When Christian Leaders Go Astray.
When I’m leading worship, I feel this three-way connection between myself & the congregation, & myself & God. Not like I am the channel to God for the congregation, each individual needs to reach out and touch God for themselves. But, there’s a connection between myself and the congregation inasmuch as they allow me toContinueContinue reading “When Christian Leaders Go Astray.”
“The Animal School” by Dr R.H. Reeves
Once upon a time, the animals decided they must do something heroic to meet the problems of a “New World,” so they organized a school.

“Justified by faith…”
I remember hearing an old preacher explain it like this, being justified means that it is just-as-if-I’d never sinned. So by faith, in the same way that it was accounted to Abraham as righteousness, we are justified before God. The power of that justification is revealed in the peace that we have through the forgivenessContinueContinue reading ““Justified by faith…””
