Ep 48 Don't Pretend to Love, Ro 12:9 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Having just encouraged us to fulfill God's call on our lives (Ro 12:1-8), Paul immediately turns to address the quality of our relationships because if we can't work together harmoniously, everything he has just taught us falls apart. Yes, each of us must discover our calling, and yes, we need to pursue the full dimension of God's plan, but if we don't learn how to get along with each other, none of it matters. Love really is the highest quality (1Co 13:1-3,13). In the remaining chapters of this
Ep 47 Renewing the Mind, Ro 12:2-8 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It takes time and serious exposure to the Word of God to change the way we think. It also requires a new skill: the ability to listen to the Holy Spirit. We usually come to Christ with some pretty deep programming. Old values, perspectives and attitudes don't just fall away overnight. In fact, some appear to remain with us the rest of our lives and become familiar enemies we have to diligently put aside over and over again. One such enemy which affects us all in one way or another is pride. It c
Ep 46 The Worshipful Heart, Ro 12:1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul urgently appeals to every believer who understands the mercy we have received from God, to respond by completely devoting themselves to His service. This, he says, is the only appropriate way to thank Him. We surrender our lives to Him as completely as if we had placed our bodies on an altar like an animal about to be sacrificed, only in our case we are not there to be slaughtered but rather recruited into His service (Ro 14:7; 1 Co 6:19,20; 2Co 5:15). He compares this offering of ourselves
Ep 45 Hearing God's Call, Ro 11:29 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When God calls us to salvation, He also summons us to serve Him. The great task of winning lost people is simply too urgent to allow anyone to sit on the sideline and watch. Jesus shows us God's view of this situation when He says, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech (ask, beg) the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest" (Mt 9:37,38). He's telling us there are lots of people who are searching for God but who don't know how to be saved. He says
Ep 44 The Next Revival, Ro 7:24-8:17 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What is a revival? It's a move of God which draws people to Himself with such power that it cannot be explained by human activity. What's taking place is not the result of some well-run ministry. Past revivals saw large numbers of people return to the faith in which they were raised; they came back to the Christianity they had rebelled against or ignored. But today the situation in America is different-much of the nation has lost its respect tor the church. Christians are generally viewed as sel
