Jesus is in the life-changing business

From the very beginning all kinds of people were drawn to him and would come to him — satisfied people, messed-up people, lepers and injured people, forgotten people, despised people, prostitutes, tax collectors, admired people, wealthy people, religious leaders. There was something about this man Jesus that made their […]

The Power of the Mind in Discipleship
Two people suffer from cancer. One becomes bitter and despairing while the other is a beacon of honesty and hope to the people around them. Their cancer is the same. The difference is in their minds.

How beauty points to the existence of God
In his late seventies, Antony Flew, one of the twentieth century’s most famous philosophers, stunned the philosophical world by announcing that he had begun to believe in God. If you are not into philosophy, you may not realize what a big deal this was. It would be like Rush Limbaugh suddenly declaring that he is […]

The Spiritual Discipline of evangelism
Only the sheer rapture of being lost in the worship of God is as exhilarating and intoxicating as telling someone about Jesus Christ.

What if I don’t feel joy

This is one of the most important questions anyone can ask, and the answer has the power to change a person’s life trajectory for eternity.

The truth about idolatry
What does the word idolatry suggest to your mind? Savages groveling before a totem pole? Cruel-faced statues in Hindu temples? The dervish dance of the priests of Baal around Elijah’s altar?

Loving God with Your Mind
Jesus said that the greatest commandment is “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind.” We have been discussing making an offering of the body, which is an act of worship “offered by mind and heart.” The next thing we are to do is to let […]

The Greatest Moment In Your Life
If someone were to ask you what was the greatest moment of your life, what would you say? What is the first thing that comes to mind? I may not know you, but I know that there have been some extraordinary moments in your life: There was the moment you were born—when the clock of […]
