“…the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:14 It's human nature to follow the crowd. From peer pressure in school to societal expectations in adulthood, the desire to blend in and be part of the majority is strong. But Jesus[...]
The American church is facing a severe lack of capable and called ministry leaders. I get calls almost weekly from churches looking for a pastor or worship leader. But most often, churches call looking for a student pastor. We’ve recently hired a new student pastor at North Hall Church. I[...]
A lot of Christians are riled up about the lyrics on the new Taylor Swift album. I’ve read the lyrics, and they’re certainly disturbing. This album isn’t Christian friendly. In fact, it’s anti-Christian. So yes, let’s talk about the Taylor Swift issue, but let’s not stop there. I always[...]
“but they could find no ground of accusation or evidence of corruption, inasmuch as he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption was to be found in him.” Daniel 6:4 Integrity is rare quality these days. That’s because our culture doesn’t value moral principles and ethical standards, as it[...]

“we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition.” 1 Thessalonians 2:2 It’s no secret that our culture is increasingly hostile to Christianity, which is why many believers stay silent. The apostle Paul faced similar issues. The gospel of Jesus was not a popular[...]
Who should be responsible for creating “meaningful change” in our nation? Americans are twice as likely to say it’s government’s responsibility than to say it’s the responsibility of Christian churches, according to a new Barna survey. The implications of this survey should be of great concern to born-again, Bible-believing, followers[...]
