Why do we hesitate, when speaking with unbelievers, to share the good news of what Christ has done for mankind? I believe it’s because we fear rejection. We fear what others will think of us. If asked, we would emphatically say we’re not afraid of people rejecting us if they learn we’re a Christian. Yet we don’t explain the gospel. Why?     Because we fear. Deep inside we fear not being well thought of. We fear being ridiculed, or being considered pushy or senseless or weird. We’re afraid we’ll fall over our words and look like an idiot. We […]

I’ve heard many, many commentaries on love and what Jesus meant when He told us to love one another. Years ago, I wholeheartedly agreed with the idea that love is a decision, not a feeling. The concept that love is expressed more out of choice than emotional sentiment made sense to me. I went along with that until…I got cancer. It was weird how it all happened. One day I found out I might have cancer. The doctors couldn’t tell for sure because the tumor was so small and the needle-like instrument didn’t reveal much. I was newly pregnant so […]

The one thing that separates our faith from the religions of the world is that we serve a God who is personal, a God who calls Himself our Friend and Counselor. We can hear God whispering, “This is the way, walk ye in it.” He says that by His peace He will lead us.

Sometimes He asks us to give up […]

Oswald Chambers calls it self awareness. I think that’s an incredible way to describe it. In the past I’ve called it self focus. Self awareness is like self consciousness, but it goes beyond that. It’s simply being concerned on a certain level with ourselves: our plans, our needs, our desires, our sin, our looks, our place in our world, our rights, our hopes, our fears, etc. Self-focused doesn’t describe it as well as self awareness. Being self aware is the more subtle issue. We can be self aware without being totally focused on ourselves. Self awareness robs us of oneness […]

“Why Christianity?” you ask. Before answering I’d like to ask you a question. If you were to die today (you never know if this is your last day on earth) and stand before God and He asked you, “Why should I let you into My heaven?” What would you say? What would be the reason He should let you in? Think about that for a moment and consider your answer before you read anymore. What would your answer be? Now, let me tell you how I would answer that question. “Lord God, I have never done anything in my life good enough to […]
