    One Benefit of Living in Love

    The Bible challenges us to love each other. However, God doesn’t just command us to go and love each other. He certainly could, but He doesn’t just command it. He also tells us specific blessings that come with living by that love by which He has directed us to live. I want to focus on…

    Study the Bible. You Can Do It

    Far too many people freeze up when we talk about studying the Bible. There is a fear that the Bible is too complicated or too deep for the average person to study it. There is a problem with this fear: the Bible says that it is good for everyone! So, if the Bible is for…

    Trust the Bible

    The words of the LORD are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times. – Psalm 12:6   Sometimes, I think that we run from criticism about our faith.  We don’t want to sound foolish, or we are afraid of ‘gotcha’ arguments.  We are afraid if we are questioned that…

  • Just Adore God

    Just Adore God

    When we talk about why we are on the earth, the answers are usually us centered.  We speak of finding fulfillment and purpose.  We speak of God having a wonderful plan for our lives.  Can you imagine doing that with any other friend (and keeping them)?  I can just imagine…Josh asks Kevin why he is friends with…

    A God-Sized Life

    In Acts 4 we read this incredible thing: 32 And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but all things were common property to them. 33 And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of…

    At Calvary – Episode 125 – By Grace We Are Saved

    Grace. Love. Faith. Although not every short word is deep with meaning, these are words that are full of meaning. When it comes to grace, we are talking about a profound meaning. However, for the grace of God to have real significance to us it cannot be just an idea. We must let it be…

    God’s Love… Our Love

    The word “love” is a good word. It makes us feel warm inside. However, there is an aspect to God’s love that challenges us. His love challenges who we love. His love challenges how we love. For God “love” means more than we might yet understand. 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘AN…

    At Calvary – Episode 124 – How Much Holiness is Too Much?

    “That man is so Heavenly minded that he is of no earthly good.”? The quote is a warning of sorts. It is a warning against a type of religion that makes a person disconnected from the real problems and struggles of everyday life. Sometimes, it is a warning about unplugging from this life because a…
