Here are some thoughts about following Christ as men. You can use the Categories tab to find blog articles on various topics.
In Matt 6:25-33, Jesus says, essentially, “Don’t be preoccupied with these everyday necessities,” says Jesus, “The Father knows you need them.” Instead, BE PREOCCIPIED with something else. “The matter of greatest importance for you,” says our Lord, “your primary concern and top priority is this: SEEKING THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” The rest of the podcast tries to bring this nebulous, vague concept into sharper focus.
The Christmas season is a great time to sharpen our focus on what OUR everyday mission as Christ-followers IS because we better understand what CHRIST’s mission WAS. This podcast sharpens our understanding of the mission assigned to us by Christ, by looking at the meaning of Isaiah’s prophecy, The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone. This is the second half of the blog article by this title.
sometimes the thought crosses our minds, “Why battle for truth in a world that hates you?" After all, Jesus was clear to his disciples, If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Why bother trying to shape our culture based on arguing for biblical principles? Since the world hates us, why would they listen? Why don’t we just withdraw into our own Christian cocoon, and await Christ’s return? Why fight for spiritual truth in a world that is heading to hell and destruction? This article answers these questions.
