How Low & High in Your View?

How Low & High in Your View?

In my message this past Sunday, I shared this thought: One of the problems we have in our theology is that it is not low enough or high enough. We don’t see how low we really are in regard to the pervasive nature of our sin and how much it has corrupted our mind, emotions, will, and body. But also, we don’t see how high our God really is as the only true and living One who is far beyond our total comprehension and perfectly holy, righteous, and just in all His ways.

Reluctant to Forgive

I thought the following was very helpful to reflect upon in light of Jesus’ words: “For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions” (Matthew 6:14–15).

Dustin Benge (Managing Director of Unashamed Truth; Associate Professor of Spirituality and Historical Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) shared these insightful truths about why believers sometimes hesitate to forgive others.

Take the Global Missions Quiz

We are hosting 8 of our 9 International Missionaries this coming weekend for our International Missions Conference. In light of this, I thought it would be fun to test our awareness with a quiz about missions and the global mission field.

1. What percentage of the world’s population is still classed as “unreached” – with very little or no opportunity to meet a Christian or hear the Gospel throughout their lives?

A Word to our Young Adults

The following is not shared to judge or offend anyone, but rather to help us all (as the church) to understand some of the ways culture is leading our young adults in the wrong direction and to pray and encourage their pursuit of God’s plan.

On February 5th, Dr. Al Mohler spoke these words on his daily podcast (The Briefing) in light of a Wall Street Journal article on why Young Adults are not growing up: “They’re not moving into adulthood. They’re not achieving the usual markers of Adulthood. These young people are not not getting married and they’re not not becoming parents and they’re not not buying homes because they can’t. It’s because they’re making other choices. It’s because they have other priorities in life.

God’s Will. How Can I Discover It?

God’s Will. How Can I Discover It?

One of the questions that pastors are often asked in ministry is “how do I discover God’s will for my life?" Whether it is seeking God’s will about a job, a future career, a location move, future education, or any other important decision in life, believers want to know how to discern God’s will on a matter.
I was recently alerted to read an excellent and free 29-page mini book on God’s Will and Making Decisions by Andrew David Naselli. It addresses the various ways Christians have sought to find God’s will and then offers some very sound biblical wisdom on finding God’s will. The chapters address the following:

Praying for our Governing Authorities

This week all across the United States, whether locally or nationally, inaugurations have taken place for incoming mayors, city council members, representatives, senators, judges, and other governing authorities as they begin or continue their work as public servants. It is a good reminder to all of us as disciples of Jesus Christ that we are called to pray for them. 1 Timothy 2:1–4 says, “First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
