Let's Deal with the Division
Contention, division, and strife have become all too familiar participants in the function of the modern church.

My Last Public Sermon
This message explores the Biblical ethics of privacy. In a world currently heralding the virtues of full-disclosure, would we be right to question this “supposed virtue” biblically? After all, “it is the glory of God to conceal a matter,” is it not? Our God knows all, but He doesn’t share everything He knows with everyone who asks to know. Our God shows discretion, and desires to ensure that He do
After the War
When we face grief, trauma, difficulty or disaster—it changes us. God intended it to change us for the better, but, due to the enemy’s schemes, that isn’t always what ends up happening. Many of us have injuries sustained from past wars that have remained unaddressed inside of us. The rubble of previous bomb blasts still lies there on our inner streets. What is God’s solution to this? Does he want
Stubborn as Saul
We have a problem in the church today. But, it’s not a new problem. It’s an ancient problem that often sneaks into the church undetected and messes up the whole operation. This sneaky invasion doesn’t sound all that dangerous when it’s described as stubbornness. But, if we were to call it divisiveness, everyone sits up a little straighter in their pews and takes notice. Stubbornness is the root of
Only the Sweet Ones
The enemy is cunning, and he accomplishes most of his tomfoolery in our lives under the banner of seemingly harmless things (ie. a little bit of unforgiveness, a little bit of overeating, a little bit of gossip). On the face of it, these petty little crimes seem like they shouldn’t cause much havoc in our lives. But when we look a little closer, we realize that most of our problems, as believers,
The Man Test
Humanity has a default definition of success. There is a measure of earthly achievement—and we all strangely know it. The problem is, this earthly idea doesn’t match God’s definition and God’s measurement for success. This discrepancy often plays havoc in the believer’s life. As young believers, we often launch out into life attempting to build up the skills, the knowledge, and the aptitude to suc
The Snickering of the Saints
The Devil is famous for the sly laugh he dishes out when he sees the saints of God backed into a difficult situation. He snickers. He mocks the saints of God who have put their confidence in the Almighty. He badgers them with accusations and lays the revilement on thick. But, it’s high time that the saints of God turn the tables on this satanic nonsense. For our God will not be mocked. The one ent
Perfection
The idea of "perfection" has been a tripping point for countless believers. After all, if Jesus said that we must be perfect just as our Heavenly Father is perfect, I guess we ought to try and pull it off. And yet, everyone who has tried to live perfectly in their own gumption has failed to pull it off. This message confronts this seeming conundrum and shares "how" God intended us to walk out this
Smashing
The word "smashing" has two meanings. To crush. And, something that is beautiful. It's interesting how the Christian life is built to reveal those two "smashings." On one hand, we are called to crush the spiritual powers that oppress the weak. And on the other hand, we are called to be beautified by the Holy Spirit, to be a Bride, holy and blameless. When we get these two "smashing" dimensions of
Ready for It
God is doing something in the world right now. As believers, this is what we have been praying for--this is what we have been aching to see. But, now that it is here, are we ready to receive it? Are we ready to change our lives in order to get in stride with it? ------------» Take these messages deeper and be discipled in person by Eric, Leslie, Nathan, and the team at Ellerslie in one o
Into the Storm
The Church finds itself in a unique and exciting time in Christian history. And there has likely never been a time more apropos to rise up in the authority, the power, and the majesty of Jesus Christ. A functional, faith-filled, fervent Church is an absolute dread to the Devil. It's high time we cause a panic in Hell. ------------» Take these messages deeper and be discipled in person by
The Sacred Voice
A strange delusion has settled upon the world. A delusion so strong that it could almost be termed "mind-control.” And “mind-control” is a fitting term for it, because biblically speaking, the mind was designed by God to be controlled. However, if God is not invited in to be the mind's “controller” then something other than God will move in to that preeminent position. The question this message pr
The Subjective Place
The Church of Jesus Christ has struggled with contention and division for two thousand years. Paul's letters to the church at Corinth show us that contention and division isn’t a new issue facing the Church. But, it’s important to note that if this problem isn’t new that neither is the solution. This is a message about that ancient solution. ------------» Take these messages deeper and b
