542: How to Get Answers to the “How” Questions
In our educational system, the old adage goes, “Those who do, do. And those who don’t do, teach.” And the truth sometimes stings, but it is still truth. In college, for example, most of the professors who teach business classes, even on a graduate level, have never …
541: Connecting Narcissism and the Debased Mind
In Romans 1, the Holy Spirit reveals the three phases a dying culture goes through when God removes His hand of grace and allows a people to experience the consequences of their own sin. We have seen this unfold in our own country over the last 60 years. And …
540: We Have Asked God to Judge Our Nation
It appears we, as a culture and a nation, may have tested the patience of God one time too many. We have, for example, murdered over 60 million innocent, unborn children in their mother’s womb while the church has basically remained silent. As Ruth Graham once said …
539: The Timeless Wisdom of Oswald Chambers
One unappreciated gift given the church is the fact we have those who are older and wiser than we are to help guide our way in this life with Christ. After all, it is no merit for a son to make the same mistakes his father did. Each generation must learn how to make …

538: “What Do I Truly Believe About…?” Revisited
With every good thing, there is always a potential dark side, or the possibility of collateral damages or unforeseen consequences that often come with it. The blessings of rain sometimes come with a flood. And pain accompanies the joy of childbirth. Or, Newton’s …
537: How to Hear from God Through His Word
One reason most Christians fail in their Bible study is the fact they have seldom, if ever, experienced God through His Word. Oh, they believe the Bible is the Word of God. And they believe what it says about itself, that it is “given by inspiration of God, and …
536: Evaluating Our Priorities in These Dark Times
If you look around at our culture, you can see things are getting darker for our nation and the church. We have experienced betrayal at the highest level of our government. Our elected officials lie as if it was a spiritual gift and are never held accountable. In …
535: What We Know to be True About Christ
As we have been preparing ourselves spiritually for the dark, troubling times ahead, it is quite helpful to pause and take a moment and remember what we know to be true about Christ. This is the discipline of looking back. God commanded the children of Israel to …
534: Whatever the Problem, the “Lord is Near”
Often, when tough times come, much like we are experiencing as a culture and as the church today, God seems distant. We pray, and receive no answer. We worship, only to feel alone. And when we attend church, it sometimes seems like something we do out of duty and …
533: Is There Something Better than Answered Prayer?
When it comes to our understanding of the Kingdom of God, what makes the early church different from us is they lived in the realm of knowing God as their King and they served Him on earth while maintaining the rights and privileges of being a citizen of His Kingdom …
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.”
Revelation 3:15-17
