IS BELIEF ENOUGH
Is believing in Jesus enough for your salvation? What does it mean to believe?
APOKATASTASIS
A single Greek word used only once in the NT has caused much consternation within the Church.
LOVING PROPITIATION
What does a pagan concept have to do with NT biblical Christianity?
RESURRECTION HOPE
If in this life only we have hope, we are to be pitied above all others.
MIND MASTERS
Don't be caught up in the Popeye Syndrome.
DECIDING FOR CHRIST pt. 2
It may appear that we must make a decision for Christ, but if He does not first move toward us, we would never move toward Him.
DECIDING FOR CHRIST
Most evangelicals teach that making a decision for Christ is within the realm of our free will and we should be smart enough to make that decision. Can we? Are we?
MY PEOPLE ISRAEL
ISRAEL—which is MOST IMPORTANT—country or people?
A BAPTISM CONUMDRUM
BAPTISM—Who, what, when, where, why and how.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Our expectations of how others should treat us or speak to us can be the root cause of much conflict.
WHEN IN ROME...
When you are secure in your identity, it matters not what others may think of you or what you do.
GRACEFUL AUTHORITY
Is your authority legitimized by those under you?
THE VOICE OF GOD
People may think they have never heard God's voice, but it may just be that they didn't know what they were hearing.
MYSTERY SOLVED
We love a good mystery, but it must have a solution, because our intellect cannot stand ambiguity.
THE HOUSE OF GOD
Let us not miss what the first Christmas was meant to teach.
SHOW ME
Believing "nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see" may be a good policy to protect us from our political leaders, but it does not serve us well when it comes to growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus.
SEEING GOD's GLORY
In order to be able to see God's glory, there are some things that may need to be changed.
NOT GUILTY
We do not have to wait for Judgment Day to hear the verdict.
HOW TO SEE JESUS
When and where do you see Jesus?
Are you able to see Jesus in the face of a strung-out meth addict?
Can you see Him in the face of the street beggar trying to con you out of a dollar?
STAYIN' ALIVE
Do you know how to escape the Great Tribulation?
THE RAPTURE
There is only ONE reason the Rapture has not yet happened.
THE GIFT OF GIVING
GIVING needs your heart. Tithing needs your head. God wants your heart.
PRESS ON
Have you achieved all that God has given you?
INEFFECTIVE BAND AID
People try all sorts of things to repair a life that is out of balance, but most of those things never work.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Expectations are the number one cause of disappointment
FORGIVENESS
A failure to forgive might possibly be a factor in the many ills facing our society.
WHOSE IMAGE
There are some images planted in our brain which we can never unsee.
PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE
You alone hold the key to a peaceful co-existence with others.
MAKING DISTINCTIONS
In at least five places in the NT we are told to realize that we are one with everyone, and yet we continue to classify others as to their level of righteousness.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
Stop looking at what you DON'T have. Let God use what you DO have.
DEFINED BY DNA
Can your DNA be changed? What would happen if it were?
LESSONS OF THE KINGDOM
Is our western understanding of a kingdom the only possible reality?
A BIG THREE LETTER WORD
People like to say that they believe the Bible from cover to cover, but when this word is used, they have to make changes to what is meant.
THE MULLIGRUBS
Have you ever been so low that it felt impossible to look up?
A LICENSE TO SIN
Some folks believe that teaching grace gives people a license to sin, but the exact opposite is true. Grace takes away the license to sin.
THE WAY WE WERE
It is sad that so many believers still live in the past when God says they have left all that behind. You are not your past.
TRUE RELIGION
Is it possible that we have the idea of religion all wrong?
Is what we do in line with God's desire?
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
IF the Great Commission is for all believers, then we are doing it wrong.
THE DAM IS BREAKING
Man-made restrictions on the Spirit of God has never worked long-term, because God simply will not be bound by rules and regualtions.
BUT GOD
If it weren't for the many times that God intervened on my behalf, I would be in a completely different place.
What about you?
What would've happened to you if it were not for the contradiction of "BUT GOD"?
YOU CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE
Is the Christian path the only correct one? What about those who have chosen another way?
What will happen to them?
THE GOOD SHEPHERD
We probably know more about cattle than we do shepherds. However, we do know about Jesus being the Good Shepherd.
A RATTLING OF BONES
The resurrection of Lazarus and the resurrection of the house of Israel have something important to teach the Church.
BUY A LOVE COVER
Owning and using a Love Cover requires that we see things differently from the norm.
WHEN I WAS SAVED
When I could not give the exact time and date of my salvation, I was made to feel as if I had never truly been born again. That is utter nonsense and something I hope you have not experienced.
MUST and MIGHT
These two words go to the heart of the gospel. The two words do not mean what we usually take them to mean.
A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Murder, adultery, drunkenness, lying, stealing are not sins, but symptoms.
JESUS ONLY
There is something significant about Moses and Elijah and their disappearing act on the Mount of Transfiguration.

In one of his most famous lines, Yoda manages to utter the heart of the gospel.

God, in His magnanimous all-inclusive love has included you in the divine dance.
