Be Filled With The Spirit

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 22:25:19 -0500

There is something inexplicable about why the Holy Spirit works in such a way that this person comes to Christ and that person doesn’t, because it is the Holy Spirit’s task to work in people’s hearts in whatever circumstances will make that appropriate for Him. And He works in all kinds of circumstances that we don’t anticipate that suddenly brings us face to face with the work of God.

Love and Sexual Behavior

Sat, 14 Jan 2012 22:02:07 -0500

Because God created human beings as social beings and as sexual beings and it is not good to be alone, to be isolated. We are made for social friendship and we are made and designed that we should live in a sexual relationship, which is designed to be within marriage.

Grieving The Holy Spirit

Sat, 7 Jan 2012 20:56:13 -0500

I don’t think we can be sure that we are really one of God’s people until we know that inner assurance that the Holy Spirit gives to us, where He sets us apart, marks us off, puts His stamp of ownership and authenticates it with a sealing of the Holy Spirit, which is an experiential awareness that whereas my eyes were blind, now I can see; where I was dead, I am alive.

Why People Behave As They Do

Sun, 1 Jan 2012 07:40:56 -0500

Their darkened understanding and their futile thinking and their ignorance is based on the fact they do not possess spiritual life, which is the life of God from which they have become separated. They are separated from the life of God because the capacity to understand spiritual truth is dependent upon spiritual life.

Are You The One Who Was To Come?

Sun, 25 Dec 2011 06:16:19 -0500

In the heart of every human being we are searching for the One that will make life make sense, the One that will put all the pieces of the jigsaw together and give us a picture that has meaning and purpose and direction. We are all searching. We search in a multitude of places; we search in a multitude of ways; but we are searching.

Growing Up Into Christ, The Head

Sat, 17 Dec 2011 21:05:34 -0500

You can turn on Christian television programs and hear biblical distortions of truth taught with confidence. And sadly, people are deceived, especially in the popular, materialistic doctrines that include prosperity and physical well-being, which are partially true in one sense but not the gospel, not the message.

How A Healthy Church Grows

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 19:59:22 -0500

And so those of us who are in the position of teaching or in leadership roles, our job is this and this alone: to so expound the Word of God in dependence upon the Holy Spirit that the result is that people are moved more fully on to God’s agenda for them, that they more fully grasp and are excited by the good works that God prepared in advance for them to do, that they engage in the works of service that God has planned for them.

Unity, Diversity, and Community

Sun, 4 Dec 2011 06:02:35 -0500

You see, having distinguished ourselves sufficiently, we begin to separate from everybody else and we get down to our little narrow identity and we say we have wonderful unity. But actually it is not unity; it is simply uniformity and the very act of such has created disunity in the actual body of Christ.
