On the Playing Field of Life (2 Peter 1:6)

Share a commentThe secret to spiritual growth is usually the thing we least want to hear go back to the fundamentals and stop looking for shortcuts We connect Paul's fruit of the Spirit with Peter's call to make every effort showing how Christian maturity grows where God's provision meets our daily decision to surrender and obey If you've ever felt stuck inconsistent or spiritually numb this is a reset built on Scripture and plain honesty We spend most of our time unpacking one word from Peter godliness Not as a church-only vibe not as religious performance but as bringing the [... more]

What the Early Church Can Teach Us About Generosity with Dr. Darrell Bock

There was not a needy person among them That remarkable statement in Acts describes the early church's generosity The first Christians freely shared what God had entrusted to them so their community's needs were met Their example can sound almost foreign in a culture that prizes independence and personal ownership But according to Dr Darrell Bock Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary DTS the generosity we see in Acts reflects something much deeper than a particular financial system It reveals what happens when people begin to see themselves their possessions and one another differently because [... more]

Avoiding Contamination, Pt. 2

Spiritual pollution and contamination are internal problems, not external ones. The heart is the root of the issue, and it's what comes out of the heart that defiles a person.

Finding Life Through Death (Pt. 2)

The Bible reminds us that our immaterial part is the most important part of us, and that we can be perishing on the outside but flourishing on the inside. Paul's life illustrates this truth, as he bears in his body the dying of the Lord Jesus, and finds that death is working in him, but life in others. He encourages us to exercise ourselves toward godliness, to focus on the inward man, and to serve others, so that our inward man may be renewed day by day. [... more]
