Digital Dangers

Technological developments encourage advancement or expose depravity. Acknowledge the digital dangers and resolve to alter your habits so you can be as closely aligned with God as possible.

God’s Unexpected Plans

We often contrive neat and tidy ways in which we expect the Lord to work, but He often surprises us. Instead of growing frustrated with these turns, have you considered that maybe He is bringing together a better plan than your own? It’s time to go the second mile in embracing God’s unexpected plans.

When a Church Isn’t a Church

A church must be built on Jesus, just like our lives must be centered around Him. If a church is grounded on something other than Jesus, it might not really be a church.

Unwilling to Share

Many Christians say they are too scared to share the gospel with others, but we easily share anytime with anyone about anything without fear. Have we become unwilling to share the most important message in our lives?

Ignoring the First Part of the Great Commission

We often skip over Jesus' declaration of His authority in the Great Commission, but our efforts won't work without His power. The authority of Christ means we should not fear what this world can do to us, but it also implies we shouldn't drag our feet with what He has called us to do.

The Potential Impact of Christian College Students

Christian college students have a unique opportunity to live for Jesus at that stage in life at a more intentional and intense pace than previously able. Many fail to thrive during those years, even though the potential is unlike any other time.

Embracing God’s Design

Were we designed intentionally, or did we appear accidentally? That debate has been going on for quite some time. Nowadays, the more intense disagreement arises from not if we were made but how we were made. What does the image of God mean?

Grow Up to Build Up

We often speak of the individualized side of following Jesus to warn others from a false belief of inheriting the benefits of another's devotion, but we also miss something. One Christian's growth should help build the rest of us up.

Attempting God’s Work Through Your Power

Exodus 2:11-25 – Moses desired to deliver God’s people through his strength, but his efforts would never suffice. If God calls us to something great, we must realize His power must accomplish it.

The Overshadowed Church

Jesus didn't die so that we can have real estate with steeples on top. He died so that we could be reconciled to God and restored to one another.
