Waiting on the Lord

Wack!  In one swift moment, Moses, yes, the faithful Moses who was privy to the Lord Almighty’s voice and direct authority, struck the rock twice with his rod. In one intuitive move, the son of the first King of Israel snuck out to the Philistines’ garrison without Saul’s knowledge and approval.  Jonathan expressed to his armor bearer, “…It may be that the Lord will work for us.  For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few.”  Jonathan continued on by stating, “…Very well, let us cross over to these men, and we will show ourselves to them.  […]

Do you stay awake at night considering God’s design for His church? If your answer is no, then you are not alone.  Rarely are these questions entertained in private let alone public discussion.  The reality is, most members and attenders of area churches do not have the ecclesiastical structure of their church at the top of their priority list. The Protestant Church in America has a history of independent church leadership and overarching polity which serve as counter balances to each other.  We tend to have some formal structure to leadership that may mirror corporate organizational charts.  At the same […]

Have you ever been in a season of your life where nothing seemed to be going right? Job, a man of God in the Bible, experienced a situation like this. He lost everything he owned in one day, including all of his children and most of his servants. Then he was plagued with open sores from the top of his head to the soles of his feet (Job 1, 2:1-10). I am sure he was tempted to get upset with God, throw in the towel and just give up. Over the past couple of weeks, I had my own set […]

     Do you find yourself depending on the world’s wisdom or God’s wisdom when it comes to financial advice? God’s Word is true, timeless, universal, transcendent and completely practical.

This is especially true with the constant barrage of worldly advice urging us to use debt to “get ahead”. Christians need to carefully study what the Bible has to say about debt. Though God’s word is certainly not a financial textbook, it does offer clear guidelines that we can apply to our financial […]
