Definitely Dead?

As Easter approaches we need to ponder an issue that goes beyond apologetics.  Did Jesus definitely die?  Did Jesus definitely rise from the dead?  Absolutely – two critical facts of history.  But I want to ponder a spiritual truth that seems to have gripped Paul.  When Christ died, I died.  Really? Yesterday I was able …

Jeremiah’s Complaint

Old Is Not Always Better

Yesterday evening I listened to a friend preaching very effectively on the subject of greed.  I join him in feeling convicted about the desire to always have the newest computer, the latest mobile phone, the most up-to-date technology.  It is so easy to be rich toward fashion, but not to be rich toward God.
