Fathers On the Floor

“The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God” (Galatians 8:16). My youngest son, Chandler, doesn’t care much for sports. His brothers play just about every sport available to them, but Chandler has only tried a few. A few years ago, he decided to play a sport that neither one of …

Teaching Students the Value of the Gospel

A few months ago, I was watching an interview with the cast of the very controversial television show, Preachers of LA, who appeared on a late night talk show. I’d been told each speaker competed in what the host called a “Preach-Off,” in which each of them had 30 seconds to give a sermon or …

A Generous Heart

The generosity of God astounds me! Because of His love, and not by any works I have done, He extended His salvation to me and accepted me into His household. I’m no longer the person I was. Old things have passed away, all things have become new, and I’m now a beloved child of Father …

Not Just an Ordinary Beard: Unity in the Church

The Uncommon Call

On numerous occasions, we see on our university campuses very brilliant young men and women who decide to quit their studies and drop out of school because they feel the call to ministry. There is no doubt among believers today that apostles, pastors, evangelists, youth directors, children’s workers, women’s ministry leaders, etc., are called of …

Setting Ministry Goals

The very idea that we, humanity, will set our own goals for ministry is liberating. In fact, it is rather encouraging—if you want to fail. Okay, that may have sounded a bit harsh, so let me explain. Youth ministry effectiveness is often measured on the pendulum swing of the next and best ideas or in …

The Church and the Arts

“Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; …