The Top Step
Most believers know that Christianity is supposed to be a relationship between God and man, but, even with knowing that, most believers never enjoy a real vibrant relationship with Him. If you are desiring to fan a deeper and more intimate relationship with the Living God, it is our hope that this message helps you better understand how to reach the top step.------------» Take these messages
The Hammer Blow
One of the most difficult issues to discuss today in the Church is that of abuse. It’s awkward, strained, and difficult. It’s emotional, confusing, and complex. And that’s just the way the Devil likes it. Which is why a message like this is necessary. This message dives into this hairy matter, counteracting the most common Devilish lies (associated with abuse) with the power of Biblical Truth. We
Conquering Everest
As Christians, we sometimes struggle with understanding the difference between a capital “F” Faith that we place in Christ for Salvation and a lowercase “f” faith that we place in Christ for handling each of our life’s daily challenges. Both versions of faith are of great importance, but when the distinction between the two is never supplied to the believer, it can lead to confusion and even non-a
The Last Flight of the Pterodactyl
If there was a sub-title to this message it would be, “the sad disappearance of chasing butterflies and blowing bubbles in the Church.” Let’s face it—the rigors, the challenges, and the seriousness of this world seems to demand that we all grow up and pitch in to help steer this world from the edge of eternal destruction. And it would be a reasonable conclusion that there’s simply no time now to s
The End of Orville Wright
The Christian life is all about new beginnings, fresh starts, and resurrected Life. But the resurrected Life that we enjoy as believers was discovered in and through the death of Christ. And that’s a key pattern in God’s Kingdom: Life always rises out of death, or it could be said, death always precedes Life. From Noah to Abraham to Moses to Jesus Christ—the greatest stories in history all draw fr
Who’s Sheriff in this Western Town?
God’s leadership over our lives takes us through peaks and valleys. It takes us through rivers, deserts, and over rickety wooden bridges. But whatever the terrain and the altitude, He simply asks that we trust Him implicitly. Conceptually, this idea of “trusting God” doesn’t seem like it should be a difficult task. But, come to find out, spiritual staying-power and soul loyalty is something t
The Impossible Flight of the Golden Plover
Much like the Christian life, the Golden Plover is created to do something that, apart from God, could never be accomplished. God designed this humble little bird to fly 2,500 miles non-stop from Alaska to Hawaii every year. But, biologically, mathematically, and aeronautically this feat is not just improbable—it’s impossible. As believers, like the Golden Plover, we were created for the impossibl
The Hero WOD
In the CrossFit world of athletic fitness, a WOD is a “Workout of the Day.” A "Hero WOD" is an amped up version of a WOD. It’s a commemorative workout that honors a fallen hero. Performing a “Hero WOD” is a wonderful way to the describe the daily Christian life. It’s intense, it’s difficult, it’s sweat-inducing, and it is all done to honor the Ultimate Hero, Jesus Christ. This message emphasizes t
The Short Fat Tall Skinny Latte
This is a message about seeing the impossible happen—where two completely opposite things like bitter and sweet stop their bickering and backbiting and finally join forces to form something neither on their own ever could. That’s the make-up of a Latte. And, supposedly—for those that like lattes—this unique blend of contrasting flavors is kind of a special thing. Reconciliation is like that. It is
The Recipe for a Wessex Penny
The Kingdom of Heaven appears upside down to us here on Earth. For instance, to be great, you must become small. To go high, you must first go low. To get strong, you must embrace weakness. This is not how we naturally think and reason, which is why many of us struggle with adapting to the Kingdom Life of small, low, and weak equating to great, high and strong. On this Resurrection Sunday, Eric re
Why Not Today?
Procrastination is not a friend of functional Christianity. Rather, it’s a sworn enemy. Everything that makes Christianity work is based on “doing” and “action”. God goes out of his way to explain to us in the Scriptures that we can’t be tares, we must be wheat. We can’t be virgins without oil, we must be virgins with oil. And we mustn’t be goats that doddle, but sheep that do. Christianity was ne
The Five Fingers
This is a message at the very heart of our Ellerslie Training. The Five Fingers is an illustration that is often used in our teaching to explain the most central, salient, and foundational Truths that make up the Christian life. These are the five points that we as believers unite on and separate over. This is what Christianity is all about. Hint: It all has to do with Jesus.
