Are We Settling for Substitutes?

The great tragedy in modern Christianity is not necessarily error in the church but rather that so few people actually recognize it.  Secular philosophy and cultural sentiments have numbed down the spiritual senses of the saints to such a degree that we have settled for substitutes.  We may not dance around the golden calf, but we’ve come to accept its presence in our midst.

A.W. Tozer said, “So skilled is error at imitating truth that the two are constantly being mistaken for each other.” Lines have disappeared in this post-modern world, at least in terms of spirituality.  We know longer

Confronting and Conquering Pride

Pride is an ironic altar where those who are consumed with glory bow down to themselves.  It is there the parishioner trades his sacrifice, his humility, his service for a pompous seat upon a throne –one engraved with the intricacies of arrogance and conceit.

Ironic indeed.  For at this shrine, the god and the worshiper are one and the same.  Pride is idolatry in its purest form.  Pride is the love of self, the embrace of “all things you.”  Benjamin Franklin said, “There is perhaps not one of our natural passions so hard to subdue as pride.

Intention: The True Measure of our Service

Intention is the heartbeat of the Christian life. Our motive in serving Christ is equally, if not more so, important than the actual service. It is possible for the unregenerate man to perform the same external duties and operate in the same peripheral fashion as the saved. It is also possible for the backslidden individual to so calibrate his life that he runs at the same speed with the zealous. The difference, however, in their service and performance is motivation. What is the intention, the aim, the overarching drive behind the service? When you discover that answer you will discover …

Your Affliction and His Authority

Have you ever noticed the various ways Jesus engaged those who came to Him with afflictions?  Sometimes Jesus touched the frail bodies of the diseased.  Other times He simply spoke a Word of rebuke to the unclean spirits.  Still other times, He only gave a word of promise.  Once, He actually spit on the ground and made clay to press upon the eyes of the blind.

My point is simple: Christ worked in a variety of ways depending on the person’s faith and ailment.  He didn’t do things the exact way every time.  There wasn’t a cookie-cutter answer for every …

Walking in True Holiness

We tend to think of holiness as a “starchy starkness” from the world.  Holiness is the absence of secular thought and things, we contend.  Therefore, if we stay away from such insidious and polluting notions we are, by default, holy.  This concept of holiness may very well keep you out of the court room, but it will not guarantee you a place at the throne room.  The idea of holiness cannot just be “separation from,” it must also be “separation to.”

Are You Running From or Running To?

A holy life is not just separation from worldly things, it is …

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
