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!...

This is why we consider these bountiful harvests of degradation in the church: because God has yet prom-ised to bring revival on his people, and (re)build his church in the pure gospel that leaves them rejoicing in Jesus! There is a bountiful recovery yet waiting for us. Let us go to him and ask in simple faith and repent-ance. He will amen!...

It is reasonable to be upset about the increasing degrees of persecution against Christians in our land. It is reasonable to even be scared by just the threat of it. Yet let us not remain in that fear. Let us look to our brothers and sisters suffering worse degrees of persecution for the name of Christ. Let us take comfort in their prayers for us that we too might experien...

Let’s end with one more significant reminder: Jesus lived, died, and rose again to break all our idolatries, in-cluding all our sexual idolatries. “Such were some of you” in 1 Corinthians 6:11 is the guarantee that the forgiveness and cleansing in 1 John 1:9 is true! Let us take this promise to our fami-ly/friends/neighbors/strangers. Whether they’ve worshipped the...

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....

Unless we return to this fight (witnessing), one of these doomsayers is gonna be right and the sky is going to fall on us. Unless we return to training for this fight (discipleship), we will keep fighting the wrong bat-tles, with each other and the world. Unless we return to going to the arena to cheer on our Champion Jesus (worship), we will shout ourselves voiceless in a...

Let us repent of how easily we get incensed at cultural offenses, while the name of our Savior is mocked day and night without a murmur from us! Let us repent of caring more about someone respecting our opinion than repenting of their sins before the King who will judge them and send them to hell. Let us repent of posting even a handful of things about the events of the da...

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...

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...

We who have heard the truly good news, who have been put to death to this life, and already brought back to a new life (Gal 2:20), we need envy no more. In this pandemic the world has coughed. Let us tell them of the Savior who died for them....
