We are fortunate that our head of church security is also one of our service deacons. Our congregation trusts him and our team, knowing they are there to keep things from harming anyone or distracting from worship and hearing the Word.

As part of the Adult Sunday School class on apologetics I am leading, there are often a blend of passages from both testaments. Today also happens to include a strong request to read entire passages I allude to. (Today we are covering “Christian Gnosticism,” and there is a mention of Andy Stanley’s “unhitching” from the OT.)
The OT is so worth it. Read it.

This Sunday at Church: Praying for those who are depressed
Here is a 9-year-old post that bears repeating.
Here is keeping it simple: I will just post a quick thought on a topic. Nothing else.
This week’s topic:
The Gospel
The Gospel is that God has a perfect standard that no person has ever been able to perfectly meet. We are all guilty of breaking this standard, of sinning, and there was no way we could ever fix it. So God came in the person of Jesus of Nazareth to perfectly live by that standard, and then He died. His death brought about the forgiveness we needed for our sins. Three days later, He proved He is God by rising from the dead, and those who believe all of this have the hope of a future resurrection and eternity with Him!
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
1 Corinthians 15:1-3, ESV
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:16
For a long time, I was the only backup for A/V in our church. Thankfully, we have a good team to help with words, media, and sound, but it took time to help our music pastor not have to control things WHILE WORSHIPPING AND LEADING!
I was sick this precious week, and I was actually not concerned things would be handled. (I watched the livestream, so I can confirm they did well!)
It can be nerve-wracking when the words don’t progress, the sound cuts out, or anything else goes wrong. I am grateful for a congregation that typically checks that the person is okay wrather than jumping to annoyance.

For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Encourage the Media Team. If your church has someone do audio visual matters you should be grateful for them. Not just grateful for them but also thank God for them. Often their job is not noticed by others; until there’s a problem! Suddenly people remember they have […]

Introduction:A lot of people look surprised when they hear that I have a very low opinion of Andy Stanley and his so called “church”. They tell me how much they respected his father Charles Stanley and how he influenced them in one way or the other. When I point out to them what I am […]

For this Sunday here’s what you can do: Pray for Christians in Countries where they get arrested for Evangelism. There’s places in this world where Christian evangelism is specifically prohibited legally by law makers. In such countries it is hard for Christians to evangelize. Yet surprisingly some Christians continue to share the Gospel. This despite […]
