Leadership and the downside of the “Missional” movement

Today we are taking our temperature in the Church. Where is the majority of leadership in the Church from o – 10? Consider: We’ve gone from fact-based doctrine to feeling-based experiences. We’re teaching people how to “hear God’s voice” through direct revelation rather than reading His breathed-out Word of Scripture. Younger, inexperienced men are now [...]

Clarity or confusion? Leaders have a choice to make

Today we are challenging Christians everywhere to understand how the enemy has used confusion to muddy the waters of faith. Remember when the Emergent Church decided to ask questions instead of clarify doctrine, or have conversations about what the Bible means to you rather than clearly articulate what God’s Word says? In a strange turn [...]

Cause and affect of gay marriage

More than any other hot-button topic we cover on this program, it is the homosexual agenda being pushed from the highest office in the land that will – and in some cases already has – split the Body of Christ.  The Supreme Court will hear arguments this week in two cases that have the potential [...]

Culturally relevant or ashamed of the Gospel?

In these increasingly uncertain times, we are seeing a whole new level of worldliness in the Church. We seem to have adopted a “seekermergent” model that focuses on being relevant to those who don’t know Christ, by looking exactly like the culture.

What is “Christian Palestinianism?”

Last week we covered a movement called Hebrew Roots, and it has inspired a lot of conversation around how we view our Christian heritage, the Old Testament Law and what “grafting” means to Christians.  Today there is another movement that has to do with anti-Semitism. Did you know that global hatred of the Jewish people [...]

What is true unity?

Psalm 133:1 makes it clear that unity is absolutely essential because the we are the Body of Christ, and a body cannot be in disunity or disharmony with itself. Jesus’ plan for His church is people unified in the faith. But in these times we need to ask, “unity around what?”  Are we to have [...]

Thoughts on Secular Humanism and Liberal Christianity

We’ve been talking about the so-called “head of the octopus” of all the harmful movements you’ve seen sneaking into the Church in the past several decades. Thanks to secular humanism, dominionism and liberal Christianity, those movements no longer need to sneak; they march proudly down the center aisle and perch themselves in the front pew. [...]

Challenges pastors face

With all the challenges facing the Body of Christ, we’re going to discuss in particular the hurdles church leaders often face when shepherding their flock and equipping their people.  Some of the opportunities we have in the church today to reach the lost are tremendous. But the challenges are growing exponentially as well in these [...]
