Truth Revealed
Why it takes two people to communicate the Bible
Accepting Imperfect People
People have a lot of problems. How do you show them the love of God without condoning their sin?
The Enemy of Self
The greatest enemy you face lies within yourself. You will never be able to please God unless you learn these three truths.
Through the Fire
Judah was in trouble. They were exiled to a strange country with a strange language, strange customs, and, most of all, no worship of the true God. They were slaves. They had no rights, and they were stuck for seventy years.
I Have No Man
Somewhere in your neighborhood a helpless person is waiting to be shown the love of Christ. Why should we reach those who have nothing to offer and no one to help them?
The Man Behind the Message
Lot’s message to his sons-in-law was clear and urgent. “Up! Get you out of this place: for the Lord will destroy this city.” His message, however, was not compelling because the messenger was corrupt. The message was fine, but the man was flawed. There is more to the message than the message itself.
Always on Duty
To the early church, soulwinning was not a program but a passion. But as the centuries passed, the passion of the church waned. The Gospel light dimmed. For a long time, most evangelism occurred inside the walls of the church.
Communication in Marriage

A man asked his neighbor to “take care” of his dog while he was away on vacation. The neighbor agreed. When the man returned home, his dog was nowhere to be found. He ran next door to his neighbor and exclaimed, “Where’s my dog?” He received a puzzled look and a response, “I shot him. I thought you said, ‘Take care of him.’” Lack of communication—I wonder how many problems it causes?
Being Spirit Filled
I am convinced more and more that whether we call it being filled with the Spirit, living the crucified life, dying to ourselves, demonstrating grace, or walking in the Spirit, it all comes down to the same thing—relying on the Spirit of God. It is important—no, it is essential—for us to learn to depend on the Holy Spirit, rather than on our own strength.
