I took my family to the Minnesota State Fair this year. It was my dad, my sons and me. Now, my dad gets the same look when he enters the State Fair as when he enters Sam’s Club: this bedazzled, mystical gaze. I guess he’s hypnotized by all the oversized fried food. And, according to tradition, my dad refuses to park in the State Fair parking lot. Instead, he insists that we park on the front lawn of one... Read more

“Epic,” as in Your-Salvation-and-Mine-Rides-or-Falls-on-This. I kid you not. This PODCAST is going to be fun, and so instructive. Instructive on two levels. Instructive as we discover together exactly what Jesus meant here in Matthew 18:18-20. Instructive as we are handed, courtesy of Jesus, an opportunity to learn what to do, and perhaps more importantly, what not to do with the Bible. As you are about to see, we must bring to this passage every interpretive tool in the tool box in... Read more

(The following was originally published at www.CareyGreen.com.) What does “mindset” mean and how can Christ-followers implement the truths of Scripture and the promises of God into their daily mindset? First off, think of something very basic that you believe that also affects your actions day to day. It could be as basic as believing that if you turn your key in your car’s ignition, the car will start and you can drive to work. Or believing that we need to... Read more

With Christmas upon us, I wanted to talk about Mary today. The virgin birth of Jesus touches me in a very female way in relating to sweet Mary as a mother.  Any mother beholding those scenes of recent Jesus movies of Mary watching her beloved Son tortured and murdered on that cross can’t help but feel the deep emotions and horror that Mary felt as she watched and fell at His feet sobbing. We don’t know much about her. ... Read more

To purchase the entire DVD set of the Summit Lecture Series, visit summit.org. As a Muslim, I had been taught that all Christians are veiled polytheists. They believe in multiple gods. They call it one so that they can the honor and dignity of being monotheistic, but they actually believe in three. And they don’t know why. And I lorded that over people! Anytime I would encounter a Christian, I would get excited. I viewed it as a great opportunity to... Read more

I have a home office that I work out of. People often assume that it’s nice working from home and I must get SO MUCH WORK DONE, since I don’t commute to work. Now, when I first began this venture, I read a book about how to work from home. The book said that if you have a family, prepare yourself! Because your family will have a very hard time leaving you alone. I read this and thought, “Oh,... Read more

I am so excited to have my dear friend, Ricky Garza on this week’s show. Ricky is part of the I’m Waiting team, as we go into local schools and discuss STD education, teen pregnancy, and how the decisions that kids make today will impact the rest of their lives. This seems to be a message that they’re not getting anywhere else these days. In addition to being a key part of our team, Ricky is a doting dad... Read more

So, Ephesians chapter four tells us: Always be humble and gentle. Not “sometimes” or “whenever you think about it”… but ALWAYS be humble and gentle! Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. 3 Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. 4 For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. I... Read more

In this week’s PODCAST, as we continue in our chronological study of the life and ministry of Jesus, we come to Matthew 18:15-17 — one of the most important passages in all of the New Testament, the so-called “Church Discipline” passage. Church Discipline, a teaching in many local churches that really rose into prominence in the late 1970’s and became quite the trend. I can remember attending church leadership conferences back then and hearing pastors — I’ll use word “boast” — of... Read more

She sat in my office crying her heart out seeking an answer for depression. A young mother of three children who just could not seem to get it together or define why she was so unhappy and miserable. She said she loved being a mom and her marriage was just fine. I was stumped and began to just call on the Lord to help me, help her! Finally, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper to me, “Ask her about... Read more