The Romance of Tribulation
There are things in life that are naturally attractive to us as humans (ie. flowers, sunsets, and poetry). Tribulation is definitely not on that list. In fact, we will go to great lengths to avoid it. But, as believers in Christ, it is essential that we recalibrate our thinking regarding this very important thing known as tribulation. Because according to God’s Word, tribulation is the Holy Spirit
Small and Great
The average human when given a choice between becoming a small or a great person, without hesitation, would select great. Why not? Isn’t it the goal of life on this earth to become someone special? But, when you contrast that native instinct for the “great” life against the Christ model—there is a stark difference seen. Christ, when He came to this earth, chose the small life, the small things, an
Potato Country
Potato farming demands faith. The potato farmer needs to trust that the potato is actually growing though he can’t see it growing underneath all the dirt. Most of us steer clear of this sort of faith. We prefer things we can see, smell, hear, and touch. But, God is in the business of potato farming faith. And it is this sort of faith that Eric is charging the Church of Jesus Christ to return to fu
Leveling Up
The Christian life is impossible to live. But that doesn’t mean we aren't intended by God to live it. The secret is in gaining the supernatural help to pull it off. Baked into the design of the strong Christian life is something that Eric refers to as “leveling up.” It’s when God calls the Christian to a higher degree of difficulty in their walk and supplies them heavenly grace in order to pull of
The Christian’s Kryptonite
Superman is unstoppable. There isn’t a bad guy out there that can possibly defeat him. Unless, of course, the bad guy happens to know Superman’s lone weakness—Kryptonite.The church of Jesus Christ was designed to be unstoppable, too. But, if that’s true, then why do we presently appear to be so pathetic, so frail, and so vulnerable? Could it be because, like Superman, we, the believers in Chr
The Fellowship of the Twenty-Niners
The number twenty-nine seems to be all over the Ellerslie ministry. But why? In this tribute sermon, Eric explores the powerful way this number has impacted his life and the lives of all those who have gone through the training at Ellerslie. This is a fun message that gives a unique behind-the-scenes take at some very formative moments of the ministry’s history.
The Gambōl
A gambōl is a playful skipping and frolicking about. It’s not something many of us still do after we crest the age of seven. But it is an art that as we enter the Kingdom of our dear Savior, we are intended by God to pick back up and master. In fact, the Spirit of God aims to train us in bringing out our most energetic gambōl when life turns bleak and the oppressions and cares of the world make th
The Mountain Country
In Joshua chapter 17, the Mountain Country is not the desirable land. It’s rocky, forested. filled with Canaanite giants, and, these Canaanites giants have iron chariots, to boot! So, it isn’t any surprise when Ephraim and Manasseh receive their tract of land in the Mountain Country that it translated to them as a bit of a downer. We all have the same tendency to underrate the value of the Mountai
The Cathedral of Thought
The Christian life is won or lost in mind. The Devil knows this, too. So the Devil goes after the aperture of the Christian mind in order to direct its focus anywhere but on Christ and His Cross. If we as Christians know this, then we fight back and learn to counteract this demonic ploy with God’s weaponry. This particular sermon lays out one of the key tactics in God’s military strategy for keepi
Faith like a Fighter Pilot
Being a WW1 fighter pilot was gutsy. Kind of like being a radical Chrisitan today. When a pilot went up in one of those rickety biplanes, there was a high chance he wasn’t coming back. As Christians, when we sign up for serious Christian living, it’s kind of like climbing into a rickety WW1 biplane and taking off. It’s a dangerous and difficult mission that is promised to be accompanied by a thous
The Long Jump
From the outside looking in, the long jump event in track and field doesn’t seem very complicated. You run and then, well, jump. What’s so difficult about that? But, experts that know a little more than the average human say that the long jump is actually one of the most technically complex events in all of sports. And that’s kind of like living out the Christian life. From the outside looking in
The Slap
Consistency in any field or arena of life is important. But, consistency in the realm of Christian living moves beyond the term “important” into the zone of “eternally significant.” An inconsistent Christian can be the undoing of another human soul, the justification of a wary skeptic to stay away from the Truth, and even the excuse for another believer to take lightly their own inconsistent behav
Overpowered
Many Christians today are showing a greater faith in the power of Sin to continue to control their lives than they are in the power of God to deliver their lives from the power of Sin. We all go one of two ways. We are either overpowered by Sin, or we learn the secret of overpowering Sin. Yes. It’s true. Sin boasts a greater power than that of humans gritting their teeth, attempting to defy it. Bu
The Unpopular Choice
Our measurements for greatness often don’t match with God’s measurements. We see Eliab the strapping son of Jesse and we cry out, “Anoint him! Make him king!” But, God sees the eighth son of Jesse, who seemingly wasn’t important enough to even invite to the party, and He says, “There is a man after my own heart!” The Bible chronicles a long line of this “unexpected” and “unpopular” choosing of God
Remember When?
