Be Careful What You Speak
The permeating pollution of profanity has become common place in our culture because society’s comfort level of what is tolerated has shifted. Expletives, once banned in public, are now unbridled. However, I grew up in an era and in an environment where cursing was...
No Greater Love
Contributor: Chad Roberts Genesis 3 is foundational to understanding the Gospel. If you can understand the fall of man, you will be able to grasp God's eternal plans of redemption. Consequently, if you have misconceptions of Genesis 3, it will leave you...
The Way
John 3:16 was one of the first verses I memorized as a new Christian: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son (Jesus) that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” (NIV). While meditating on this short but very significant verse,...
Earth Day & Evolution
This weekend is Earth Day. Millions across the globe will recognize and honor the environment while doubling down on their efforts to protect climate change. Should Christians celebrate Earth Day? I argue no. I do not mean to belittle the importance of the earth,...
An Attitude of Gratitude
One of the most important decisions I make each day is to have a good attitude. This is not to say I get it right every time, but it is one of my greatest goals. I cannot express how difficult it is to see so vividly in my dreams and then to wake up to...
The God Who Sees…And Hears
How many can say that you experienced or are currently experiencing moments of praying and crying out to God for an answer? You have waited…and waited...and waited…for Him to respond. And that waiting has become painful as days have evolved into weeks and then into...
Godly Friendships
I appreciate the way David uses contrast throughout the book of Psalms. Such is the case in Psalm 16:3-4. He contrasts the godly from the ungodly. This is a great principle for our lives. When it comes to righteous people, David says they are his...
Two Roads
Jesus taught people are on one of two paths. He called it the broad road and the narrow road (Matthew 7:13-14). The first leads to eternal destruction, while the second leads to eternal life. I am always stunned when I hear people say, “All roads lead to...
God in Our Daily Routines
Do you feel stuck in life? If so, you're not alone. A recent study shows that sixty-nine percent of Americans feel stuck in their daily routines. As a pastor, I find this statistic disappointing. A careful study of the Bible will show that God...
Overtaken by God’s Blessings
What comes to mind when you think of God's blessings? For me, the word favor comes to mind. I want God's hand so evident on my life that His favor can be seen in every aspect. Deuteronomy 28 is some of the most exciting and vivid language...
“If”
As I was studying God’s Word the other day, my eyes fastened on the word “if” which Satan used to tempt Jesus in the desert. Interestingly if is used 805 times in the Old Testament and 602 times in the New Testament for a total of 1,407. Satan confronted Jesus as...
Resolute Faith
Contributor: Chad Roberts Approximately 45% of Americans start the New Year with a resolution. However, only about 8% actually keep their resolutions for the year. Statistics tell us about 22% of resolutions fail after one week, 40% after one month, 50% after...
