From the blog this week: Trusting When God’s Plan Seems Doomed to Fail

How Do I Tell If I Am Lukewarm?

“The way to tell whether you are among the number of the spiritually self-satisfied is to look at your prayer life. There’s the barometer. To tell whether we are in the bondage to spiritual self-satisfaction, the question is, How frequently, how earnestly, how expectantly, how extendedly do you strive with God to have a deeper knowledge of Christ, greater earnestness in prayer, more boldness in witness, sweeter joy in the Holy Spirit?”

2 Reasons Bully Pastors Rise Up in the Church

“The first is that we’ve backed away from a biblical definition of a leader—humble, gentle, kind, faithful, loving, servant. The kind of character qualities that are in the Timothy passage when it talks about qualifications for elder; the kind of character qualities that are in the fruit of the Spirit—we’ve backed away from these qualities.”

God is Not Silent About Rape

“The Bible neither covers up nor ignores sexual assault. In fact, biblical law shows how the Lord takes up the cause of the victim and the vulnerable.”

God sees both our external actions and our internal motivations. Doing “good things” for the wrong reasons is not pleasing to him.