God designed us as humans to remember. But, that doesn’t mean we do. He even commands us to remember. But, we still struggle to live according to our design. Ironically, we even want to remember, but without a purposeful and intentional strategy we simply fail in this mission. Remembrance is a tactical way to sponsor the growth and continuance of Truth, Hope, and Thanksgiving in the mids
Dog Piling the Devil
The Devil has convinced many in the Church today that he is an equal with God—that if he were to duke it out with the Almighty that he would have a real shot at winning the bout. That’s laughable, especially since the Devil is already defeated. And the fight wasn’t even close. But, the Devil still roars loudly from his cage and he doesn’t want anyone to actually realize that he was declawed and de
The Golden Chariot
This is a message that sends both a holy thrill and a holy trembling through your spiritual being. There is a “golden chariot” described in and throughout Scripture upon which God rides. And on this chariot He comes to bring judgment. But, this same chariot that elicits awe and fear in those soon to be trampled beneath its wheels—elicits awe and joy in those that have gained the amazing privilege
A Most Fantastic Event
The time of Nero was an incredibly dark time in history; a time when people suffered under the rule of a madman and sadistic mass murderer. But there is also something that happened in the time of Nero that is absolutely extraordinary—something that can cause a believer’s soul to be stirred with great hope. The time of Nero was not just another oppressive memory on the calendar of antiquity—it was
The Revealer of Secrets
The Bible is a supernaturally complex Book. Its central and most salient ideas can be understood by children and yet its vast mysteries can be trolled to seemingly infinite depths. To understand this book demands a childlike trust. It takes humility to open up its tremendous secrets. This message explores the amazing pattern that God employs in His Scriptural revelation. He reveals, He seals, and
The Dangerous Dunce Offensive
The Christian, whether we choose to accept it or not, has officially become a fool in the eyes of the modern world. To believe in an unseen God is considered anti-intellectual to a growing percentage of the population. And for those in the Jesus-believing camp that are still desiring to appear hip and cool to the world’s eyes, this knock against them, could prove a very real stumbling block to the
The Athlete
The Christian life is an athletic event. Few understand this and therefore balk at the difficulties associated with the training and the readying of the athlete. When Christianity is viewed through the proper lens, rigor and challenge is expected. And when a Christian vigorously trains for carrying their cross the way a runner may train for running the marathon in the Olympics—something special ta
The Power of the Purple Box
Many Christians today believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord, their Master, their King, and their preeminent Authority. But practically speaking, a lot of “believers” today are still spiritually submitting their hearts to other lords, masters, kings, and authorities. And, in so doing, nullifying the practical triumph of their grand redemption. Jesus Christ isn’t just intended to be the Head of the
Even in the Rain
Most people are held hostage to the notion that their joy-o-meter is wholly dependent upon a good turn in life. In other words, if the circumstances are rotten, then so is the atmosphere of their inner man. Paul the Apostle taught something wholly opposite that earthly notion. He taught Christians in the first century to rejoice always, to give thanks in all things, and to sing and make melodies i
A Line in the Sand
As the old phrase goes, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” And it’s true. The greatest technological advancements usually coincide with the greatest world crises. How often the same thing appears true in our own lives. When things are easy, we tend to settle for a lower quality spiritual luster. But, when things amp up in difficulty, we often get intimate with our God, and quick. There is a p
The Most Spectacular Thought
In a time when burdensome and disturbing news is flooding into the psyche of the Church, how is a believer supposed to respond? Is it our job to be aware of all the maniacal and deranged movements of the powers of darkness? Is this what God assigned us to do? Knowing how to govern the thought life is the essential skill of triumphant Christians. This all-important skill of “thought superintendence
The Ethics of A.I.
