Wednesday 27th September 2023

Fear or Faith

Monday 25th September 2023

Hope – A Gift of God

Love Never Fails

Tuesday 19th September 2023

Someone once said that as old as the human race is, you would think we would have learned to love one another by now. Isn’t that odd since “I love you,” are the three most powerful words we can hear?

The Greatest of These is Love

Monday 18th September 2023

Thy Will Be Done

Friday 15th September 2023

Christian Credentials

Wednesday 13th September 2023

A Sure Foundation

Tuesday 12th September 2023

Moral values and absolutes are not fashionable today but moral relativism is. Yet, when we think about foundations words such as “concrete” and “bedrock” come to mind. Upon what foundations is your life based?

Christianity — What’s In It For Me?

Monday 11th September 2023

The greatest concern on the typical North American mind is “What’s in it for me?” Why should we be Christians? Jesus’ disciples wanted to know the answer to that very same question. Jesus’ answer is still relevant for us today.

What Is the Kingdom of God?

Friday 8th September 2023

Jesus preached about the kingdom of God continuously, but what is it? Is it solely a future time or is the kingdom already here and we’ve not discovered it.

Changing Course

Thursday 7th September 2023

The ship of our life is much like the Titanic — we’re heading for an iceberg — metaphorically the end of our lives. But there is an out — the good news is that Jesus offers us eternal life. Wouldn’t it make sense to change course?

To Watch or To Worship

Wednesday 6th September 2023

Many Christians are far more comfortable detached and observing; “watching” rather than “worshiping.” How do you respond to our Lord and Savior? Are you a “watcher” or a “worshiper”?

Like Little Children

Tuesday 5th September 2023

Jesus tells us that we need to become like little children to inherit the kingdom of God. The Bible also tells us about a time of peace when a little child will lead ferocious animals. What characteristics of little children can we learn from them?

The Message of Revelation

The Problem is Us

Wednesday 30th August 2023

God Is!

Tuesday 29th August 2023

Grace Doesn’t Make Sense

Monday 28th August 2023

Who Is Jesus? Part 2

Friday 25th August 2023

Some years ago, a popular song asked the question “What if God Was One of Us?” Think about it — what if God knew what it was like to be betrayed, lonely, hungry, suffering and discouraged? It’s true — God has become one of us and he knows what its like!

Who Is Jesus? Part 1

Thursday 24th August 2023

Life Keeps Coming and Life is Hard

Wednesday 23rd August 2023

Fool’s Gold

Tuesday 22nd August 2023
Christ-less religion is fool’s gold, it glitters, giving false promises of wisdom, righteousness and power – but all that glitters is not gold.

Loving God More Than Entitlements

Monday 21st August 2023
Loving God and loving one’s neighbor as oneself is the heart and core of the life that Jesus produces in those in whom he lives, removing one’s focus from self-absorption to service of others in Jesus’ name.

 

Snake-in-the-Grass Spiritual Narcissism

Friday 18th August 2023
Few sins are as problematic and deeply rooted as the big lie that one’s constant attention to one’s own spiritual welfare will result in God’s favor and pleasure.  Spiritual Narcissism is toxic condition that results in one’s efforts to make oneself better resulting in a ever worsening spiritual state.

Out-of-Control Grace

Monday 14th August 2023

If anyone ever had the right to be a control freak with others, it was Jesus — but he turned down that job description.

Faith or Denial?

Friday 11th August 2023

Greg proposes 1) while denial and deception lie at the heart of Christ-less religion, faith in Jesus is not blind, and 2) Christ-centered faith always makes room for doubt, while the dogmas of Christ-less religion allow no place for questions.

Our Passionate Lover

Thursday 10th August 2023

Pain is inevitable in our lives, but, as we see it modeled in the life of Jesus, the suffering of sacrificial love is optional.

What Doesn’t Kill You …

Wednesday 9th August 2023
When viewed through a Christ-centered focus, the saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger - is not about revenge, but rather all about how God enables us not to simply become stronger, but to receive life of the age to come.

 

Grace a Lot or Grace Alone?

Tuesday 8th August 2023

Grace at His Table

Monday 7th August 2023

“Working” for good is far more common than accepting an invitation to a fully paid, no strings attached banquet — but that’s the incredible, too-good-to-be-true invitation God extends.
