How’s the war going?
How is the war going? Not that war—the war in Ukraine. The other war. The spiritual war. The war for human hearts. The war to usher in the Kingdom of God. The war to see Christ as Lord of every heart. How is that war going? Not so well? Perhaps we should get to know […]

Keep moving in spite of fears
If we want to be difference makers in a world like this, we have to keep moving in spite of our fears. We have to have courage. Courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s the absence of self. To move forward with courage doesn’t mean you’re not afraid of anything; it means your main focus […]

BREAKING BARRIERS TO REACHING PEOPLE WITH THE GOSPEL
WHEN JESUS SPENT TIME WITH UNBELIEVERS—like “tax collectors and sinners”—the people most upset by His actions were religious leaders. Matthew was a tax collector (a group despised for collaborating with the Romans) who became a follower of Jesus. After his conversion, he hosted a dinner party to introduce Jesus to his friends. When they learned […]
