This faith wasn't discouraged by obstacles. These people were determined even though it meant stepping out of their comfort zone.
The Bible says that homosexuality is sin, but that doesn't justify any prejudice or judgment. We are called to extend love, grace, and acceptance to all sinners without compromising the truth.
One of the most convincing arguments against Christian faith is the corruption within the Church. There are reasons supporting this argument but also powerful responses to it!
Christians are to be transformed into the likeness of Christ by the renewing of our minds! We often act on our personal feelings about something rather than the truth of God. Our feelings are very difficult to change but it CAN happen!
We often feel paralyzed by the reality of radical evil in the world. Christians and non-Christians each have their own standard cliche responses, but they do not really help the situation. God knows radical evil and suffering better than any of us. What’s more, God’s power and presence are there to give us peace and victory when we suffer unspeakable evils in our lives. Listen to Greg 's response to the Oklahoma City bombing.
Not everything that we believe is of equal importance. Greg addressed what the Bible considers to be of first importance! That is, the resurrection of Christ. All people seek meaning in their lives, but many fail to recognize the centrality and necessity of Christ’s resurrection to that search.
God calls the church to be a place that is safe for wounded people. It is here that healing can be found and a new life begun!
Church, it's time to GROW UP! Pastors should not be doing all the work! Rather, they are to be preparing all Christians for ministry so that the whole Body of Christ may be built up.
When we forget that we live in the midst of a battlefield, our faith becomes merely religion. When we recognize that there is an enemy who seeks to kill and destroy, our faith becomes the weapon of God’s victory! Salvation through Christ is not only for our personal sins; it is the power of God to defeat the enemy as well!
The world will judge the church by what it sees, so when we fight amongst ourselves we ruin our witness for Christ.
The Bible says that Christians are to be meek. Greg revealed the true meaning of this powerful word that Paul uses in his letter to the Ephesians.
Humility is the power of having something great, but not displaying it for your own sake. God, in infinite humility, had the power it took to come under us in order to lift us up and transform us!
Here is a profound truth: All the things that motivate us to free ourselves from others, we receive when we become prisoners to God in Christ!
Nothing is more damaging to the purposes of God than the evil divisions that Christians and churches so often resign themselves to.
Throughout the Bible we can see the importance placed on making resolutions. Thoughtfully considered vows have an important role to play in the Christian's life.
