The moral compass is a God-given gift to each person (Romans 2:13-15) whether saved or lost. A basic understanding of right and wrong is written on every person’s heart. However, Christians have extra help discerning truth and righteousness that unbelievers do not have. The difference for the...
READ MOREThe best way to reintroduce Christian values into American society is to start with intense and intentional prayer (2 Chronicles 7:14). As we pray, we must also look within our own lives to see where we need to be more like Christ and pursue holiness before trying to tell others how to live and act. Why? Real change doesn’t happen because of...
READ MOREThe first thing Christians should do is to pray for their leaders. God is the One who places authorities in their positions for His purposes. In His sovereignty, God uses leadership, whether good or bad. Therefore, we do not have to agree with our leaders to pray for them; we just need to be obedient to the Lord and lift them up with trusting prayers to the Father (1 Timothy 1:1-3). We should also...
READ MORELiving as a Christian in the culture of today in America can, at times, be a daunting task. Our culture is full of materialism, individualism, and moral relativism. These things clash with the biblical values of a Christian who claims to seek first the kingdom of God (See Matthew 6:33) and the truth of moral absolutes (John 17:17).

READ MOREThe way we begin to live out the Great Commission is by first making sure that our own life is in line with the Savior. Jesus said in John 15:4, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” How do we abide in Christ? By connecting with...
READ MOREThe Bible gives us clear instructions concerning the role of a father. To be a good father, a man’s heart must be in line with the Lord. God the Father is the perfect example to earthly fathers of how to love, care for, protect, and discipline children. Being a good father begins with a man’s relationship...

READ MOREThe word “make” (disciples) in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) is the primary verb of the text. The word “Go” can also be defined as “as you are going.” In other words, as you are walking with Christ in your Christian life, make disciples. As you are living out Christ before others, as you are sharing your faith, make disciples. Jesus never said...
