Everyone that saw Jesus like this just collapsed at the sight of Him.

Don't become ok with leaving people in bondage because you're too afraid of Jesus' power.

"Live like the Disciples, but don't expect to live like the Apostles. The Disciples were a model for all of us, but the Apostles were for a unique time."

But, weren't the Disciples and the Apostles the same people?

There is still hope for America, but it's not going to be found in a politician, policy, the military or the economy, it's going to be found in humility, repentance and voluntarily turning all the way to Jesus.

How many Christian's are "unequally yoked" with a political party?

It's the way that you feel about people that are different than you that determines whether you are hospitable or not.

I think that the American church needs to go further in developing a Biblical theology of ethnicity and race. Simply saying; "Racism is sin" is not adequate anymore.

What question does the book of Job set out to answer?

Diligent Bible study driven by cynicism and a critical spirit is not noble, and I fear that many Evangelicals have co-opted the legacy of the Bereans as a misapplied proof-text for their cynicism and unbelief. You're not a Berean because you study the Bible. You're a Berean if you study the Bible with expectation.

Does present-day prophetic ministry challenge or undermine the sufficiency of scripture?

Of course not.

Willfully living in known sin, accepting false doctrine and loving worldly things undermined the faith of these six men. If you want to sustain your own vibrant faith in Jesus you will need to avoid these three things at all costs.

If you read the New Testament and it looks nothing like your Christian experience, maybe you're involved in Evangelical syncretism.

Did you know that before the church in Antioch was buzzing with mission activity, it was a hub for prophetic activity?  In fact, most of the prophetic activity in the book of Acts takes place in or around Antioch. Before Antioch had missionaries, it had prophets.

One of the distinctly unique opportunities to apply the Sermon on the Mount is in the use of social media. It's been said that "Facebook is not the real world!", and while I agree with the sentiment, our behavior on social media does have real world repercussions.

If your life is built around comfort you will not have clarity, passion or glory.

In order to blame God for suffering, you must first acknowledge that God exists. Therefore, you cannot blame God and remain an atheist. Atheists must blame mankind for human suffering.

Putting off following Christ could be compared to putting off getting in shape.  The purpose of getting fit is not so that you can look good at your funeral or fit in your coffin.  The purpose of getting in shape is to improve the quality of your life NOW.  The same is true with following Christ.  The purpose of salvation is not simply to save you from a Christ-less eternity in conscious torment, but also to improve the quality of your life NOW.  

Demons have limits! They aren't all-powerful, so they organize. They aren't all-present, so they spread out. They aren't all-knowing, so they must hear in order to submit.
