Our Faithful Guide

I am very thankful for my GPS systems. Understanding directions is not a difficult task but having a personal guide in the car sure makes things a lot easier and helps to take the stress out of travel. The same is said for our spiritual life. We know that we are not a tourist lookingContinue reading “Our Faithful Guide”

Going to Church: Why do we gather?

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?”

Half of My Life: Seven Insights

I accepted the call to the ministry when I was 16 years old. At 15, I entered started home school and was amazed by the Bible teaching that I received. An impression was made on my life. Ministry was more than sharing simple stories but was full of timeless truths that needed to be shared.Continue reading “Half of My Life: Seven Insights”

The Design of the Church

God left much of the organization of the Church up to the Apostles and the early Church. Scripture will show us about the particular characteristics and life qualifications for pastors, elders and other servant leaders of the church. While the organization of a congregation was given to each local gathering, we do find in ScriptureContinue reading “The Design of the Church”

Jesus: Lord

One of the strongest statements about Jesus was given by one of the disciple’s known for his doubt. John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Thomas doubted the other disciples and the women who testified of Jesus’ resurrection. After a personal visitation by Christ, Thomas emphasized his allegiance toContinue reading “Jesus: Lord”

Jesus: Son of God

If you were to ask someone who Jesus is, you would probably hear someone say that He is the “Son of God.” What does this mean? Especially, in light of Scripture that tells us that we are the children, sons, or daughters of God (Matthew 5:9; John 1:12; Romans 8:14-19; Galatians 3:26; 1 John 3:1).Continue reading “Jesus: Son of God”

Jesus: The Christ

After writing my previous post (Jesus: Name above all Names), I received an e-mail asking what is the meaning of Christ and whether it was Jesus’ last name. I gave them a little bit of the sense and told them that the name, “Christ,” was my next post in the series. Matthew 16:16 “And Simon PeterContinue reading “Jesus: The Christ”

Jesus: Name Above All Names

Jesus is the central theme of Holy Scriptures. We find the likeness of Him in every book of the Bible. The Old Testament foretells of His first advent. The New Testament testifies of His life incarnate, His continuing work and second coming. Without Christ, we do not have hope. In the days to come, I am writingContinue reading “Jesus: Name Above All Names”
