A New Model for 21st Century Missions: an Introduction

Last updated on: June 7, 2016 at 8:13 am By Guest Contributor

by Gary Edmonds In Matthew 28:19, Jesus left his followers with this command: ”Go and make disciples of all nations.” The gospel spread quickly and widely, and this remained the model for Christian missions for millennia. Fast forward to today. Sending out a few to train others is still a solid strategy in a world where 1.6 billion people barely survive on less than $1.25 per day. Extreme poverty is brutal—it robs children of the ability to grow and to... Read more

Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God

Last updated on: June 8, 2016 at 7:08 am By Guest Contributor

by Michael Anthony Years ago, I took a life-changing pilgrimage to Enfield, Connecticut, a spiritual “nuclear bomb” within America’s “Great Awakening” (1730-1755). There, a thirty-eight year old Jonathan Edwards delivered the sermon heard ‘round the world, “Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God.” Listeners clung to their pews, fearful that the ground would open up and welcome them to a fiery home of eternity torment should they not repent. Today, only a large stone stands on the site,... Read more

How One Man Made a Difference

Last updated on: May 19, 2016 at 5:52 pm By Guest Contributor

by Eric Kampmann May 20, 1940. The army of the German Reich was sweeping across Northern Europe; four hundred thousand English troops were trapped on the northern coast of France; Neville Chamberlain had just resigned as Prime Minister and Winston Churchill had replaced him. The English government was torn between fighting on against impossible odds or, perhaps more sensibly, signaling to foreign intermediaries an openness to discuss with Hitler terms of a truce. Could Churchill, with all the odds stacked... Read more

Three Ways to Stop Pursuing and Be Pursued (by God)

Last updated on: May 19, 2016 at 5:37 pm By Guest Contributor

by Joshua Ryan Butler Be sure to check out our Book Club on The Pursuing God. The gospel highlights not our pursuit of God, but God’s pursuit of us. Unfortunately, many caricatures get the biblical story backward. Here’s three ways the gospel confronts our caricatures, to reveal afresh the relentless love of God. #1 GOD AND SIN Caricature: God can’t stand to be in the presence of sin. Gospel: Sin can’t stand to be in the presence of God. Many envision... Read more

The Pharisee and the Trump Supporter

Last updated on: May 2, 2016 at 8:45 am By Guest Contributor

by Matt Mellema Each election cycle brings a whole set of temptations for me. Sometimes I’m tempted to anxiety, struggling to trust God as the world spins away. Others times it’s worldliness, believing that my favorite politicians can create utopia all on their own. Still other times it’s a lack of charity, casting my opponents as soulless goblins out to destroy everything. But there’s one sin that’s especially hard for me to shake: self-righteousness. The self-righteous temptation is worst with... Read more

The Emptiness of Comparison

Last updated on: April 19, 2016 at 6:59 pm By Guest Contributor

by Andrew Voigt Comparison has poisoned many days in my life, leaving me feeling inferior, superior, neglected, praised, cheated, and hollow. But you knew that already…We all do, but we still won’t stop comparing ourselves to one another. Why? What is it about comparing ourselves to others that is so appealing? This isn’t merely, “They have ____ & I don’t, so I feel inferior.” We often neglect that comparison can also be a form of arrogance. “I just got ____... Read more

The Impostor & The War Within

Last updated on: April 19, 2016 at 6:54 pm By Guest Contributor

by Andrew Voigt I follow Jesus; I deny Jesus. I love my wife; I love myself more than my wife. I desire truth; I hide my darkness behind convenient lies. I love hope; I succumb to despair. I’m a fan of the Atlanta Braves; I also support the Los Angeles Angels and the Chicago Cubs…Call that a confusing scenario. We all have an impostor within, fighting against all that is good, true, and meaningful. I first heard the analogy of... Read more

What Have We Become? – Humanity’s Denial of Evil That Has Invited Hell To Earth

Last updated on: April 19, 2016 at 6:45 pm By Guest Contributor

by Andrew Voigt “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true. The other is to refuse to accept what is true.” – Soren Kierkegaard This morning I’m thinking about Brussels, Belgium…I’ve never lived there, nor have I even visited, but the tragedy that took place yesterday has left me feeling sick…Evil is real and it will effect us all, whether in our own lives or in the lives of others across the globe.

Blink: What Are We Living For In A World Decaying?

Last updated on: April 19, 2016 at 6:26 pm By Guest Contributor

by Andrew Voigt I’ve been thinking about the past, present, and future…I’ve been thinking about how quickly life is passing by, constantly morphing into something different every day. The more I think about the brevity of life, the more my thoughts wander to the same question: Are we living for what truly matters? As I write this, I’m surrounded by people who are busy with their daily lives. One person may be worried about their child’s performance in school, while... Read more
