The Goal of Teaching

George McDonald

He could not have said it better! A Teacher's job is to lead people to the Master by proclaiming the life-giving word of truth as found in Scripture. The Spirit of God will do the rest!

Running against the crowd

The Courage to Speak Out

CS Lewis

History provides great examples of how easily the majority can be deceived. Speaking the truth takes courage.  

The Primary Concern of Bible College and Seminary

I am convinced (having attended Bible College) that most of them exist to prove what their denomination believes. There is (and was for me) great value in attending (it is where I fell in love with Scripture) but it is not a place that welcomes being challenged with questions and viewpoints outside the already accepted beliefs of the organization. Sadly, this is also true of most churches.

Be a King

King Solomon

 Solomon also said, "Indeed, if you call out for understanding, if you lift your voice for comprehension, if you seek it as for silver and search for it as for buried treasure, then you shall understand the fear of Yahweh, And you shall find the knowledge of God." 
Prov 2:3-5 (CLV)

Truth Under Attack

Aeschylus

Truth has never been assaulted as openly  as it is today. We should not be surprised. It is the most lethal weapon of our adversary - the Father of Lies. The first defense in our spiritual suit of armor is the belt of truth!
Transformation

Transformed

DL Moody

 God does not desire compliance, He desires transformation. Rom 12:2 

Blind to the Facts

CS Lewis

We are surrounded by cowards, but don't forget that apart from the grace of God, we would be among them. Only the Spirit of God can give us the desire and courage to embrace the truth. Rather than judge, let's thank God for that precious gift.

Today Matters

Frederick Buechner

One of my favorite authors keenly observes how precious today is!

3 Stages of Truth

Arthur Schopenhauer

It takes courage to believe the truth and even greater courage to tell it.

The Big Why

Mark Twain

Being born is proof your life has a purpose! Discovering that purpose is what the journey is all about. Thank God both days were written in His book before we were born and He is faithful to reveal them in His own time.

Do YOU Believe?

Martin Luther

Do not let others tell you what to believe or what the Bible says. Learn how to study scripture and be fully convinced in YOUR OWN mind. (Rom 14:5)
