Why do we lack discernment?

When Jesus was asked to speak about the end times, one of the signs He gave was the deception of God’s people (Mt. 24:24). Other passages warn us of false prophets (2 Thess. 2:3; 2 Tim. 4:1, 3-42 Pet. 2:2, 12-13), Satan (2 Thess. 2:9-12), and personal deception (1 Cor. 6:9-10; Gal. 6:6-8). How doesContinue reading “Why do we lack discernment?”

In a recent presentation by Barna Research and Pepperdine University, it was shared that Church attendance is a decreasing expectation (watch here; find it at the 48:30 mark). Changes in family dynamics, more distractions, and a lack of commitment to a local congregation have all contributed to this new reality. As Church leaders, this isContinue reading “Going to Church: Why do we gather?”

The Design of the Church

God left much of the organization of the Church up to the Apostles and the early Church.

While the organization of a congregation was given to each local gathering, we do find in ScriptureContinue reading “The Design of the Church”
