Living 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). So, clearly, as Christians, we cannot...

America was not founded on Christian values as much as it was biblical values. The Founding Fathers left their prior homes due to government oppression.

The number one way to have a strong family is to make sure each member of the family is in the proper position. Jesus is the most important member of a strong family and must come first to every other member. Next in line are mom and dad. They have their own individual roles as well, but position-wise they are next in line because they are one. (See Ephesians 5:31.) The children come after that and then any extended family. Within these positions are responsibilities for each party.

The 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.

The 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...

Whenever someone is going away and personally pulls you aside to say something, it’s usually pretty important and worth listening to. The Great Commission is just that. It is of the utmost importance and is not only worth listening to but is also worth our obedience. The Great Commission...

The three points of the Great Commission are that, as Christians, we are to make disciples, to baptize, and to teach. Let’s look at these three points from Matthew 28:19-20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.” The first point is...

The Bible doesn’t say anything about celebrating Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day didn’t have its first official celebration until May 10^th, 1908, at an event started by American activist Anna Jarvis.
