Something’s missing.
I can remember a time in my life when I looked at other believers and marveled at their passion. I viewed them as being “on fire” for Christ. I could only say, “I don’t feel it”, and wonder how I might realize this zeal. So many of my Christian brothers and sisters have said they […]
“but what about all my stuff?!”
Americanized Christianity has such a different perspective on what it means to live for Christ than what the Bible teaches. If we consider for a moment when Jesus called His disciples, we would find men who stopped what they were doing, dropped everything, and followed Him. In Mark 1, we see several of the first […]
Do you want to be an example?
Oh, that we would yearn to identify with Paul in 1 Timothy 1:15-17. That we would realize daily where we are in the grand scheme of things, and desire to be used for the purpose of directing the masses to Christ! “This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: ‘Christ Jesus came into […]
A non-negotiable.
The life of a Christian includes many things. It consists of forgiveness, growth, trust, faith, and much more. Perhaps one of the most comforting aspects of a relationship with Christ is the knowledge that God’s care is non-negotiable. “O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.

What does it take to be effective for Christ?
Commitment. Let’s look for a few moments at the life of Stephen, the church’s first martyr. The story of the final minutes of his life can be found in Acts 7. Stephen was a man who was unwavering in his commitment to Christ. He performed signs and wonders and boldly proclaimed the truth of Christ […]
Run to win!
Encouragement for the week ahead. “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with […]
Desiring God
Do we long for and cling to God everyday? May this chapter from the Psalms be a blessing to your heart today. “O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water. […]
What it’s all about…
An encouraging message from God’s Word. “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our […]
Get off the fence!
This is not a very popular message, but it’s a much needed one. Be honest with yourself and the Lord, and see how you measure up… This post is for those who call themselves followers of Christ, but never really commit. It’s for people that never “get off the fence” for the sake of Christ. […]
