The Crisis of a Christless Christianity
“As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him… beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And you are complete [...]
Churchianity Today
We must always be sure to distinguish between the Lord’s invisible, universal, spiritual Church (the Ecclesia) and the non-profit religious organization that meets in a building with a steeple on top. The difference is incalculable, and we dare not make the mistake of confusing the two. Please understand that we do not question the right [...]
Bring Them to Christ
The goal of all Spirit-led ministry is to bring people to Christ. Allow me to break this statement down and explain what I mean.
If we aim for nothing we will reach nothing. Some Christian workers speak of a goal, some of a vision, some of a calling, some of a burden. Whatever phraseology you wish [...]
A Convenient Cult
“Therefore the king asked advice, made two calves of gold, and said to the people, ‘It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up from the land of Egypt!’” (I Kings 12:28).
So begins the sad testimony of Israel’s fall from being a holy [...]
A Place for the Lord
“Foxes have their dens, and birds have their nests; but the Son of Man has no where to lay His head (Matthew 8:20).”
How may we prepare a place for the Lord Jesus? What is He searching for? Where is the place of His rest? Many of us have traveled “outside the camp” in search of [...]
Victory Is A Man
Everyone who looks does not see. Everyone who hears does not listen. What are we looking for? What is it that we need to see? What would God reveal to us? There is but one desire of God for us, and that is that we may see Christ. God does not reveal one hundred, one [...]
Trust In My Life
I am learning more and more the necessity of letting God have His Way with me. That is not to say I allow Him to live through me at all times as I should. Would that I would so yield, at all times, and without fail. But in the instances where I have allowed Him [...]
Touching the Living Christ
“And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all” (Luke 6:19).
“And now, little children, abide in Him” (I John 2:28a).
How do we touch the living Christ? The answer to this question depends entirely upon our relationship to Jesus. If we are part of the [...]
The Strength of Seeing
“And when the servant of [Elisha] was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, ‘Alas, my master! How shall we do?’ And he answered, ‘Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that [...]
Revelation Is Sufficient
One characteristic of the last days is people will run to and fro and knowledge will be increased (Daniel 12:4). They will be ever learning, but in spite of this abundance of knowledge they will never come to a realization of the truth (II Timothy 3:7). The accumulation of knowledge in the Information Age is [...]