A.I. technology is exploding. As a result, the church is facing ethical questions that we have never faced before. Is it okay to use A.I. technology? Should there be boundaries to our use of A.I.? Should we as the church mount an opposition to it? Should we just shrug our shoulders and say "Que sera, sera”? This is a challenging matter and one that will likely not be solved in and through this one
The Unfinished Castle
Is there a point in our spiritual growth where our initial leaps and bounds forward in Christ-honoring devotion become “progress enough” and we can finally quit with all the radical enthusiasm? Is it okay to leave the work of grace in our lives a bit half-baked, after all, we are so much further along than most? So many of us have subconsciously succumbed to the classic “slow down and take it easy
The Crazy Yellers
Many of us are a far cry from being a “crazy yeller”. And to be quite frank, we would like to keep it that way. But, every single one of us should present ourselves before the Lord and say, “Lord, take my tongue and speak through me—even if I need to appear a bit crazy to the onlooking world.” When the world threatens to cancel us, or worse, kill us—there is a human propensity to self-protect, to
The Sway of They
They. We all know of the concept of “they” even though we often struggle to ever pin down who exactly “they” is. But, this we know: “They” is a powerful force at work in our world to counsel us, direct us, and intimidate us into heeding the code of cultural normalcy. It’s embarrassing to admit how successful “they” has been in this past decade in steering the Church of Jesus Christ. Especially sin
Remaking the Boxer
Boxing and Christianity have a lot of similarities. They both demand similar strengths, similar perseverance, similar durability, and similar toughness. Both activities (boxing and Christianity) demand that you perform your challenging task with utmost precision while simultaneously being clobbered in the face. They are both extremely difficult. In fact, both are highly dangerous and even deadly.
Not Just a Little
Whether we ever speak it out loud, we tend to mutter inwardly to ourselves as believers about the all-out commitment our Savior demands of us. "Why so much?” We ponder. "Why can’t He just accept my pittance? Why must He require everything of me?" But, such inward questions only expose the frailty of our human perspective and uncover the deep lack in our spiritual fervor. For, against all logic, we
At the Cave's Mouth
Faith seems so reasonable when you are sitting in a chair in your Bible school class. In light of Who God is, what God has done, and what He has promised—it’s totally logical to exclaim, “I trust Him! He can do anything!” But, it’s a bit more difficult when you find yourself at the edge of the Red Sea, in the Valley of Elah with a giant boasting, or, as this message explains—at the tomb of a broth
The Evil Speedboats
The Devil is very good at what he does. He is amazing at the art of compromising the Christian. And yet, as good as our enemy is at seducing and sabotaging us, God is even more skilled at making Christians overcomes. If we allow our God’s Truth to be our guide, victory is assured over the snazzy speedboats of the Devil.
Who Has Your Back?
The European landscape has experienced many battles, but no country has endured the trauma of war like the small country of Belgium. And in Belgium, it is arguable that the city of Liege has taken the brunt of it. Likewise, the landscape of Scripture has endured many controversies. But the little passage of Hebrews 6:4-6 has experienced more than maybe any other. This small little portion of Scrip
The Foreman’s Key
In 1911 one of the worst fires in U.S. history took place in the Asch Building in New York City. The doors were locked on the 8th floor, so everyone on the 8th, 9th, and 10th floor of the building were stuck. One man, the foreman of the building, had the key, but he ran to save his own life. May we not be as the foreman in the Asch Building, holding the solution for the salvation of others, but ch
The End Zone Celebration Dance
Many Christians are seasoned veterans at whooping at their televisions when their team scores that winning touchdown. But few Christians these days are adept at whooping heavenward when God does His God-thing and saves the day down here on earth. We seem to leap and dance at nonsensical things that matter little in light of eternity and yet sparingly supply God the ardent appreciation He truly des
The Measurement of a Man
Thirteen years ago, almost to the day, Eric delivered this message. It proved to be one of the most important messages in the formation of Ellerslie training and the Ellerslie church. With the Alumni in town this past week, Ellerslie has been strolling down Memory Lane. So, it seemed fitting to continue traversing Memory Lane all the way through Sunday morning. This is a fresh delivery of a life-i
The Coronation Of Napoleon
The Alumni Summit is finally here, and Ellerslie alumni, the world over, have arrived on campus. This week is always one of the most precious of the year and this particular year is sort of a retro-week at Ellerslie, where we go back to the first year of Ellerslie training and bring out of the mothballs some of the great classic messages that marked our beginnings. So, to kick off all the retro-fu
Striking with the Ricasso
