strong temptation scripture
The temptation is for us to share our own opinions, our own thoughts and to speak from the whole realm of possibility. We can't do that as pastors. We need to have a strong voice of conviction, and the way we can do that is through Scripture.
vegas church shows
Never let the church become a place where it's just a Las Vegas display place for you to show off.
people treasure want
We preachers, people entrust us with their time week after week. I'm still stunned that people will let me talk to them for thirty minutes about anything I want to. It's a wonderful treasure that we are to steward.
answers conversation trump
My conversations with Trump supporters have left me with more questions than answers.
strong jesus trying
Theres a verse thats meant a lot to me ever since I was in my early 20s. 2 Timothy 2:8, Paul told Timothy to remember Jesus Christ, descended from David and raised from the dead. Thats a good principle, that if my theology, my whole life can be focused on remembering Jesus. Just trying to remember who He is, what He did, being strong in what He did and what He accomplished.
thinking giving dollars
Not everybody can create a foundation that's worth a billion dollars, but all of us can figure out those things we do. I really think God loves us too much to give us an assignment we don't enjoy doing.
jobs mean what-if
We act like God's only good when the outcome is good. We say, 'We've got a good God because I've got a good job.' But what if I don't have a good job? Does that mean God's not good anymore?
jesus bread-of-life doe
Bread of Life? Jesus lived up to the title. But an unopened loaf does a person no good. Have you received the bread? Have you received God's forgiveness?
attitude thinking views
Where we might think of sin as slip-ups or missteps, God views sin as a godless attitude that leads to godless action.
thinking challenges church
Every time we equip the church with a verse, chapter or a story from the Bible, we're really placing another weapon in the hands of the Holy Spirit that He uses to challenge and strengthen the church. I think that's very important.
blue sky despair
We need hope. There's nothing worse than to live a life of despair. For a person to have no hope just sucks the blue out of every sky.
father heart rocks
Confession is the act of inviting God to walk the acreage of our hearts. “There is a rock of greed over here, Father. I can’t budge it. And that tree of guilt near the fence? Its roots are long and deep. And may I show you some dry soil, too crusty for seed?” God’s seed grows better if the soil of the heart is cleared.
define-you
Let your failures refine you, not define you.
sin holy posture
Sin is not an unfortunate slip or a regrettable act; it is a posture of defiance against a holy God.
