Silver and Gold Have I None
As our church family studies through the Book of Acts together, we come this weekend to the first recorded healing after Pentecost (Acts 3). The man who had been crippled all his life (40+ years) is commanded in Jesus' name to "walk!" The result is more than walking. He leaps for joy and praises God!
P101 - Fighting Sin God's Way
Earlier this week one of the Elders I serve with mentioned Psalm 101:3 as a "fighter verse." It is a verse he used and uses to help believers learn how to do battle against sin.
Radical Together
Several years ago, a little orange book hit the shelves of Christian bookstores. I dare say nobody who read it came away neutral. You either loved it (in a sick, this-hurts-but-I-needed-it-kind-of-way) or you hated it (probably because it hurt and you were not willing to deal with its hard truths).
Evangelism: How the Whole Church Speaks of Jesus
Why has the church over the past decades in the west talked so much about evangelism but done so very little of it? Massive evangelism conferences have been held. Mountains of curricula have been produced. Yet, by and large, most churches I know anything about are not really doing evangelism at all, or very well. Why?

Resolved (Part 2)
A morning news show listed most popular New Year's Resolutions for 2015. Exercise, lose weight, and spend less time on digital devices made the list. Nothing inherently wrong with those. But these from the pen of Jonathan Edwards are better and richer:

Christmas Cheer or Christmas Deception?
Last Sunday we as a church body found ourselves in Genesis 3. We are asking the question, "Why did Jesus come?" And the answer from Genesis 3:15 was "Because of the Promise and Plan of God."
Sin's Surprising
I am a waterfowler. I enjoy seeing ducks swim. I like hearing the whistle of the wind under their cupped wings. I am often struck by the beauty of a flock of Canada Geese in their familiar V-formation. More times than I can count, I have nearly run off the road while gawking at a field full of feeding geese. And I enjoy hunting ducks and geese, and enjoying them later as table fare.
