Living the Godly Lifestyle

“How can we turn our knowledge about God into knowledge of God? The rule for doing this is simple but demanding. It is that we turn each Truth that we learn about God into matter for meditation before God, leading to prayer and praise to God.” J.I. Packer. Romans 12:1-2 NLT And so, dear brothers … Continue reading Living the Godly Lifestyle

Knowing God Brings Change

It should be the desire of everyone on planet earth to know God. J. I Packer states: “There's a difference between knowing God and knowing about God.

Living Without Knowledge of God

"Interest in theology and the capacity to talk well on Christian themes, is not at all the same thing as knowing God." J.I. Packer Titus 1:15-16 NLT Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted. Such people … Continue reading Living Without Knowledge of God

Knowing God or Knowing About God

People today claim to know God. Gallup polling shows that 74% to 81% of American adults say they believe in God.

The Message of Reconciliation

“God’s plan for enlarging his kingdom is so simple — one person telling another about the Savior. Yet we’re busy and full of excuses. Just remember, someone’s eternal destiny is at stake. The joy you’ll have when you meet that person in heaven will far exceed any discomfort you felt in sharing the gospel.”  Charles Stanley. Philemon … Continue reading The Message of Reconciliation

The Power of Sharing Your Faith

Children are the next generation of leaders, yet they are often overlooked. They notice what adults miss, and their insight can become a life-changing force in the lives of others. While adults may judge people and situations, children often respond simply to the needs they see.  In 2 Kings 5, we meet a young girl … Continue reading The Power of Sharing Your Faith

Be a Bridge: Serve Others!

“God wants to use you right where you are. Every day you probably come in contact with people who will never enter a church, or talk with a pastor, or open a Bible—and God wants to use you to point them to Christ. You may be the ‘bridge’ God would use to bring them to … Continue reading Be a Bridge: Serve Others!

Work on Your Assist!

Greatness! People everywhere strive for it, and we are often hesitant to take on work that seems insignificant.

He clearly had a heart that … Continue reading Work on Your Assist!
