Stand Up for the Truth

My comments this morning are directed at men and the need for men to step up and become real leaders at home and at church. First, if you’re a man who doesn’t think of yourself as a leader, think again.  You are a leader—that’s how God created you.  So you’re already a leader and there [...]

Jesus gave us our marching orders before He ascended into heaven—“Go make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”.  The Book of Acts and the Epistles show how the apostles took this command seriously and spread the Christian faith throughout the [...]

Our nation and our state faces a crossroad unlike any in its history.  Financial bankruptcy is a real threat if we continue spending as we are and morally one can argue our nation has never been so low.  We continue to turn our backs on God as a nation—the God who has blessed us with [...]

In Hebrews we are taught that without faith it is impossible to please God.  Faith is what the Christian life is all about—we worship a God we cannot see, and believe in faith that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died and rose from the dead.  We have no empirical truth that these facts are [...]

You’ll want to check out this video and story from CBN yesterday about the growing Chrislam movement around the world. Here is the article, reprinted in full: ‘Chrislam’ Movement Misguiding Former Muslims? Satellite television, radio broadcasts, and the Internet present expanding opportunities for Muslims to hear the gospel. But how welcoming are churches in Islamic [...]

In 1963 America’s most famous atheist, Madeline Murray O’Hair, won the landmark lawsuit filed on behalf of her son William, that effectively banned prayer in public schools. Nearly two decades later, that boy left his tumultuous childhood, grew up and in a miraculous turn of events gave his life over to Jesus Christ. His book, [...]

With all the new movements out there within Christianity, it is easy to feel overwhelmed as a Believer and just throw our hands up.  Social Justice, the Emergent Church, Chrislam, the New Apostolic Reform and the move toward New Age Christianity seem to be taking hold everywhere. While there is no official alliance between these [...]
