Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature. ~ 1 Corinthians 14:20 If you are a Christian in your late teens, 20s, or 30s, this book will be of particular help to you. It could very well spare you and your friends years of agony over searching for God’s will and making needless mistakes. So I encourage you to ask your friends to sign up to the blog so they can… Read more

On the podcast, I took questions from some of you and promised to answer them. The episode is available. It’s episode #85. I did my best at answering the questions in all seriousness and candor. However, as is my custom, the episode is sprinkled with a good dose of comic relief. So . . . if you don’t have a sense of humor, then put your coffee cup down right now, walk away from your computer or smart phone, and… Read more

I trust by now you are all caught up on my blog series on the gospel of the kingdom. I’d like to know — what questions do you have for me about the kingdom of God? Just put them in the comments below. Read more

Tozer is one of my mentors. You can hear about the time I “met him” in one of my podcast episodes. Here’s what Tozer wrote about the matter of receiving glory. God is jealous of His glory and He will not give His glory to another. He will not even share His glory with another. It is quite natural, I should say, for people to hope that maybe their Christian service will give them a chance to display their talents…. Read more

My team and I are kicking around an idea to hold a conference in the  future for Millennial Christians (we’ll just say 20s and 30s to round it off). The conference will be on the subject of the Kingdom of God. The purpose — to equip and connect the next generation to carry the torch of the Kingdom message. If you are in your 20s or  30s and you are interested in being invited to such a conference (if we… Read more

Tozer is one of my mentors. You can hear about the time I “met him” in one of my podcast episodes. Here’s what Tozer wrote about gossip and slander. Never pass anything on – about anybody else that will hurt him. “Love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8). The talebearer has no place in God’s favor. if you know something that would hinder or hurt the reputation of one of God’s children, bury it forever. Find a little… Read more

This is a note from Christian author, Brett Blair, concerning his book launch for children: Easter is almost here and many of you will be creating your own Easter baskets and each year it gets a little harder to come up with gifts for those baskets. Well, here is the perfect gift: The Creator’s Toy Chest series of books. The Creator’s Toy Chest An Ark in the Dark Big Shot Sling Shot Dan for Dinner Today is launch day and… Read more

Tozer is one of my mentors. You can hear about the time I “met him” in one of my podcast episodes. Here’s what Tozer wrote about ownership. I do not mean by this that you cannot have things. I mean that you ought to get delivered from the sense of possessing them. This sense of possessing is what hinders us. All babies are born with their fists clenched, and it seems to me it means, “This is mine!” One of… Read more

There’s no question that the New Testament teaches that there will be various degrees of reward in the future kingdom. But it’s important that we don’t make the mistake (as many have) of elaborating on them beyond Scripture and codifying them into some sort of ironclad system. Scripture doesn’t give us details about this aspect of the kingdom. Although it certainly does teach rewards. For example, For no one can lay any foundation other than what is being laid, which… Read more

My friend Phil Cooke has come out with a new book co-authored with Jonathan Bock called The Way Back: How Christians Blew Our Credibility and How We Get It Back. I caught up with Phil to talk about his new book. Enjoy! As all authors know, readers have limited time and limited money. So when they want to know what an author’s book is about, what they are really asking is, “How does your book benefit me? Why do I… Read more
