When a non-believer dies, we mourn for them! When a believer dies, we mourn for ourselves, because we lost a loved one but they are in glory!

Interested in how a pro – life perspective affects not only our view of abortion, but also capital punishment?

We have a massively important vote on abortion coming up in November here in Ohio. I sat down with Steph Krider, former legislative director of Ohio Right to Life, and Pastor Julia to discuss this vote and the broader ethic of life. Check it out!podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

“I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things…”
Following Jesus involves 2 losses: losses we choose and losses which are imposed on us! But we gain Him! bible.com/bible/59/php.3.8.E…

At the trial of Jesus, the people shouted “we have no king but Caesar”! This is a binary choice! We either bow before Jesus as King, or we reject him and surrender ourselves to a political tyrant!

Meditating on Pontius Pilate and his similarity to our politicians.
-He knew the charges against Jesus were false.
-He tried to take half-measures to satisfy religious leaders.
-He denied knowing what truth meant.
-He capitulated when they claimed he was no friend of Caesar!

Without love every good thing becomes corrupted.
Without love holiness becomes self-righteousness.
Without love truth becomes rigid orthodoxy.
Without love mission becomes conquest.
Without love the pursuit of justice becomes tyranny.
Without love unity becomes uniformity.

A Spirit-led challenge! So thankful for leaders like you who listen to God and challenge the church to be the body of Christ in the world!

5 years ago when I retired from World Vision, I threw out a challenge: bring clean water to 1 million people in Rwanda! Last week I went to celebrate the achievement. Incredible! 1 million lives changed forever. The joy of the people was amazing.

The Bible says that Jesus continually prays for the church. What does he pray? Probably what he prayed on the night he was betrayed. He prayed:
That we would be PROTECTED from the evil one.
That we would be SANCTIFIED
That we would ONE
This is how we should pray for the church!

Being a secret follower of Christ is a contradiction in terms!
“Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not openly acknowledge their faith…” bible.com/bible/111/jhn.12.4…

“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so!”- Mark Twain
How many political opinions or interpretations of the Bible are we certain of that just ain’t so?

Some conservative evangelicals expend enormous effort to defend the idea of a "young" earth. Yet most evangelical biblical commentators don't think the Bible itself actually teaches that.

The Pharisees dragged a woman caught in adultery before Jesus “in order to test him” (Jn. 8:6). Many in the church today are doing something similar with their pastors, “testing them” to see if they will be tough enough on sinners! They ID more with the Pharisees than with Jesus!

With whom will you compare Jesus? Has anyone in history:
Taught more brilliantly?
Loved more deeply?
Suffered more profoundly?
Died more sacrificially?
Risen more triumphantly?
Ascended more gloriously?
Saved more powerfully?
Satisfied more thoroughly?
No one is like Jesus!
