In this morning’s Bible reading, part of my time was spent reading 2 Corinthians 4, where Paul shares how he doesn’t lose heart in serving the Lord. Very needed words for all of us as discouragement is a very real battle. However, I noticed something else in this chapter: how to respond to those whoContinue reading “It’s Time to Double Down”

An Acts 11:24 Leader
“Lord, help me to be an Acts 11:24 man.” That was the prayer of my late, dear friend Emerson Lyle. Honestly, I didn’t know the verse, so I had to look it up… “for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added toContinue reading “An Acts 11:24 Leader”
Is This the End of the World?
“Pastor, is what is happening in Iran part of Bible prophecy about the end?” “Pastor, is this the beginning of the end of the world?” Recent days have seen yet another war in the Middle East.

The Truth in Love Space
The church is to operate in the “truth in love” space. Scripture is clear in this regard…. “but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,” (Ephesians 4:15, NASB95) What does this look like? What are the challenges in today’s world? ContinueContinue reading “The Truth in Love Space”
NO Volatility
One word describes the last five years well…VOLATILE. Five years ago we were in the middle of the COVID lockdowns and tensions were at a boiling point. Today, everyone is watching their 401K balance go down and talking about a subject most only know from history class: tariffs. In the last five years, we haveContinue reading “NO Volatility”
