If our prayers for the lost do not result in our entering the harvest field, we only may be playing at church.

Mission begins when we understand and embrace Christ's Great Commission. It gains motivation and momentum when our hearts are gripped by his compassion for the lost and hurting.

It is not enough to simply adopt the value of mission as a subset of the church's activity and effort. It must become the engine that pulls the train. Otherwise the great commission will always be an option instead of the priority.

Every day we are challenged to interact with God's Spirit, the Scriptures, and other believers as he works from the inside out to make us more like Jesus.

Spiritual disciplines are God-given ways for us to connect with God's heart in a greater way, which makes us more receptive to the indwelling Spirit's voice and direction. The more we get in step with the Spirit, the more we grow and thrive as disciples.

Deeper relationships can often be built over shared meals. This allows us to enter the realm of biblical hospitality.

If we expect the average follower of Christ to be able to parent, surely we are also competent to counsel one another in most things.

Any serious Bible-believing disciple must acknowledge that demons exist and come to terms with his or her responsibility to help people be released from their oppression.

If God is with us, it is enough for us to stand up against any force of evil and fulfill our calling.

When Christians put their trust in the dictates and pronouncements of modern astrophysicists instead of in God's Word, it is a form of idolatry.
