One of the most important ingredients in marriage is forgiveness. I read on Pinterest, which is renowned for both its wisdom and accuracy, that a good marriage is made of two good forgivers. Few things are more true than that statement. Inevitably, you will fail each other. You will sin against one another. So, if your husband/wife sins against you ...

"No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything." 2 Timothy 2:4-6 I've ...

The second half of a sermon preached by Spurgeon on Lord's-day Morning, March 24th, 1866. He addressed two types of people in the sermon. The first group he called "THOSE WHO ARE AVOWEDLY DISOBEDIENT TO GOD" and the second group he called "THE DECEPTIVELY SUBMISSIVE." This is well worth the read. I pray it challenge you. Here is the text of his s ...

I had made a brief comment in this post a while back that our fuel for evangelism is the holiness of God. I was talking with my pastor a while back about his trip to the Together For The Gospel conference and he mentioned that I needed to listen to David Platt's message on missions. He said that it was the best missions message he'd ever heard. Tha ...

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” And he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?” And they said to him, “Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.” Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. ...

"praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought ...

Have you ever been in a room with a friend and forgot to pay attention to her? You are aware she is talking, but you are not listening. Perhaps you are staring over her shoulder out the window and pondering the contents of the package that was just delivered to your neighbor across the street. At some point or another, we have all been guilty of th ...

We look out upon a pagan nation, or even at the lives of our unregenerate neighbors, and think of the impossibilities of the mission of the gospel, yet we sit at the dinner table and open His word to heartily take up the pursuit of grasping His holiness as if grasping the fullness of it were mere childs play. It is our lack of understanding of the ...

If a man divorces his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's wife, will he return to her? Would not that land be greatly polluted? You have played the whore with many lovers; and would you return to me? declares the LORD. Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see! Where have you not been ravished? By the waysides you have sat awa ...

One day we will all die and stand in judgment before God. "And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment," -Hebrews 9:27. On that day, what will you trust in? Christ or Works? Last night while out sharing the gospel, I was able to speak with two men...Juan and Luis. Shortly into our conversation, it was cl ...

This afternoon, I received a phone call from Chad, a dear brother in the Lord. Chad told me about his visit from a group of Jehovah's Witnesses today, and the dynamic conversation he shared with one of them. Chad evangelizes with FFC regularly, and handled this encounter with finesse in a manner that is Biblical, informed, and appropriate. Our con ...

We had a great night tonight doing evangelism in the local town I live in. Justin, Chad, Allan, Eric, Brad, his wife Cynthia, their children Kayla and Stewart joined Stephanie and I to share Christ with anyone who would listen. God has so richly heard my prayers of bringing other Christians our way to join arm in arm to reach the lost with the gos ...
