Prodigal God

The life-changing impact of the Bible
The final reason I believe the Bible is God’s Word is more experiential, but it is extraordinarily powerful. The reason is the very impact of the Bible. Its power to transform lives and nations is overwhelming. Wherever the Word of God goes, it brings life, health, and vitality. Despite those who have twisted its meaning […]

Go to Their Things and they will come to your things
Go to Their Things My wife and I have made it a priority to simply go. Birthday parties, children’s concerts, school plays, Tupperware parties, fundraisers, barbecues, trivia nights—we will be there. By going to our friends’ things, we earn enough trust and relational capital that our friends will happily come to one of our things. […]

Changing the world one party at a time
In the New Testament, Jesus shows up and fights for his right to party. We repeatedly see Jesus at parties. So much so, it led to an accusation the religious leaders made against him: “Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners” (Matt. 11:19). Jesus also compared God’s kingdom […]

Life change doesn’t begin with an experience
Life-change doesn’t begin with an experience. It may involve an experience, and experiences can open our eyes to needs and possibilities, but transformation is rooted in objective truth. The night before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed that the Father would make His followers pure and holy by the truth—God’s Word (John 17:17). Scripture is at the […]

God’s Dream for Your Life
I AM NOT SAYING I’m an attorney. I mean, I didn’t go to law school. I did, however, watch a bunch of episodes of Law & Order. I even took notes. I walked into the courtroom ready to yell, “I object!” and to whisper, “Can I approach the bench, your honor?” with a knowing look. […]

What is meant by the grace of God?
It is commonplace in all the churches to call Christianity a religion of grace. It is a truism of Christian scholarship that grace, far from being an impersonal force, a sort of celestial electricity received like a battery charge by “plugging in” to the sacraments, is a personal activity—God operating in love toward people.
