The Abstract Christ
The most important question I can ask a Christian is this: “Is Jesus alive in you, or does Christ feel abstract, a general idea rather than an actual person?” You may say that you believe Jesus exists, but that’s not enough. What is of eternal importance is whether you share your lives together. It is […]
Overcoming
Yesterday, I heard a pastor mention the movie Left Behind. When the book was released in 1995, it became a sensation. Every pastor seemed to preach a sermon about it, either in support or opposition.

The Imperative of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit, often seen as the quiet one, conveys imperative messages that Christians must heed, urging them to speak up about salvation. Believers should engage with others along with routine spiritual activities. Time is short, and acting on the Holy Spirit’s nudges is crucial, as opportunities may quickly vanish.
