Because of Christ, I am free to live! First, you have to admit that you are a sinner. Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. 1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

November 5, 2008. There has been much debate in my office this week about how Christians should vote for President. There has been an even greater debate taking place on a national level as well. Some evangelical Christians believe that a Christians vote for Obama would be a resignation of your faith in Christ. I think about what Paul says in Romans. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved". Links to this post. The B...

February 25, 2010. From the inauguration of God’s creation of man and woman to the conception of the 21st century; we have all been created for the same purpose. That purpose, as defined by Jesus in John 6.38. Is “to do the will of God.”. Just as it is in football, it is in life. With God as our coach and us as his players; we must execute our assignments according to his specific instructions. Deviation from our assignments could result in consequences that may lead to our loss. 8221; He went on to desc...

March 16, 2010. What do YOU Say? 8220;I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.”. 1 Corinthians 9:27 (NLT). I don’t know about you but I really can’t wait to get my hands on. The only Apple product I have ever purchased was an iPod. Was going to be that answer but I really wanted more than a glorified. The iPad is the poor mans entrance in to a very sophisticated almost elitist type club. That p...

June 24, 2009. The Gift of Presence. The below entry was written by Ben Grice, Admissions Manager, Grand Canyon University. 8216;It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’ –Luke 15:32. Especially when even a lowly goat wasn’t offered to celebrate the stay-at-home son and his friends? I know I have and often do. It’s a good, albeit tough, question to ask. Links to this post. June 17, 2009. Needed money. For the most part his gestu...

January 28, 2010. 8220;That is why the Lord says, “Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning.” Joel 2.12. I will never forget the first occasion I had the privilege of speaking to a congregation of people where the average age was over 16 years old. It was a Sunday night at the church I grew up in,. Faith Assembly of God. 8217; and get off the stage. No one has time to listen to you ramble all night.”. At the time I didn’t feel her advice was...

July 31, 2009. 8220;I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” Mark 10:15 (NLT). A few days ago I was watching television with my daughter and while channel surfing the Nickelodeon show. Caught my daughter’s attention. As the opening credits rolled and. While I was watching my daughter dance in circles without a care in the world she reminded me what acting like a child looks like. I began to consider what Jesus said to a bunch of adults in.

April 28, 2010. One Cross Fits All. 8220;So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life -your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life - and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking.”. Romans 12.1-2a {Message}. My wife and I were terribly embarrassed; all we could do was apologize over and over again.

October 7, 2009. This entry was written by Ben T. Grice,. I had the privilege of attending what many are calling the greatest Monday Night Football game in the program’s 40-year history. For those who don’t get into sports, or don’t have a TV, or have been living under a rock(! All to Jesus,. My blessed Savior,. It begs the question: Would I do likewise? When the world and its matters clamor loudest for my undivided attention, am I willing, like these particular players were, to surrender them before God...

October 22, 2007. Some of you are accustomed to receiving my occasional rambling on issues that I feel are relevant to ministry leaders and church development. For the most part these ramblings have been birth out of my own convictions or personal struggles but today I hope you all find my thoughts to be more substantiated. This morning I went to the Relevant Magazine website (. As I do most mornings, and read their feature article "What is an Evangelical? Charismatic movement with emphasis on glorious, ...
