Shall we witness? Yes, yes we shall. And Jesus will be lifted up in the eyes, ears and hearts of all the Spirit calls to trust in him. Let us not ignore the growing antagonism to, complacency for, and ignorance of the gospel. Yet, let us ask Jesus to keep his promises, He will still use us to save sinners!...

We need to be clear in our warning against sexuality outside legitimate heterosexual marriage, if only be-cause it is a common sin ensnaring and carrying of into eternal hell millions around us. The ensnared ones include both shepherds and sheep professing faith in Christ. For their sake we must be clear on the true danger they face. And we must also be clear on the suffic...

Let us put repentance’s necessity back in its place, as the starting point for our gospeling. People will be saved, both those rejecting Jesus and those with a flawed hope in him. They will be freed from “whatever that means.”...

Even though the believer is promised that God is sovereignly overseeing each day of life with Christ, in its details, the appearance of these daily comfort criminals leads him to ask, “Uh God, you’re paying attention, right?” The answer God gives in the Bible may seem like there is a disconnect between reality and his understand-ing of what exactly comfort is. Nevert...

There you have it! A man with the most despicable life imaginable, at the last possible moment of life, made a profession of faith, to which God said “yes”. He did nothing to earn this, nor could he do anything to prove his worth afterwards. Instead, an exception to the rule, this man was ushered from conversion, to im-mediate death, to judgment. There he found that hi...

You will experience the Spirit-ual Octane-Boosted life. As you do, let your gratefulness for your new life propel you into witnessing to those around you. Some of them are driving their lives into the doom of hell. Others may or may not be saved, and need to know how you’ve learned to live by the Spirit-powered, faith-fueled new life in Christ. Both kinds of people will ...

Let’s dare to become like them, heroes of the faith. The people around us, those who intuitively know they “need a hero” will look to us, and see and hear of Christ. Born again, they will rejoice in joining us in this daring life....

Our witness is a primary means God will use to win his children to the true gospel (Rom 10:13-17). Our wit-ness, then, is a vital starting point for people to experience the true fruit of Christ’ abundant life, the one that yields an eternal weight of blessed joyful glory....

Now, more than ever, we need to fall down before God and plead his mercy on us. We need to be wary of falling into the various us-vs-them traps Satan uses when God’s people begin to observe something is stink-ing up the Church. We need to plead for our own humility, looking for where we might be guilty of devalu-ing, defacing, or detracting from the gospel of Christ. And...

America’s right to “free speech” is enshrined in the idea of the open public square, where anyone is allowed to set up their soap-box and bellow out the message they think their fellow citizens need to heed. With this SCOTUS decision, the soap box has been forcibly removed, and replaced with a guillotine. Mark these words and watch as what are now only implication-pr...

This is what the Millennial-none needs: a believer, secure in a Spirit-born faith, to trust God and take the gospel to them. Yes, skepticism will be wide and deep in the Millennial-none’s life. Yet the Spirit who gives true new life will cause our light, Jesus himself, to shine in our words and ways. He will lead them to a faith that ends both their slavery and their wan...

This is why we pray for revival. It is a good expression of our faith to learn how to witness, to develop lists of people we know need Jesus, and to strategize on how to give them the gospel. Yet apart from the Spirit’s effective presence, we labor in vain. Apart from the Spirit’s powerful response, our efforts will be for naught, so much exertion of our energy without...

If Jesus were a superhero, one of his titles would rightly be The Abominator. The gospel begins with this horrible truth that all of us are so fully and truly abominations before the Lord that we have no hope of ever finding even the possibility of peace with God. Yet, God who justly hates us in our abominations has also chosen to love us in them! He sent Jesus to become t...

God is not mocked. The coronavirus is one of the seeds we’ve sown, and its toll of suffering and death is part of the harvest of corruption that comes with it (Gal 6:7-8). In this grandma hating time, singing the Mt Carmel Blues won’t take away the sting of these things (1Co 15:55-56). We need to return to our first love, our only hope, Jesus, and take him to our famil...
