The True Witness

December 17th, 2008

If you are like me, and came to Christ through an evangelical Christian group, you weren’t “saved” long before you were taught about “The Great Commission.”  Along with this comes the encouragement to tell everyone you know about Jesus.  Your experience may have been different, but you are interested in knowing about the Scriptural mandate [...]

A Heavy Indictment

December 12th, 2008

1Jn 3:14-18 AMP  We know that we have passed over out of death into Life by the fact that we love the brethren (our fellow Christians).

Heb 11:6 AMP  But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].

Why In the World…?

December 6th, 2008

What is the point of being a “witness?”  As we seek to be empowered to be witnesses, doing our part to fulfill the commission given by our Lord, this seems to be a good question to ask.  Why in the world do we want to be witnesses? As I was thinking on this very question [...]

A Couple of Good Quotes

December 5th, 2008

Here is a quote from St. Augustine, from his Confessions. “For he loves Thee too little who loves anything together with Thee, which he loves not for Thy sake.” My modern English translation for those of you who may struggle with the old English: “Anyone who loves anything along with You (God), other than for [...]

Live It

December 4th, 2008

As true Christians (people who are being made like Christ), we are called to live it daily, and not merely practice outward religion by going to church services.  We must not talk the talk without walking the walk.  Every year I meet more people who say they are Christians and go to church yet live [...]
