Throughout the years, we conservative Baptists have tended to shy away from anything that might cause others to wonder if we are really charismatics in disguise. If that’s the case then many of us have disguised our way to listless. This has been to our great detriment. It has caused us to try and live outside the protective and provisional and powerful work of the Holy Spirit. T

There are over 143 million orphans in the world today. Less than a million of them will ever be adopted. The rest are forced to live with feelings of isolation and abandonment. Jesus, however, never does that with His children. We were all spiritual orphans at one time, but we’ve been adopted, and God is our Abba Father. Through His Holy Spirit, Jesus never leaves us abandoned.

Someone has said that “normal” is only a setting on your dryer, not a way to describe life. But in this passage in John 14, Jesus seems to be describing what a normal Christian life looks like. As Watchman Nee pointed out, there is a vast difference between what Jesus refers to as the normal Christian life and what we experience as an average Christian life. When we settle for

If Jesus is preparing His disciples in John 14 for the “new normal” of living life and ministering without His physical presence among them, then His words here are intensely appropriate and applicable for us. We live and minister beyond His physical presence. However, in reality, His presence is ever with us. And it is His presence that gives us power for living.

Today we come to a passage that has made many a Christian raise an eyebrow and wonder if they are doing something wrong in their Christian life or if maybe they have just missed out on something. Here Jesus promises, “Greater works than these will he do.” If you assume that means you will heal the sick, the lame, the blind, the deaf, if you assume that means you will calm the s

In John’s Gospel and in his Book of Revelation, John refers to Jesus as The Word. We would liken it to a nickname. But why call Him that? I think maybe because words are the expressions of our thoughts, and the Book of Hebrews says that Jesus is the true and perfect expression of Who God is. So, if God the Son is the absolute reflection of God the Father, then I know that I can a

Between the economy and potential climate change and the ever-present threat of terrorism, there seem to be fewer and fewer certainties in life. They say the only certainties are death and taxes, but the IRS has rendered even taxes as unreliable. So, where can you find stability? In the Person of Jesus Christ. He never changes; you can always count on Him.

The Psalmist David wrote, “I was glad when they said unto me, ‘Let us go to the House of the Lord.’” We should be glad to be invited, and we should be glad to go. Church attendance is foundationally important for the Christian, and we need to make sure that we are there in the Lord’s House, on the Lord’s Day, with the Lord’s people, hearing form the Lord’s Word. Let

Going to church on Sunday is no longer the norm in America and not even in what was considered the Bible Belt. Fifteen years ago, according to Barna Research, just under half of all American adults claimed to attend church at least once a month – 48%. Early in 2020, that same research showed that number had dropped to 29%, way less than a third. We really don’t need research re

Jesus loves me, this I know / For the Bible tells me so. We learned this song as children. About that same time we learned, For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son. Those lessons need to be taught again and again to each generation. Jesus loves every boy and every girl, and He wants every one of them to be saved!
