The Lord Will Provide
How does God provide beyond all that we ask or imagine?
God would provide and did provide. “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” “And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, ‘In the Mount of the... Continue Reading
Women In Worship
The Christian faith, church, and gospel is the greatest beacon of hope and liberty for all people--and women have been at the very top of this list.
“Why is it, then, that Christian women are *not* to preach in church, lead in prayer, offer ‘mini-sermons’ as musicians, or participate in administering the sacraments?” This is a fair question. The answer is, “Because God has not constituted them [in their very being, as women] to do these things.” . . . The... Continue Reading
The Day of Small Things
God measures faithfulness, not visibility.
Much of God’s work begins quietly. A conversation. A household. A single act of obedience repeated over time. These beginnings rarely look strategic or powerful, yet they are often the foundation of lasting fruit. We often assume that meaningful work must start with something impressive. “For who has despised the day of small things?”... Continue Reading
Delighting In Christ
Why is it, then, that so few (of even Christian) people seem to "delight in Christ"?
True Christianity is the only religion in the world, that is meant to be enjoyed. ALL other forms of religion–without exception–are meant to assuage guilty consciences, puff-up proud works-righteousness, and prop-up false hopes of salvation. The true gospel faith does none of this. Here are some of the things that every true Christian is... Continue Reading
My Success is Totally Dependent upon the Lord–Maxim # 43
Whatever type of success that comes to me, it will only come by God’s grace.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.” Psalm 127:1. I choose to live every day dependent upon Him. This means I will be in conversation with my Father and my Savior through scripture and prayer.... Continue Reading
The Center of Christianity Is the Cross, Not Traditions
What does Mark 7 have to say to you?
If we replace the Scriptures with human ideas, whether handed down or self-developed, we relocate the centre of Christianity and begin to worship a different god, a god who, not surprisingly, looks very much like me. This is one of the reasons Christians dive so deeply into conspiracy theories and become enamoured with nearly everything... Continue Reading
Poured Out for Others
The Meaning of a Sacrificial Life
Following the apostle’s example, each of us is also called to be a drink offering for others. We’re called to be poured out as a glorifying accompaniment to their lives of sacrificial service. Like Paul, we labor and run and work and give so that others can be pure and blameless for the day of... Continue Reading

Ponder These Things: Antidote to Anxiety
In Philippians 4, Paul calls the anxious to prayer as well as to ponder and practice certain things.
We have peace with God through Christ Jesus, He is guarding our hearts and minds. Furthermore, not only do we have peace with God, but the God of peace Himself is with us. What can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus? Nothing! Ponder these things my friends. Anxious, Angry, and... Continue Reading
Be Free! (Galatians 4:8–11)
Don’t go back to the slavery of legalism, ritualism, and materialism.
There will always be strong temptations to pull away from Christ and back to self-determining legalism, ritualism, and materialistic self-fulfillment. The Galatians, like Lot’s wife, were succumbing to this temptation [to look back]. Will we do the same? “What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Didn’t we say to... Continue Reading
