BEYOND ‘SUNDAY JESUS.’

Jesus’ private conference/retreat with his disciples about himself in the famous gospel Matthew 16 is not just a theological or philosophical debate, but a means of experiencing and living God’s Redemption At Christ Expense (GRACE). The question Jesus asked his disciples resonates with us today as a key point to God’s plan for our salvation and hope of eternal life.  It is beyond the ‘Sunday Jesus’ experience and routine of singing and talking for one or two hours.  Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do you say I am?” The common view and response by the disciples was that Jesus...

WHY YOUNG CONVERTS DO NOT COME

  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age (Matt 28:19-20) A major danger of a declining church is the ability to thwart Christ’s purpose, and to make it both impossible and undesirable that God should add to us souls for whom He has died. It is a solemn thing to feel that we may clog Christ’s chariot-wheels, that...
