Jesus said you are with me or against me (Matt 12:30). There is no neutral. You either see the world and life from a biblical worldview or from a satanic worldview. Either there is One True God and One source of absolute truth that exists outside of you; or you operate by a satanic worldviewContinue reading “The Devil doesn’t care if you are happy or sad….”

Be Living Proof to a Lost World
When Christians lose hope, it’s a sign to the lost world that we don’t really believe what we say we believe. (See Phil 1:28-29) People who have lost hope are driven by fear. But what does fear look like in the day to day? It’s not that we often see fellow Christians running around screamingContinue reading “Be Living Proof to a Lost World”
False teachers know there is a God…they just think themselves wiser and better.
We have to test everything because the enemy is at work all around us. The evil one is no less sly than he has ever been; and we have to be on guard, and especially so, with those we allow to speak into our lives. I recently read on a local, family counselor’s website, whoContinue reading “False teachers know there is a God…they just think themselves wiser and better.”
The “find your truth” lie…
The “find your truth” lie, from Will Spencer (@renofman on X) “I was in secular transpersonal psychotherapy for two years, between 2013 and 2015. Week-by-week, I turned myself inside out on the couch, processing “trauma” with my therapist. I thought it helped. But all therapy did was make me more comfortable with fulfilling my sinfulContinue reading “The “find your truth” lie…”
If Jesus is Lord…He is to be Lord of all.
Revival seems to be sweeping our country! I have seen and heard of so many salvations lately! 🙌🏻 Jesus came for the messed up sinner. I am one of them. Yes, we love that He ran after the prodigal, ate with the tax collectors, and stepped in to prevent the stoning of the woman caughtContinue reading “If Jesus is Lord…He is to be Lord of all.”
Don’t have faith on your own faith.
Don’t have faith in your own faith. Keep looking to God. The enemy would love for you to believe you are the only one whose faith has faltered. But this is not biblical. Throughout Scripture, God allows us to peak into the lives of some of the most faithful when they were the least faithful.Continue reading “Don’t have faith on your own faith.”
Faith over Feelings
We can’t let our feelings dictate our obedience. If you want to walk in faith you have to remember this. So many seem to want to only follow the Lord as long as their feelings don’t get in the way. But that isn’t faith. They place incredible emphasis on what feels right to them andContinue reading “Faith over Feelings”
Judging or Discerning Fruit?
You should care about others enough to talk with them about their sin, and when you do, they may accuse you of judging them. But, you can’t be neutral in your faith. If it impacts you, you should want it to impact those you care about. John Piper went so far as to say, “IfContinue reading “Judging or Discerning Fruit?”
Will we hang on when it gets hard?
It’s easy to say “yes” to Heaven, but are we ready to face the affliction that might come because we follow Christ? Are we ready for that? Will our kids be? Paul and Silas had been beaten and jailed in Philippi because of the gospel. Their joy, as they sat in prison singing hymns, hadContinue reading “Will we hang on when it gets hard?”
Speak Truth. Refute the Perpetrators of Lies.
We need to know and stand for biblical truth. We need to find the courage and wisdom to refute the lies of the evil one. The Bible tells us God hates lying lips (Prov 12:22). When a lie is treated as truth there is always destruction. This is why perpetrators of lies must be refutedContinue reading “Speak Truth. Refute the Perpetrators of Lies.”
Speak the truth, if you love others.
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 be bold enough to say this because we trust God more than we trust ourselves. Let’s understand the danger of the popular phrase -“I’m so happy you found your truth”. These wordsContinue reading “Speak the truth, if you love others.”
Put on your armor and keep standing.
My daughter, Abi, wrote this a few years back. This truth is a powerful, keep-you-going reminder— I felt alone. Sad, disheartened, fighting back tears-very much like an alien and stranger though surrounded by others my age as I sat in my Contemporary Moral Issues Philosophy class, at the University of Tennessee, listening to my classmatesContinue reading “Put on your armor and keep standing.”
Keep Telling The Truth!
God hates lies (Prov 12:22). The devil is the father of all lies (John 8:44). He often uses lies in order to fulfill his goal to rob, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). I’ve seen this play out this year as lies have impacted our family, our church, and our nation. I understand more than everContinue reading “Keep Telling The Truth!”
Truth more important than ever!
“These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.” (1 John 2:26) There are great efforts, by spiritual forces in high places, to deceive us and those we love (Eph 6:12). Not only that, the Bible tells they want to kill and destroy us (John 10:10). We have seen thisContinue reading “Truth more important than ever!”
There is no neutral with Jesus.
The haters of the Lord pretend submission to Him. (Psalm 81:15) And I can pretend submission to God while, in reality, I run my own life, rule my own way, do what feels “right” and all the while I can think, it’s “no big deal”. Today, so many false teachers stand on stages, cherry-picking Scripture,Continue reading “There is no neutral with Jesus.”
Eyes on the Better Object
The great, preacher teacher, Oswald Chambers, said, “If I have a lingering thought of defending myself I haven’t truly repented of the sin.” Indeed, we prevent our own freedom when we try to excuse or explain away that which God calls sin. It’s human nature to want to do so. But we are missing freedomContinue reading “Eyes on the Better Object”
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.”
48 years ago today.
August 16, 1977, I was sitting in a car with my mom when the news came over the radio—Elvis Presley had died. Forty-eight years ago today and I still remember watching my mom being visibly upset. I was only eight but quickly became obsessed with this famous person who had died so tragically, so young.Continue reading “48 years ago today.”
Let’s love enough to confront sin.
“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.” (Chan) Sometimes, we absolutely knowContinue reading “Let’s love enough to confront sin.”
Ignoring and Accepting Sin is Not Love.
We long for it.We desperately want it.Unconditional love. But the enemy, he’s twisted it. And so many are buying his lie, and the evil one is using this lie to separate people from those who truly love them. The father of all lies has whispered that if people don’t accept our sin, treat it asContinue reading “Ignoring and Accepting Sin is Not Love.”
