1 Thessalonians 5:12-18, “12 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. 13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.   14 And we urge you,…

I know it is obvious that practice makes perfect, but I think with social media and the bombardment of people’s “highlight reels” on places like Facebook we sometimes forget the hard work behind people’s published victories. Take for example my gift of preaching- I’ve been preaching over 20 years, I listen to all my sermons…

Warrant is justified true belief without any known defeaters. See if this one makes sense;   1. PREMISE 1: Warrant entails proper function.   2. PREMISE 2: God is the grounds for proper function. Based on Colossians 1:2-3, “Namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”   3. CONCLUSION 1:…

1 John 2:15-17 (NIV) 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the…

Enjoy this transcendental goodie as to why you’re a non-material mind (or a spiritual soul); PREMISE 1: To deny your non-material mind with your non-material mind is absurd. Based on Genesis 2:7, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man…

Take a moment to wrap your mind around this transcendental (non-physical) goodie; PREMISE 1: God is the precondition for “X” (whatever you can rationally conceive, including rationality, proper function and logic). Based on Romans 11:36, “For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.” Good…

The stats don’t lie. Sadly, though many pastors agree with me that discipleship is important, they fail to use Jesus’ standards for discipleship. Therefore, we have “super duper” looking churches but “sickly saints.” Here is the hard evidence that these “mile wide and inch deep churches” have created a huge gap in Christian beliefs and…

Paul wrote in Ephesians 1:1 (NKJV), “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus.” Notice who Paul considered to be the foundation of the church… the “saints” who were “faithful in Christ Jesus.”   Certainly, the people in Ephesus didn’t start…

Matthew 28:18-20, “18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything…

Jesus didn’t say… Go into all the world and watch Christian TV. Go into all the world and share Christian memes on social media. Go into all the world and publish New York Times Bestselling books. Go into all the world and charge people to attend worship concerts. Go into all the world and charge…
