  • Dead in Sin; Alive in Christ

    Saturday, March 19th, 2005

    Have you ever wondered (or tried to explain to someone) why doing good things isn’t quite enough to “get into heaven”? The new Christians of the early church were wondering the same thing. As Paul explained in his letter to the Ephesians, every single one of us is locked inside a washing machine stuck on [...]

  • Ephesus

    Thursday, March 19th, 2009

    by Daniel A. Brown, PhD
    It seems like 21st Century Christian leaders have become experts about how wicked and how unresponsive to the gospel, their cities are; and, they feel as though they have accomplished something by merely condemning sinful practices in their culture/city. Paul spent little time condemning people because he was so busy talking [...]

  • Great Grace For Not-So-Great People

    Monday, October 13th, 2008

    For God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble. 1 Peter 5:5bGrace is one of those words whose meaning is so incredible and far-reaching that our minds almost refuse to go to all the work of alerting us to its full implications when we see it or hear it. Grace. The [...]

  • New Testament Spirituality

    Saturday, July 12th, 2008

    Biblical spirituality isn’t measured by strangeness or otherness; neither is it marked by physical gyrations, vocal affectations or arcane bits of knowledge about supposed “deeper things.” New Testament spirituality is indicated by the degree to which it ushers in the gracious workings of God.

  • Out from Under the Law

    Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

    How Do Believers Relate to the Law?
    It surprises many people to discover that God issued only one commandment from the time He created Adam and Eve until the days when Moses led His people out of Egypt. That was a span of over 2500 years! He simply said, “From the tree of the knowledge of [...]

  • Paying the Internal Cost

    Monday, January 11th, 2010

    The following is an excerpt from “Jezebel: A Controlling Spirit that Splits Churches.”
    In 2 Corinthians, Chapter 12, we are reminded that over the long-haul that everything in the kingdom that is going to do you good and grow you up in God, is always something that will cost you something. It is by grace we [...]

  • Peru (Lima), 2010: Day 12

    Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

    Since Fabio has been running back and forth from Peru to Columbia more than once in the last two weeks, for meetings, he wasn’t able to tack down the schedule for our days in Lima. Consequently, when we went to bed the night before, we didn’t know exactly what the plan might be for the [...]

  • Some Planted, Some Watered

    Friday, March 26th, 2010

    God, who will not give His glory to another, bestows portions of His grace for brief periods of time on men and women who figure prominently in our spiritual formation. He gives them a measure of wisdom and insight, so that they can “watch over” our souls (Hebrews 13:17), without “lording” over us in the [...]

  • Timely and True Spirituals, Part 7

    Sunday, December 18th, 2005

    Praying in the Spirit
    There are a lot of things we just can’t humanly achieve, if we’re honest with ourselves. But when we believe God at His word, we can look forward to an energy and an equipping that defies human ability. That’s what this continuation of Daniel’s series on “spirituals” will disclose in detail–how a [...]

  • We Got Robbed…

    Monday, August 18th, 2008

    “…your destroyers and devastators will depart from you. Lift up your eyes and look around; all of them gather together, they come to you. “As I live,” declares the Lord, “you shall surely put on all of them as jewels, and bind them on as a bride. For your waste and desolate places, and your [...]

  • Where was God when the Towers Fell? A Seventh-Anniversary Retrospective

    Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

    Seven years after they happened, we still find ourselves reeling from the repercussions of the terrorist attacks directed against our nation on 9/11/01. Though we wouldn’t have guessed it then, we have to admit that we’re only beginning to deal with the grief and the loss: children have grown up without knowing their fathers—except as [...]
