Transformation
Imagine you can’t play the piano and I asked you to play Amazing Grace. Would it be easy or hard? Would it help if you tried really, really hard to play Amazing Grace? This is how many people try to live the Christian life. They hear a sermon on gratefulness. They try really hard to […]

The Law of Training

Jesus’s easy yoke
Is Christian living easy or hard? Is it easy or hard for you to live the Christian life? I have asked this question to thousands of Christians and consistently they will answer with resolve, “Hard!” Then, I show them this familiar verse: For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:30 (NIV2011) I […]

The Benefits of Gratitude
We want to talk about how we can be people who give thanks in all things, but before we do, let’s explore some of the benefits of gratitude. Nothing predicts happiness like gratitude.

Can Christians be deceived?
Truth, reason, and clear thinking are important because Christians can be doctrinally deceived—that is, they can succumb to false doctrine. Ezekiel 34:1-7 clearly affirms that God’s sheep can be abused and led astray by wicked shepherds. Moreover, Jesus warned His followers to beware of false prophets who may appear to be good on the outside […]

The 21 Laws of Discipleship
Why do so many struggle so deeply to live the disciple’s life? Why are so many church attenders so much like the world? How can we effectively make disciples? Well, it’s complicated.
