As many Christians bemoan the deterioration of "family values" in our society, have we, as Christian parents, abdicated our responsibility by spiritually abandoning our children?
Although the church has a part in our children's spiritual education are we not accountable before God for the spiritual development of our children? Statistics reveal that Christian parents are rarely involved in the spiritual lives of their children. Scripture, however,...

The Christian life is actually a kind of death. We die to ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus. Dying in Christ, however, is an opportunity-to experience the comforting presence of the Holy Spirit as we spread the Good News of a God who loves us enough to save us and remake us in his image. Efrem Smith helps us see that Christian discipleship is a counterintuitive life. In a world turned upside down by sin, God carefully and lovingly strips...

If we truly want to lead a supernatural life, with a faith believing in the impossible, then we need to become radical for God. We need to be red-hot Christians who are on fire for Jesus. It means following Him no matter the cost. It means doing as He says in His Word and never compromising. For the radical Christian, it is all about Christ and nothing else. God is calling for a people who will no longer submit to the 'normal'. Are we just going through...

Jesus commissioned His people to Go Make Disciples. His words formed the mission statement for the Church, it's our main priority, our primary calling. So why do we struggle so much to do it? Why do we excel in many areas of ministry, yet not what is central?
There are many reasons for this challenge, but perhaps the greatest is the tendency of the Church to separate community and discipleship, albeit often for legitimate reasons. Discipleship community...

The stories, prophecies, and experiences of the prophets in the Bible still hold important and relevant lessons for us today. We will be wise to learn from them. After all, there is nothing new under the sun. Sin remains sin. God will not tolerate rebellion and He will not be mocked. The prophets also shared the good news, as we find throughout the Bibles that God is the same today, today and yesterday, meaning He is still a God of long-suffering,...

For far too long, the church has tried to make disciples using a one-size-fits-all approach. Some churches advocate 1-on-1 discipling, others try getting everyone into a small group, while still others training through mission trips or service projects. Yet others focus all their efforts on attracting people to a large group gathering to hear biblical teaching and preaching. But does one size really fit everyone?
Based on careful biblical study and...

Stay under Your Hat is not only a book title, but also a principle of living. Alan Walter, the author, first understood the principle while leading a dual diagnosis group for the Department of Community Supervision (state probation) in Northwest Georgia.
As God further developed the principle in Alan's mind and heart, it has grown into a book that will likely involve sequels. Stay under Your Hat is a call to those who believer in the death, burial,...

Over the last thirty years, many influential church leaders and church planters in America have adopted various models for reaching unchurched people. An "attractional" model will seek to attract people to a local church. Younger leaders may advocate a more "missional" approach, in which believers live and work among unchurched people and intentionally seek to serve like Christ. While each of these approaches have merit, something is still missing,...

We are experiencing a mentoring crisis today. One key reason is that too many women cling to an outdated formulaic idea of what mentoring is all about. When we hear the word 'mentoring' we conjure up a picture that fit our experience decades ago. Then we look in the mirror and don't see an adequate mentor staring back at us. Our preconceived ideas about what today's young women want in a mentor convince us we are not qualified to be mentors-but we...

It is true that mankind himself has probably always been characterized with the main desire to determine just what spiritual truth really is. For centuries and centuries, highly educated philosophers and religious men alike have always stood toe to toe, disagreeing on spiritual truth. Since they cannot all be right, this would strongly indicate that education, religious persuasion, or even intelligence has little to do with our discovery of the real...

The church is in disarray. Theologians and commentators speak of the demise of evangelicalism. Are they alarmists? Is Christianity as we know it in the process of dying? Writer, scholar, teacher, and missionary Dr. David Alan Black thinks that the answer does not lie in the politics of the left or the right. In fact, he doesn't think that Jesus tells us what our politics should be. He doesn't see answers in Christian nationalism. But even further,...

Discipleship occurs when someone answers the call to learn from Jesus how to live his or her life as though Jesus were living it. The end result is that the disciple becomes the kind of person who naturally does what Jesus did. How the church understands salvation and the gospel is the key to recovering a biblical theology of discipleship. Our doctrines of grace and salvation, in some cases, actually prevent us from creating an expectation that we...
