Love is Simple to Understand But Really Hard to Do.

Without God, Why Should We Be Good?
Ezekiel 8.17 asks, have you seen this, son of man? Is it nothing to the people of Judah that they commit these detestable sins, leading the whole nation into violence, thumbing their noses at Me, and provoking
My anger?
My brother was sharing with me this past weekend about his diversity training class he attended prior to his return to teaching in an inner city school. Perhaps no greater sin currently exists in our culture than racism. (more…)

The Fools Will Win the Culture War
1 Corinthians 3.18 commands we stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world’s
standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise.
The cultural war around us is a war of ideas. The battle lines have been drawn between God and science and between the Bible and public opinion.
The war analogy is meaningful because there is much hostility brewing among those who oppose God and the Bible toward those who believe in God and the Bible. (more…)

What is THE Most Important Thing?
Luke 10.42 observes, there is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and
it will not be taken away from her.
Remember the movie City Slickers? The main subject was that there was just one thing that was really important. God too states that there is only one thing worth being concerned about. Seriously, if we believed that we should be dialed in like those around E.F. Hutton, because when he spoke, people listened!
While my quotes are revealing my age it is also true that God doesn’t make knowing Him or doing His will a mystery or complicated. Those who seek will find, are you looking for the one thing? (more…)

The Heritage of Our Generation
Jeremiah 16.19 records, Our ancestors left us a foolish heritage, for they worshiped worthless idols.
Every parent hopes to leave a heritage to their children that helps them live better, stronger, freer than they themselves experienced in their youth. Our parents and grand parents certainly achieved this goal in education and economics for us. (more…)

What Cost For Change Will We Pay?
Acts 5.41 observes, the apostles left the high council rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to
suffer disgrace for the name of Jesus.
When the Church started it was considered a badge of honor to suffer for being a Christian. Today, we cower at being maligned for Jesus’ sake.
This fear of man has become greater than our fear of God with the result that most have not heard from Christians that all people must repent and be born again if they are to enter into eternal life. (more…)

Obeying God Means Loving People
Matthew 22.39 records God answering the question about which command is most important. His
answer is unbelievable: A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.
Most of us envision God as a bit of an egotist. He wants to be worshiped by everyone, all the time. That’s what we would want if we were God.
While the One True God seeks worshipers, His first desire is to be loved. (more…)

We Can’t Demand God Prove Himself; He Already Has
Matthew 16.4 observes, only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign, but the
only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah.
People always want God to prove Himself. God always wants people to demonstrate faith in Him. These two demands are in conflict with one another.
No matter what God has done for us its never enough. Yesterday is gone and today there is a new crisis for which we seek God to do something lest we fall away. (more…)

The Value of Religious Activities
Matthew 15.11 defines, it’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.
The Muslims are wrapping up their holy week most characterized by fasting from sunup until sundown. Fasting has been used by religious people of all stripes from all time as a means to appease the gods and or garner their attention.
Christians have used fasting historically not so much for these purposes but to discipline the flesh so that we obey the Spirit. (more…)

Christians and Muslims Wage War Differently
Deuteronomy 33.11 asks, bless the ministry of the Levites, O LORD, and accept all the work of their hands. Hit their enemies where it hurts the most; strike down their foes so they never rise again.
The Bible uses the language of war to describe the brokenness between man and God and man with man. War is necessary sometimes because of our refusal to love one another.
We needed to go to war against Hitler or his maniacal murderous schemes would have destroyed the world. We need to go to war against Islam since it refuses to exist as a religion of peace. Police need to go to war against criminals. (more…)
