extremes, there seems to be no common ground for living. I developed a model, Pathway to Recovery, that illustrates this dynamic.

    People of this world are shrewd in their secular dealings, and Christians can likewise be shrewd in their spiritual development, not at the expense of virtue but in pursuit of it.

    Yesterday morning, I went outside to cut the grass. I put on my jeans and a ratty old aloha shirt. I put on my yard work shoes, my hat and sunglasses, and my big yellow ear muffs. I climbed up on the tractor, pulled out of the garage. BOY, it was a beautiful day. I ride down to the end of the ...read more

    How do we have godliness in a world that is constantly changing? What is the importance of keeping our focus and pursuits right?

    Difference between the Worldly and Godly Lifestyle: Proverbs 14:12 (KJV) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. There is this pattern we follow in our everyday life. Life usually revolves around the eating, drinking and being merry (Luke ...read more

    In Buddhism enlightenment is achieved through pouring one’s self out. In Christ, grace has been poured out unto us!

    What About Buddhism?

    We can con our coworkers, fool our friends and family, play charades with church members, and even deceive ourselves, but we can’t masquerade before the Lord because He sees right through our masks.

    Pursuing Purity in an Impure World I remember seeing a cartoon that shows a pastor and his wife deep in conversation. The wife says, “Today let’s do something different. Why don’t you be charming at home and grouchy at church?” Ouch. That really doesn’t apply to me…because I’m often grouchy in ...read more

    We live in a world that often challenges our faith. As Christians, we are called to be the light in the midst of darkness

    Brothers and sisters, we live in a world that often challenges our faith. As Christians, we are called to be the light in the midst of darkness, but the reality is that darkness does not always welcome the light. This is nothing new—Jesus Himself warned us about it in John 15:18. He said, "If ...read more

    The Beatitudes are meant for all Christians. Jesus expects us to manifest all of them. They are not learnt traits, but the fruit brought forth by the grace of God in our lives.

    [I’ve taken most of the thoughts in this sermon from D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’book Studies in the Sermon on the Mount.] Read the Beatitudes, and there you have a description of what every Christian is meant to be. • It is not merely the description of some exceptional Christians. • Jesus does not ...read more

    Somehow it’s become vogue to cut ourselves off from the world; but God isn’t done with this world yet. One area where God is able to use His people to reach the lost is in our day to day relationships with them.

    You may well remember the story of Joshua. Joshua came after Moses and his Job was to lead the Israelites into the promised land. Because the Canaanites were wicked God commanded Joshua to kill every person in Canaan, because God didn’t want the Israelites to adopt the Canaanite lifestyle of ...read more