In sword fighting, striking with the ricasso part of the blade would be deemed a novice maneuver and one sure to find little to no effect in stopping ones enemy. In fact, it may prove the last swing that novice swordsman ever swings. As believers, we are commissioned to wield a sword. But, what if we aren’t very good at it. After all, when you first pick up the Sword of the Spirit, excellence in h
The Gentle President
Being a Christian leader exposes you to things—things that are not always pleasant. But how one responds to these “unpleasant things” is key to the power and impact of the ministry. Jesus’ ministry was marked by gentleness. And it was with gentleness that Jesus responded to the unpleasant things in His own ministry while here. And, likewise, gentleness ought to be the response of every Christian l
The Low Spot
Water behaves in a bewildering fashion—in a way that is radically different than human behavior. It always goes to the lowest spot. Even if that spot is stinky, it will go there. Even if that spot is unseen, it will set its course for that hidden spot. And though this behavior is different than our instinctive human behavior, it is the precise way that God behaves. And it is God’s desire to plant
The Well-Dressed Admiral
The time has come for the Church to stop, consider, refresh, and re-approach this battle. Our old methods for American Christianity are rusty and must be swapped out for freshly oiled Heavenly weaponry. There is a better way to fight this fight, to win this war, and to see a generation awaken to the power of the Gospel. And that is by doing it God’s way. But, to do this Church thing God’s way, we
The Muddy Paws of Brumus
Brumus was a dog—a very famous dog. He once roamed the halls of the White House and the Halls of Justice in Washington D.C. To the old governmental guard that had strict rules prohibiting animals, especially big smelly ones, from roaming the halls of American government, Brumus posed a serious dilemma. But, to the young radicals that were eager to bring a fresh wave of hope and humor to the beleag
The Game of Chicken
The Game of Chicken is a game typically played by rakish, foolish young boys that are old enough to have a driver’s license but young enough to still lack common sense. To win the Game of Chicken you must risk life itself. But, to lose this game, means to be called a “chicken”—and for most young boys, being called a “chicken” is simply not a digestible option. Like rakish, foolish young boys, the
Clothed In Rainbow
One of the most important building blocks in a strong and robust faith is knowing the unchanging nature of our God. Simply put, He doesn’t change. The world around us may prove fickle, but not our God. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. In order to enjoy a great relationship with God, a believer must get a clear grip on this beautiful truth.
Forsaking Those Desert Sandals
God is in the business of making old things new. And His chief target for this masterful redemptive regenerative work is us. But, not all of us are as interested in new as He is. We tend to cling like Saran Wrap to the old. But, the Christian life is best understood and discovered when the old is forsaken and the new is embraced.
Oomph
Oomph is a strange and fascinating word. Not only does it have an interesting onomatopoetic sound, but it is also toting around a deeply significant truth. The word “Oomph” has come to mean “exertion” or “strength invested into a task”—and that is an idea that is near absent in the modern Christian experience, but desperately in need of returning. Because Christianity that is worth its salt involv
She Smiles
Smiles have been harder to come by since the pandemic era. And, at the same time, hope and the sense of a secure future have both taken a definite nosedive in their respective stock values. But, as believers, we can’t fall for this classic ruse. The Devil has always been in the business of fretting, foreboding, and fear. His plan is simple—to dupe the masses into transferring their investment port
Sitting In Your Summer Spot
Sharing Jesus with this world is not just a sizable task, it's a supremely difficult one. So, how do we do it? Do we start yelling from the street corner? Do we wait for someone to come up to us and ask us about the hope that lies within us? How exactly is this done? What is our role? When should we speak? When should we stay silent? The answer to these questions is a bit complex and has more than
When Jenny Becomes Jake
The Church is facing unprecedented challenges today. And the battle over gender and identity is one of the strangest problems in the mix, leaving many of us scratching our spiritual heads in total bewilderment. But, God has not left us bereft of wisdom. He has supplied us with everything we need for this hour in history. This message unpacks the challenge of gender confusion and supplies Biblical
The Redemptive Ripple
The Good News is supposed to be exactly that—good news to the soul. But, many believers get their spiritual Ph.D. in the Devil’s opinion regarding themselves as opposed to God’s opinion. We must be experts on the Truth and not spend another moment meditating on the Devil’s nonsense. When we come to Christ via faith, there is a redemptive ripple effect that takes place in our lives—overwriting all
Two-Handed Christianity
So many today live out their Christianity with a limp. They don't run “The Race” given them with gusto. Instead, they waddle down the narrow way with a petering whimper. What’s needed is an understanding of Biblical Grace. And not just the grace that rescues from the penalty of sin, but the variety that rescues from the oppression of sin. There is a lost and dying world about us, but most of us ar
