When you lose intimacy with God, you lose boldness and the Spirit’s fire. Return to Him, and He will return to you (Zechariah 1:3). The strength of your church is in its purity and spiritual power, not in its numbers. God doesn’t need a majority—He is the Majority. We are not CEOs running a business,... Continue Reading

“Even the statistics for the groups that are most in-tune with biblical teachings, such as belief in the nature and impact of the Trinity, are shockingly low for a nation in which most people claim to be Christian.” Barna identified “these findings about America’s ignorance or rejection of the Trinity” as “simply another in a...

Pastors were never called to pastor all the people in all the churches in all the places. Nor were we called to be abreast of every theological tiff and methodological squabble happening in Christendom. The apostle Peter gives pastors a word of exhortation in 1 Peter 5:2 that is so freeing. “Shepherd the flock of... Continue Reading

This means conducting oneself as if what they do, they do for Christ for He is the true sovereign (I Cor 10:31). This means the Christian will most... Continue Reading
