Captivated by Christ

• A Celebratory Dinner and a Sobering Suicide February 22, 2012
  Some have said that suicide is the ultimate selfish act. I know from my own studies and ministry that those who take their own lives really don’t want to die. They just don’t want to live anymore and death is the lesser of the 2 painful and hopeless realities. So they look outward and turn inward and don’t find enough reasons to keep on living. Could anythin […]

• From Duty to Delight February 20, 2012
  Jesus was sent for us to delight in (Luke 1:14). So God is basically saying to His children, “Delight in Me.” As I intently focus on all that God is and all that He is to me, I find delight. I stop looking at my faith as a burden. I stop thinking about myself. As I gaze, ponder, magnify, adore, and extol the Lord’s infinite worth, I am filled with delight fo […]

• From MEGADETH to MEGALife? February 19, 2012
  Although I don’t really know anything about MEGADEATH’s music or lyrics (not my genre), I’m prone to believe it wasn’t totally family friendly. Nonetheless, I’m convinced that even the worst of sinners (that would include me and the Apostle Paul) can come know new, exciting existence in Christ. After all, those who have embraced Jesus know that it’s not abou […]

• Application to date my daughter February 18, 2012
  Reblogged from A cord of 3 strands: Funny and, for many, will hit close to home. You know, I’d never even get an interview to date this guy’s daughter!

• Languages: Scattered and United for God’s Glory February 16, 2012
  The Bible is a narrative and must be read and studied that way. The stories of the Old Testament are not isolated but are critical components in Scripture’s redemptive drama. The account of Babel is but one example of how God, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, moved these prophets and writers to share things which, on the surface, seem somewhat tri […]

• Godly Conviction versus Toxic Guilt February 14, 2012
  I’m constantly amazed at the number of professing believers mired in a pit of toxic guilt. Rather than accepting the Spirit’s leading with joy, they become despondent and defeated, wallowing in past mistakes and the sins which cause them to experience little motivation to serve the kingdom. We must understand that while the Holy Spirit does convict us of sin […]

• Prominent Charismatic Pastor Coronated as “King” February 12, 2012
  Unfortunately, the ignorance of the numerous professing followers of Christ has kept some from seeing what a travesty this is. Way too many have been led to believe a false gospel, taught by false teachers, and have had their faith shipwrecked in the process.

• “I’m an alchoholic!” February 10, 2012
  Then … BAM!!! He slammed the podium with his fist and screamed a curse. “What are you laughing at?” he demanded, “I’m an alcoholic!” Immediately the laughter ceased. The room became utterly still; the silence deafened. As the young man returned to his seat without further comment, his point was clear: Why do people laugh at tragedy and shameful topics? Why d […]

• Bible-thumping Banned on Bourbon Street February 8, 2012
  Bourbon Street is similar to observing a hedonistic car crash – even the purest of heart have difficulties keeping their gaze from the titillating and ostentatious sinfulness and drunken revelry. And the air reeks of the musty, evil odor of voodoo shops, “adult” venues, and alcohol induced vomit.

• Do You Know that You Know? February 6, 2012
  I am praying for Perry. I pray that Perry knows that he knows that Jesus is His and Jesus has him – now and forever. And I pray that one day I will see him in Heaven and we can talk about how wonderful Jesus is…and that bumpy flight between Nashville and Dallas. The one, I hope, where he began his pilgrimage from doubt to assurance.
