The fruit is what really matters, not how gnarly or beautiful the apple tree is.

The idea that this world is a playground instead of a battleground has now been accepted in practice by the vast majority of Christians... The 'worship' growing out of such a view of life is as far off center as the view itself - a sort of sanctified nightclub without the champagne and the dressed-up drunks.

Jesus our Lord is Prophet, Priest, and King. The concept is not new, yet many preachers never preach it, and many congregations never hear it.

We are vengeful. God is forgiving. We remember. God redeems.

Shall it be a religion or shall it be Christ? Shall it be churchianity or shall it be Jesus Christ? Shall it be pride or shall it be humility in Jesus Christ?

Any sermon that is not birthed in prayer is not a message from God no matter how learned the preacher.

We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit.
