    Why You Shouldn't Take Yourself Too Seriously

    It's one thing to take your work seriously, but it's another altogether to take yourself seriously. Our work as Christians is certainly to be done with the utmost of care and devotion. But the minute we get too wrapped up in ourself is the minute we start to go in a wrong direction.

  • What Would Jesus Say to Churches Today?

    What Would Jesus Say to Churches Today?

    If Jesus walked into your church this weekend, what do you think He would say? Would He primarily affirm the good things going on, or would the bulk of our Lord's comments likely be corrective in nature? In reality, His words would probably include both affirmations and corrections. That's at least the way He did it with seven churches at the end of the first century.

  • The Impossibility of Remaining Neutral Toward Jesus

    The Impossibility of Remaining Neutral Toward Jesus

    What would you say about people who don't seem to be for Christ nor against Him? They attempt to stake out ground somewhere in the middle and remain "neutral" toward Jesus. But is that even doable? Actually no. It is impossible.

  • Does a 'Christian Gene' Exist Within Believers?

    Does a 'Christian Gene' Exist Within Believers?

    But just who is the wise man? Is it the one with the highest IQ, or maybe the person who loves others the most? Some people are genuinely kind, while others seem to be downright mean-spirited. Is that a result of DNA, or something else entirely?

    Would You Forsake Unbelief to Avoid Hell?

    What lengths would you go to in order to avoid hell? "I don't believe in hell Dan." OK. But say you did. What lengths would you go to in order to stay out of hell? Hypothetically, what would you be willing to do?

  • Owning Your Anger at God Is Necessary

    Owning Your Anger at God Is Necessary

    Perhaps you have heard the song that goes, "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands." Maybe the next verse should say, "If you're angry and you know it, talk to God." But what if I am angry at God? Then what? Now that's a good question.

  • Setting Aside One Day to Consider Eternity

    Setting Aside One Day to Consider Eternity

    Time is of the essence. And like most people today, you may find yourself a little short on time. So much to do, and so little time to do it. But this idea is well worth your time to consider. It could change your life on earth, as well as the quality of your existence in "the next realm."

  • Jesus Took 'Jewish' to a New Level

    Jesus Took 'Jewish' to a New Level

    God's plan from the very beginning was to expand on Judaism. The Abrahamic covenant, the Law and Judaism were all part of "Level 1" so to speak. The new covenant, the Gospel and Christianity were all part of "Level 2." And of course the Messiah's eternal kingdom in heaven is "Level 3."

  • The Brilliant Way Jesus Calls His Disciples

    The Brilliant Way Jesus Calls His Disciples

    Isn't it fascinating in the New Testament how our Lord reached out to individuals and invited them to take "the next step" on their spiritual journey? Everyone is at a different point, but everyone can take "the next step" by God's grace. For unbelievers, it will be the initial step of trusting Christ for salvation.
