The Path From Belief to Conviction

The word “conviction” is a powerful word in our language.  It conjures up ideas of not only a guilty verdict from a courtroom setting, but also a solid or firmly held belief, as in the idea that people should be convicted of what they believe.  Vocabulary.com explains this word: “A conviction is something certain: a judgment of guilty in court and a strong belief are both convictions.  In the legal world, when a judge or jury convicts someone of a crime — finding them guilty — … [Read more...] about The Path From Belief to Conviction

A Mind Fit for Eternity

God has always worked with flawed people. From David's contrite heart to Moses' reluctant leadership, from Abraham's faithful obedience to Peter's impulsive loyalty—perfection was never the requirement. But a willingness to follow, to grow, and to be changed, that is something God can work with. So what is it that makes one person "fit" for eternal life, and another not? Is it simply belief? Is it good behavior? Or is there something deeper happening in the minds and hearts of those who … [Read more...] about A Mind Fit for Eternity

When You Are Accused

It is understood that at some point in our lives we will all be accused of wrongdoing. Shame and dishonor are brought against our name when we are innocent. It's the nature of the world we live in. David, King of Israel had no shortage of experience with false accusation and betrayal. King Saul sought to take his life, his own son Absalom sought to take his Kingdom, and he was often hated without cause. David sums up the intense feelings of betrayal in Psalm 109: “They have also … [Read more...] about When You Are Accused

The Book Of Life

According to those who take the pulse of societal trends, many people admit to having no meaning in their lives.  That seems to be a big factor behind a lot of the anti-social activity we see. They don’t know what their life is about.  Religion, politics, and the culture at large fail to give any essential meaning to life.   However, understanding the Book of Life mentioned throughout the Bible does enhance the relevance of our Christian lives. King David is one who … [Read more...] about The Book Of Life

Social Justice vs Biblical Justice

In recent years we hear of a growing concern about "social justice." What is meant by that phrase, however, varies widely among those who use and promote it. Dr. Voddie Baucham began as a Baptist pastor in Texas and is now serving as Dean of the School of the Divinity at African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia. This diversity allows him to address the topic of social justice from “within” and from “without.” What is too often missing - even in the calls for "social justice" coming … [Read more...] about Social Justice vs Biblical Justice

The 3 D’s of Satan’s Toolbox

I want to identify and explore three points of weakness that Satan can and will use to his advantage to manipulate followers of Christ to sin and to look at some ways we can counter his manipulation and strengthen these areas.  These three points, I call “The 3 D’s of Satan’s Toolbox.” The first of these is doubt.  Doubt is something that comes quite naturally to the human mind.  I know this because every time I play golf, I doubt that I will do well.  But in this current age we find … [Read more...] about The 3 D’s of Satan’s Toolbox

By Your Patience Possess Your Souls

In Luke 21 Christ is talking to His disciples who have asked Him what the sign will be that "these things" are about to take place.  The time of the end is the context: Nations are rising up against nations, kingdom against kingdom. There are famines, pestilences and great earthquakes in various places. As we go further away from these beginning signs which we can observe today it’s going to get more difficult for God’s people as the end times draw nearer. It becomes more intensely … [Read more...] about By Your Patience Possess Your Souls
