Which Way Should I Go?

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2

In Lewis Carroll’s famous novel Alice in Wonderland, an exchange takes place where Alice comes upon the grinning Cheshire Cat. She’s lost and asks him, “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”

The cat quips back, “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”

“I don’t much care where,” Alice replies.

So the cat says, “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.”

Many folks today, like Alice, simply don’t know where they’re going. Then they’re surprised after they’ve ended up wasting their years starting this, stopping that, switching gears, but never really having a purpose in life.

But what would happen if we became not more “simple” minded, but “single” minded in our resolve? What if instead of looking for just the right job or person to marry, people began with the end in mind of living full-out for Christ whatever path that meant taking?

In Christ, you have a destination: to serve Him fully and wholeheartedly. And while the exact path to that destination may not be illuminated yet, you can begin looking for direction today with that end in mind. Keep Christ first and let you life’s path go from there.

If you have never trusted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you can do so right now. Turn to Him in faith and true repentance. Confess and ask forgiveness of your sins and ask Him to make you one of His own.

God bless…

Is Your Pastor a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing?

In this age of cultural Christianity, and what I mean by that is Christianity that is changed to fit the current popular ideas. Christianity that is custom tailored to suit the community’s various wants, tastes, and needs. Did you know that when one of the trendy new “modern churches” are planning to plant a campus (that’s the new trendy name for these modern, progressive churches now, “campuses” ) they send interviewers into the community to talk with people to find out what they want in a church. What sort of programs they like and what kind of sermons they want to hear, and then they tailor the entire worship service around what the community wants. This is not church folks, this is a social club. The problem with this new fangled Christianity is that people may know very well what they want, but what they need is an entirely different story. Many people today want to be entertained in a worship service. They want loud music, they want drama skits...

The Nahum Principle

This principle is clearly taught in the prophetic message that God gave to Nahum to deliver to Nianevah, the capitol of the Assyrian empire. Nahum pronounced that the nation’s wounds had become “incurable” ( Nahum 3:19 ). Jeremiah used this same terminology when he later pronounced God’s doom upon Judah. Your injury has no healing, your wound is severe. All who hear news of you Will clap their hands over you, for upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually. It is an ominous message of truth that Americans, even Christians, will rebel against. The Christian community will reject it because it has compromised its values with the world, it has wrapped itself in the flag...

Why the Reformation Still Matters

In an era of spiritual confusion and cultural fragmentation, the Reformation stands as a poignant reminder that truth is worth fighting for. October isn’t just about falling leaves and pumpkin spice ; it’s Reformation Month. On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, sparking a movement that would reshape the church, challenge empires, and recover the gospel’s blazing center: salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. This month, I’m launching a series of blog posts that explore why the Reformation still matters, how its truths confront our modern confusion, comfort our weary hearts, and call us back to the beauty of biblical grace. When most people hear the term “Reformation,” they think of dusty history books, old church controversies, or perhaps Martin Luther wielding a hammer. However, the truth is that the Reformation isn’t just a chapter in church history; it’s a living legacy. It’...
