God loves you
In the days when the great evangelist Dwight L. Moody was preaching in Chicago, a poor drunkard stumbled up the steps to the front door of Moody’s church. The man pushed the door open, scanned the room, and saw no one inside. His eyes, however, were drawn to a large sign hanging above the pulpit […]

BELIEVING REQUIRES PROCLAIMING
Following Jesus necessitates believing Jesus, and believing Jesus leads to proclaiming Jesus. Consequently, a privatized faith in a resurrected Christ is practically inconceivable. Yet privatized Christianity is a curse across our culture and the church today. Multitudes of professing Christians say (or at least think), “Jesus has saved me. Jesus’ teachings work for me. But […]

Excited about a new book!
I’m trying to remember the last time I was more excited about a new book or a new author. Rankin Wilbourne brings a remarkable flair for writing, and a great breadth and depth of learning, and a passionate heart, to the most important subject in the world: What is the true and sufficient destiny for […]

The God We Hate
A lot of people assume that because I am a pastor that I have it all together—at least spiritually. They assume that I roll over each morning, open my eyes, and sigh with contentment, “Good morning, Lord!” Then I grab the harp beside my bed and pluck out a few psalms I composed in my […]

Francis Chan: advantages of small
One of the greatest advantages of this method is that it requires no budget. It can be completely free. As the churches take offerings, 100 percent of the money can go to the poor and to missions. From surveys I have studied, it costs on average approximately $1,000 per person annually to attend a church […]

FOLLOWING REQUIRES BELIEVING
According to research, many “Christians” no longer believe that God is the supreme Creator and Ruler of the universe. Such “Christians” believe that everyone is god or that maybe god is simply the realization of one’s human potential. Over half of “Christians” don’t believe that the Holy Spirit or Satan is real, and tens of […]

The cross is laid on every Christian
The cross is laid on every Christian. The first Christ-suffering which every man must experience is the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with […]

DON’T MAKE JESUS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR
When followers of Christ share stories of how they became Christians, they often say something along the lines of, “I decided to make Jesus my personal Lord and Savior.” Initially and ultimately, of course, it’s wonderful to hear brothers and sisters recount the moment when their hearts were opened to the incomprehensibly passionate love of […]

Are all religions the same?
Many believe that all religions worship the same god but give god different names and worship in different ways. Gandhi said it this way: “The soul of religion is one, but it is encased in a multitude of forms.” Another way of describing it goes like this: There is a holy mountain with many paths […]
