Growing as a Disciple of Christ. Tuesday, August 6, 2013. So, why would someone who has been a believer revert back to their original position, or even worse, progress to an even worse condition?

Growing as a Disciple of Christ. Wednesday, January 23, 2013. Webster's Dictionary defines discernment as "the quality of being able to understand clearly; the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure."

Scripture tells us in Philippians 1: 9-11 that, " And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,. Fille...

Growing as a Disciple of Christ. Monday, May 27, 2013. Hindrances to Spiritual Maturity. The Bible teaches us that the process of growing spiritually takes a lifetime. Philippians 3:12 says, " Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." That being said, we are to be growing on a daily basis in our walk with God. Do you ever feel you are not growing in your walk with the Lord as you would like?

Growing as a Disciple of Christ. Wednesday, May 28, 2014. Practices within the Emergent Church. The one that tends to confuse believers the most is the practice of meditation.

Lord , my rock and my redeemer". Joshua 1:8 tells us " Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night.".

Growing as a Disciple of Christ. Sunday, November 25, 2012. Suffering and the believer. Then there is the suffering that happens in our lives simply because we are promoters of the Gospel. I am sure we have read or heard of missionaries who had to endure much hardship and suffering attempting to promote the Gospel. First Peter 4:16 says, "If you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.". A God of love? Of the ultimate story of suffering when we hear about our Lord...

Growing as a Disciple of Christ. Thursday, June 19, 2014. Why the Bible can be difficult to read. If you were to ask the average person about the Bible you would most likely find that they have tried to read it and found it rather difficult. While the main message of mankind's need of redemption through salvation by acceptance of Christ's atonement on the Cross is easy to understand (John 3:16), those who desire to read further and deeper often find it difficult to comprehend.

Growing as a Disciple of Christ. Monday, December 16, 2013. Through the hands of God. I have always endeavored to keep whatever was happening in my personal life out of this blog as I want it to be a place for teaching and encouragement in order to challenge us to live our lives in a way that is more in line with how God would have us live. However, I believe that I am to make an exception as something that recently happened to me lays the groundwork for this chapter. We may not always see the hand of Go...

How do you think you would fare if you were prepared and prayed up before any of these situations happened.do you think you would fare better?

Growing as a Disciple of Christ. Wednesday, September 24, 2014. Living in the last days. We need to do a serious personal inventory and ask ourselves several important questions in order to ascertain the areas that we need to improve upon. How well do we know our Bible? Will we be scripturally ready to give an account for why we believe as we do? Can we explain to another why he/she needs the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior? Are we doing our best to bring the lost into the Kingdom of God? These words o...
