Salvation: The Deception of Non-Saving Faith
All throughout Scripture, we see examples of people who have faith, but it’s non-saving faith. After all, every one of us has some type of faith we exercise every day. We have faith a car will stop while we cross the street; we have faith that our prescriptions …
560: If He’s the One Who Builds It, He Will Come
In the movie “Field of Dreams,” Kevin Costner’s character hears a voice that says, “If you build it, they will come.” While this quote has become iconic, part of Hollywood folklore, the truth is, if we let God build His church the way He intended, He will come …
“Lord Jesus Make Me, a Sinner, as Holy as You Can”
For quite some time, we have talked about the importance of the Higher Christian Life, which was a term coined by the Keswick movement of the last century. And the point of the Higher Christian Life is to experience, in real-time, sanctification. But the questions …

558: The Most Important Prophetic Scriptures
When we look at Scripture, God has a tendency to make things simple for us and categorize everything into only two groups. There is almost never a third option. For example, you have light or darkness, evil or good, heaven or hell, the wide road or the narrow …
Knowing the Future is Not Always a Good Thing
We know from Scripture that God is sovereign. And it is He, and He alone, that brings nations to the forefront and then orchestrates their decline and ultimate demise (Job 12:23). We’ve seen that throughout all history. And we have accounts of it in Scripture …
557: Hermeneutics – The Rules for Biblical Interpretation
When we are faced with either believing God’s Word or the prevailing, confusing, and ever-changing voices of our culture, many Christians find themselves in a conundrum. They want to believe everything God’s Word says, yet they don’t want to be called a bonehead …
Yes, But How? The Sanctification Question
As we begin our journey to answer the “Yes, But How?” questions in our Christian life, we are compelled to start with an understanding of the difference between justification and sanctification. Or, the things in our spiritual life that are His responsibility …
556: How to Surrender Your Thought Life to Christ
In God’s word, some of the hardest things to obey are the sanctification passages that are specifically our responsibility to fulfill. These are passages like the command to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thes. 5:17), or “to walk by the Spirit and not fulfill the lusts …
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.”
