I learned something awesome last weekend. I was prepping for my message on Eph 4:30 and “grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” I discovered that “grieve” is truly beautiful. Consider Webster’s 1828 definition: “GRIEVE, verb transitive [Latin gravo, from gravis.] 1. To give pain of... Continue Reading →
2nd Cor.2:11] Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. Satan sought after “advantage” over the help-meet of God in the beginning and since then, he has sought to attack and usurp the power of God from the man.

“My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people don't know.” (From ‘A Study in Scarlet’). Today is Sherlock Holmes Day! I’m a huge Sherlock Holmes fan!

Warning: I’m just thinking out loud. I do that sometimes. I’m not sure I have all the answers to the questions I’m about to raise, but I can say with conviction that the traditional views on the chronology of Passion Week do not pass the sniff test. What we’re going to cover does not affect... Continue Reading →
2nd Cor.5:14] For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: [15] And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 1st Peter 4:2] That he...

Let us describe the method for a woman to function consistently as who she is in Christ, negotiating life’s challenges, adjusting, and living resurrection life to live Ephesians. Basically, it is knowing, dwelling, and imple-menting the sanctification process of Romans 6-8 to be holy unto God and acceptable. Then we are to walk by faith... Continue Reading →
One night, I purchased an e-book called Faith Forward CEO’s put out by the Barna Research Group, which was about how faith influences leadership styles of Christian executives.
