The notion of balance in your life is a man-made weight that you can lay down at the feet of Jesus. Friends, Balance is a myth. We aren't called to balanced lives. We are called to live surrendered lives. We are called to live disciplined lives. But I can't find any scriptures teaching that God expects balance in our lives in the sense we are talki…

Pride distances us from God. God dwells with the humble, but casts away the proud. --Pride is the underlying cause of all human suffering - actually all of the suffering in the world is a result of Pride. But humility is the foundation of human flourishing. --Pride is, foundationally, an inappropriate focus on yourself. Pride is rooted in self-focu…

Religious teaching about women has been characterized by two extremes. --Obviously neither extreme view is correct, but does anyone really believe what we have now is better-- The family unit is being dismantled- children are being raised by the State, families find it VERY difficult to survive on one income, Women are expected to do all the jobs o…

So much has happened in our culture so fast. And we as the people of God- we as the body of Christ can no longer afford to be silent. -We, in the west, live in a culture of exponentially accelerating insanity. -There is a definite agenda - an active undoing of what our culture has fundamentally been in the past. There is a grand conspiracy, and Sat…

You can't always trust what you see-You can't always trust what you hear-You can't always trust what you feel--Only through faith can we understand that things which are seen were not made by things which do appear.

This is the only path to ongoing peace …

EVERYTHING about Biblical evangelism springs forth from the life of Christ within you. True evangelism is not a thing you go do - it's not an event on a Saturday afternoon - and it's not something you can go to classes and be trained in. True evangelism is a result of the overflowing of Supernatural life--True evangelism is spiritual in its origins…

- -I CAN- -o Too many Christians focus too little on this. We're prone to focus on what we can not do. We tend to focus on our own weaknesses -as if that were some sort of surprise--o Of course we have weaknesses - you are a human-o Of course we are utterly weak-completely impotent in fact-as compared to the Lord God Almighty-o But your own weaknes…

a. God knows His own perfect plans.-b. God knows the blessings He has planned for you, whether you do or not.-c. Your awareness of His blessings has no impact on the reality of what God is going to do. Just because you can't see it yet doesn't mean his planned blessings won't come to pass. -d. It doesn't really matter if you know the plans he has f…

Are you a disciple of Christ---Notice how closely that word resembles the word -Discipline.- -Are you serious about following Christ---- Being a disciple means it's not about what you want or what you can get by with or maybe what God will tolerate, but ultimately what will please God.-- Oh how different our lives would be if we lived purely by thi…

This message has to do with approaching the things of God, and how we ought to do that. --Principles in approaching the things of God-- Don't ever put yourself in a place of honor. Let God do that-- Approach the worship service with your eyes on the Lord, and how you can please and honor him, rather than what you need to do to feel better-- Have a …

When Tragedy strikes--We get a sense of underlying meaning from the very wording of that title. It is as if tragedy itself has its own will and purpose to destroy us -- that it wants to strike, cause suffering, and ultimately destroy. And it implies that you have no choice in the matter - that you have no control. But, is that accurate----This kind…

The only true service to the Lord is what HE deems service. The only authentic worship is what he deems worship, no matter how well-intentioned the presumed worshiper may be.--Good intentions don't always produce God-honoring results. In fact, they can sometimes do the exact opposite. That is why I haven't titled the message, -How to evangelize- or…

In this message we consider the call to preach the gospel, according to scripture. We examine God's call to the prophet Ezekiel to preach to the rebellious House of Israel. May this message be an encouragement to all true God-called preachers and to all who may listen to the Truth. --To the preachers--YOU spend time alone with God.-YOU be sure you …

God Changes Everything. That is what He does. And when the imperfect, changeable, sinful, double-mind creature meets the unchanging Lord of Glory, that creature will be changed- --The Christian must also change. And if the child of God is resistant to God-inspired change, that is dangerous, and potentially idolatrous. --The Greek discussed here is …

The Holy Spirit desires to bring about unity in the body. But true abiding unity only comes when the individual body parts stop contending for what they want and submit themselves wholly to what the Head leads. The Holy Spirit desires to produce health in the body, but the body parts may not like the path it takes to get there, and may fight agains…

Sometimes we avoid or shy away from certain scriptural truths because un-scriptural preachers have hijacked, twisted, and perverted the truth. But, no matter how wrongly certain truths have been handled by false teachers, it doesn't make those truths any less true. --We ought to preach and embrace the truth, no matter how many people have misused i…

In this 6th look at -The Ekklessia- The Body of Christ and How She Functions with Christ as Her Head,- we consider the Great Commission of Jesus Christ.

In this 5th look at -The Ekklesia,- we discuss how Love should be our foundation, our motivation, and our essence.

And -greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his lif…

There are 7 primary factors or categories that influence how a congregation functions. Of course this list is not all-encompassing, but generally speaking, additional aspects or points can likely be included in one of these 7 categories. --1. The Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ-a. Everything Jesus explicitly commanded-b. Everything he implicitly…

We need more of Jesus and less of our own ideas and works and habits- We need more of Jesus and less religious activity We need more of Jesus and less Church stuff--A person may say, -Well You Can Have Both.- -- But why would you want both------If you have truly experienced Jesus as the transformational force that we claim He is, why would you want…

We MUST have power with God. Our entire future is dependent on this one thing. I would go so far as to say this. If we don't have power with God, all other religious activity is in vain. --Holy Spirit inspired, Holy Spirit-produced, and Holy Spirit-sustained power is everything.--You may say, -We just need to be more loving.- The problem with state…

Information alone is utterly inadequate to speak to a person's innermost needs. This is why God has given us more than the Bible. And Jesus has left us with much more than eyewitness accounts of what he did while here on this earth. What have we been left with--- The Holy Spirit-Moreover, Jesus did not give us a religion. He did not pass down mere …

Part 3 of -Wrestling with Romans 13.- There are times to resist -government authority,- but we must remember---- Our resistance shouldn't be primarily about our fleshly comfort or our own obstinate personal will, but about the kingdom of God and the Salvation of Lost Souls. -o Both now and in the future.-- Whatever we decide -and whatever we do-, w…

Consensus of opinion is not the path to truth. Truth must be revealed by the Truthful One-o It is the Truth that matters. It is the Truth that sets you free. -o I must be more concerned with speaking the truth than whether you like what I'm saying. -o This is why it is necessary to understand proper submission to authority. And what authority is. A…

In this message, brother Just wrestles with Romans 13 vs. 1-8. This passage of scripture is often invoked by people saying that you must submit to a certain law, edict, or mandate -because...Romans 13.- But is this what the Apostle Paul meant-- --A surface reading makes it sound like everyone should do whatever the government says no matter what. .…
