The entire point of having social media, for me, is to point to Jesus. It's an opportunity to get the scriptures into the public square, to show who Jesus is and why people need Him. Although the video I posted below is ultimately a promotion for the G3 Conference, most of this video explains who Jesus is and why we need Him. It is only 2:44 long. The video is very well done.

The Master’s Seminary had its annual graduation ceremony this past weekend. What does one say to a group of men who entered seminary 4 or 5 years ago and starry eyed, pressed on with studies hoping to make a difference for the kingdom of God? Who now see lions at the gate, enemies calling themselves Christians, and demons coming to the fore?

You get graduate James Coates to share some encouragement to budding pastors. I also share some encouragement to ladies/wives of ministry workers.

It’s evil days. The Bible tells us that. And we only need look at both secular and Christian news sites to see it playing out in living color before our eyes. It’s enough to get a person down. Here are two encouragements for you. This set of verses from God’s word are but a few of the verses that tell us that no matter that satan’s efforts to try and thwart, interrupt, or block God’s plan, none of it will work...

Take a listen to this short encouragement, in which I also offer a resource of a practical aid for staying positive in dark days

For the last week I’ve been presenting different essays examining from a biblical perspective whether direct revelation is happening today. There were 4 previous parts to the series. Today is the conclusion. It was sparked from a conversation I’d had with Jennifer Ross of Confidently Called Homemakers on her podcast. Please go take a listen to the wonderful material Jennifer has for you over at her site. Here is my final question: Why is all of this important knowledge for the average Christian mom and wife?

Question: I’ve heard Christian women claim “voices from God” promised them a large following, or popular ministry, or a specific calling. How does this go against what’s written in God’s word? And should we avoid their “ministries?”
