I’m thinking of picking up this hammer and hitting my thumb. How many of you would just stand there, and watch, and say nothing? Yet, this is what so many of us do when we see others walking in and toward misery-making sin! We say nothing. We even tell others to not bring it up.Continue reading “You’ve got to (lovingly) speak up…even at the family gathering.”

More sinister than we think?
God wasn’t kidding when “He created them male and female and blessed them.” (Gen 5:2) Men are bigger and stronger, and can do things I physically can’t do, and have no desire to do. Likewise, my body did things theirs could never do. I am forever blessed to have birthed and nursed babies. There isContinue reading “More sinister than we think?”
Don’t “love” them all the way to Hell.
As we take in truth from the Word, we can use it to daily refute the flimsy, false teachings of this world that come at us all day, every day! Paul uses strong words as he charges his young disciple, Timothy, to teach no other doctrine but SOUND doctrine. (1Tim 1:3) “Doctrine” sounds like somethingContinue reading “Don’t “love” them all the way to Hell.”
Are you truly loving others if you do this?
I see many, who call themselves Christians, virtue-signaling about how they love everyone (we should) while criticizing others for calling out the sin that is destroying the lives of those they “love”. They post platitudes like “love is love” and lecture others for calling wrong things wrong, while pompously thinking themselves more loving and moreContinue reading “Are you truly loving others if you do this?”
We those who know God’s ways are better to find their voices.
Paul says,”hold such men in esteem” (Phil 2:29) Hold such men in esteem. What kind of men? Well, men and women like Epaphroditus. Epaphroditus didn’t only have a strange name, he was a rare one. He’s only mentioned once in the Bible (Phil 2:25). But this much is clear from the text, Epaphroditus was rare,Continue reading “We those who know God’s ways are better to find their voices.”
The Great Lie of the Pro-Choice Movement
My heart breaks as I watch those at the DNC celebrating the taking of innocent little lives. They wear t-shirts that read “abortion girly”, cheer wildly as women describe their abortions, and have parked a mobile abortion truck outside their convention like a taco truck. Not that long ago, abortion activists said they wanted abortionContinue reading “The Great Lie of the Pro-Choice Movement”
We can’t call wrong things right because we love our kids.
I woke up early.Sad.And mad. Sad and mad that, once again, I’ve had a front row seat to watch parents encourage their children to go ahead and do an unholy thing because they, “deserve to be happy”. This is nothing new. For years, I watched as parents of my kids’ friends did this. They compromisedContinue reading “We can’t call wrong things right because we love our kids.”
The SIN Elephant in the Room
“Let’s love people enough to help them leave their own pity parties so they can spend their lives drawing attention to God rather than themselves.” “The compassionate side of you will be tempted to comfort everyone who weeps, but that isn’t always the most loving thing to do for them.” —Francis Chan Sometimes, we absolutelyContinue reading “The SIN Elephant in the Room”
Don’t be silent.
Something is off.Wrong.I feel it in my spirit. I look at our world, specifically at our country, and I see things happening at a pace I never thought possible. Do you see it too? Fewer and fewer people are thinking for themselves or even have the opportunity to do so. Instead, hidden minions, working behindContinue reading “Don’t be silent.”
Let’s speak truth in a world that hates it.
I believe as a country, a church, and as people, we are being deceived by false prophets speaking empty oracles. The prophet Jeremiah talks of false prophets and empty oracles. He says the false prophets “walk in lies and strengthen the hands of evildoers so that no one turns back from his wickedness” (23:14). Doesn’tContinue reading “Let’s speak truth in a world that hates it.”
I’m concerned about our country. But I’m not without hope!
There is so much evil in this world. A recent poll said, nearly one in three Democrats hoped the bullet would have taken out our former president. What? How far have we fallen? And though most Republicans I know do not wish their political opponents to die, they are compromising on issues of life andContinue reading “I’m concerned about our country. But I’m not without hope!”
The devil doesn’t care about THIS.
“The devil doesn’t care at all if you know Jesus or love Jesus or pray to Jesus – as long as it is a false Jesus, a make-believe Jesus, a Jesus who is not there, and who therefore cannot save.” – David Guzik, Enduring Word App John says in his letter, “Beloved, do not believeContinue reading “The devil doesn’t care about THIS.”
The thing about hanging out with sinners…
When people spend time with you, do they see Jesus in you and desire to follow Him more? Zacchaeus, that wee little man, who climbed the Sycamore tree and invited Jesus to dine with him, was well known for his sins (Luke 19:7). But after spending time with Jesus, he repented of his sins andContinue reading “The thing about hanging out with sinners…”
Truly loving others and the Ms. Rachel controversy
“But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.” Hebrews 5:14 ESV Wildly popular preschool YouTuber, Ms. Rachel (estimated worth 10 million), doesn’t seem to subscribe to the verse above as she promotes Pride Month and has invited trans-activist, DylanContinue reading “Truly loving others and the Ms. Rachel controversy”
In our desire to love others, we can’t encourage what God calls sin.
Let’s be careful to walk in truth, as defined by the Bible. Let’s understand there is no “my truth” and “your truth.” Let’s understand the danger of the popular phrase -“I’m so happy you found your truth”. These words should never be spoken from the mouth of a Christian. Truth is not relative. God forbidContinue reading “In our desire to love others, we can’t encourage what God calls sin.”
Are you seeing this alarming trend?
I know we just celebrated moms but here is something I absolute cannot celebrate. It is an alarming trend that is causing us all to suffer. I’m seeing moms (and dads) elevating their children’s happiness over their children’s holiness. This often starts with child-centered parenting when they are infants, and continues with parents being okayContinue reading “Are you seeing this alarming trend?”
Those who truly love us will tell us the truth.
Paul is about to lay down the pen to the most famous of letters ever written. His powerful, God-inspired words will forever influence the theology of human hearts. His hard words have inspired and challenged the church for thousands of years. Through Paul, God has clearly explained the only way dead men miraculously find eternalContinue reading “Those who truly love us will tell us the truth.”
Are we seeing evil forces at work as American students protest for Hamas?
With sadness, I watched a video last night of a Jewish student being denied access to the campus of UCLA by fellow students protesting in support of Hamas and Palestine. Are we just going to sit idly by again while racism happens in America? What if he had been a black student being denied accessContinue reading “Are we seeing evil forces at work as American students protest for Hamas?”
Do your friends truly love you? Do you truly love them?
I heard a pastor once say, “You can’t preach peace to those who walk in disobedience.” The truth is, as much as we want others to experience the rivers of peace we know because of Christ; those who insist on walking their own way, in disobedience to the ways of God, will never experience theContinue reading “Do your friends truly love you? Do you truly love them?”
It’s all true!
The ground shook.The angel appeared.The stone rolled away.The soldiers fell like dead men.The grave empty.Death defeated!The Way Made!Victory complete. JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND DEFEATED SIN AND DEATH! This changed everything! When Christians say, “He is Risen”, it’s not that we are saying Christianity is useful. We are saying that it is TRUE! AllContinue reading “It’s all true!”
