Magnificently Humanistic yet Woefully Christian?
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised the third day in accordance with the Scriptures... ---1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Typhoons On the 26th of September, just a full day after Typhoon Ondoy (International name Ketsana) made land fall on the Philippines, Metro Manila and neighboring cities were instantly ravaged by ridiculously ...

Count Your Life of No Value for the Sake of Christ!
Awakening a Sense of Christ’s Value My desire and prayer for you is that your life and ministry have a radical flavor. I say that for the glory of Christ. The world does not glorify Jesus as their supreme Treasure because of our health, wealth, and prosperity. Those are the same treasures they live for. The fact that we use Jesus to get what they want makes it clear to them that we have the same ...

How Comfortable is Your Christianity?
Is the Christianity of our day of the lofty kind of which apostolic men have left us so bright an example? Is it not feeble, indolent, self-indulgent, second-rate? Is there in it anything of the presentation of ‘living sacrifices’ to God, which is our acceptable and reasonable service? Are we not seeking our own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s? Are we not feasting when the world is starving? Are we not at ease ...

I’m Ashamed of How Weak & Faithless I Truly Am
In my most honest of moments... I'm absolutely ashamed of how weak and faithless I truly am... That's what I told myself after I watched the video below. As our family is going through a season of affliction, as I am going through a season of affliction... I realized what a poor pitiful spiritual loser I really am. What detestable unbelief is this that lies in the human heart. We pay lip-service to the sovereignty of God in ...

Is Your Zeal About Things According to God’s Mind?
If zeal is true it will be a zeal about things according to God’s mind, and sanctioned by clear examples in God’s Word. Take, for example, that highest and best kind of zeal-I mean zeal for our own growth in personal holiness. Such zeal will make a man continually feel that sin is the mightiest of all evils, and conformity to Christ the greatest of all blessings. It will make him feel that ...

Is Your Zeal Man Centered or God Centered?
When is a man truly zealous in Christianity? If zeal is true, it will be a zeal according to knowledge. It must not be a blind, ignorant zeal. It must be a calm, reasonable, intelligent principle, which can show the warrant of Scripture for every step it takes. The unconverted Jews had zeal. Paul says, ...

A Christian Should Not be Anything but Zealous!
Zeal in Christianity is a burning desire to please God, to do His will, and to advance His glory in the world in every possible way. It is a desire, which is not natural to men or women. It is a desire which the Spirit puts in the heart of every believer when they are ...

While I Live, to Live as Radically as I Can!
“In 1983, the Sudan (Africa) was declared an Islamic republic. At that time, Islamic Sharia law was imposed on all the country’s citizens. Since then, dozens of Christian pastors have been killed and countless Christian churches burned. “This past March 27 and 28, according to a 33 page report filed by Khartoum University professors, Drs. Ushari Abmad Mahmud and Suleyman Ali Baldo (both Muslims), more than 1000 Dinka men, women and children were slaughtered and burned ...

To Give Away a Car, a Home, a Tithe is a Small Thing
I want to talk to you, [young person]. You've learned doctrines of sovereign grace. You read the puritans, congratulations. I will not lose sleep tonight because people in the world lack self esteem. I will not lose sleep tonight because they're not having their best life now, or they're not being all they can be, or their check book is not balanced. I will lose sleep tonight if I lose sleep tonight because men will stand naked ...
