Does Progressive Christianity Line Up with God’s Word?

Last week, I asked a big question: Is Christianity evolving? There are some who think it should. Progressive Christianity is a new movement among some of the mainstream Protestant denominations. In last week’s blog (which I highly recommend you read), I shared what I found about the eight main pillars of the Progressive Christian movement […]

Is Christianity Evolving?

I have a big question for you today. Is Christianity evolving? I mean, does the Bible actually talk about what many refer to today as “Progressive Christianity?” It’s certainly thought-provoking. But what exactly is Progressive Christianity? I’d like to take today and next week to investigate the topic. With me? Let’s start! What Is Progressive […]

Living a Life Repurposed by Love

I've spent the last "many" Mondays sharing with you about social media and the issues plaguing our society with regards to where we find our self-worth and what's holding us back from having the authentic relationships God wants us to have. And while social media may be a fuel for the level of narcissism our culture is experiencing, it certainly isn't the first time this has happened.

The Gift of Tongues—Have They Ceased?

What do you think about the gift of speaking in tongues? Do you believe in it? Do you think it’s for today? In last Thursday’s blog, I began a discussion about the gift of speaking in tongues, and if you haven’t read it yet, I encourage you to give it a quick read-over. There, I […]

Jesus…The Perfect Example for Making Authentic Connections

Jesus was nothing like the superheroes we love and admire today. Historians say He didn’t hang out with the cool kids, the rich, or the powerful. He was the last person anyone would think would be king. At one point, someone scoffed about His hometown, “Has anything good come out of Nazareth?” Nazareth basically had the same reputation as Liverpool before four shaggy-headed musical geniuses made history by sweeping the world with their tunes. But here came Jesus, bursting onto the scene, with a ragtag bunch of guys that no one thought twice about. Like David, He was gathering His own group of “mighty men,” and also like David, He couldn’t have cared less about the optics.

The Gift of Tongues—An Ancient Story or a Gift for Today?

Is speaking in tongues for today? Now, a nonevangelical churchgoer may read that and wonder what on earth I’m talking about. “What do you mean? We always need our tongues.” The confusion is understandable since speaking in tongues is most emphatically not of this earth.

Do You Trust God in the Valley?

Have you ever had a cold that was so bad you felt like you were living in a fog? You just felt horrible, was exhausted, couldn’t do anything, and was beyond miserable—maybe even to the point of despair? So, you do the only thing you can do…sleep. When you wake up, you feel great! The fog is gone, and you’ve regained the clarity that you need to go about your day. It’s as if we’ve been delivered out of that pit of sickness back into life.

Do You Get What You’re Thinking About?

Do you ever catch yourself daydreaming? Of course, you do. We all daydream from time to time. Sometimes, we daydream about the great or fun things we're going to do. Sometimes, we're just wasting time. Other times, our daydreams can be harmful, such as daydreaming about another person's spouse or life or possessions being yours and then dreaming about whatever it takes to make that a reality. It's what morphs into cancel culture, eventually. It's what leads to gossip, slander, and even murder in the Bible.

Has Doubt Crept in and Changed Your Focus?

Have you ever doubted whether or not you did something? Did I turn the oven off? I’m positive I did, but I could be wrong? Did I unplug the iron? Did I lock the front door? You see my point. Sometimes having faith in knowing that something was done, or will be done, is really what we all need.

Exclusive Live Webinar – “How to Help Your Teen Break Free of Social Media Addiction”

While it might not (yet) be considered a clinical addition, many in society can’t go 5 minutes without checking their phone to see how many likes they have for their latest post, or how many comments people have left.

How do we help this next generation deal with the debilitating side effects social media can have on us? In this 90-minute webinar, Pastor Rob will discuss the issue and provide practical ways we can help our teens navigate these formative years in a positive way.
