Jesus now has exactly seven months left. As you will hear in this PODCAST, Jesus knows it. He understandably recoils from it. But He must now prepare His disciples for it. Here in Matthew 16, and its parallel passage in Mark 8, we have reached a crucial moment in the life and ministry of Jesus. Make no mistake about it. These words here in Matthew 16 are a game-changer… One that reveals much to us about the character of Jesus... Read more

(The following was originally published at www.CareyGreen.com.) In Matthew 5:4, Jesus says – “Blessed are those who mourn,          for they will be comforted.” How on earth does this apply to business? After all, it seems counterintuitive that a Christian business person would have a mournful spirit. Of all people in the world, we should be the most… Optimistic Joyful Positive Energetic Hopeful …people in the world. When I talk about us BEING mournful in spirit, I mean in the sense that Jesus... Read more

A client recently said to me, “I wonder sometimes why others look at me and think I have it so together. They say ‘You lead a wonderful life!’   They confided that they could assure me that they are far from wonderful.  Walk a few days in my shoes, they say.” I began to share with them that they do know Someone who is wonderful.  Without Him walking besides us I would drown in our own delusions. If you are feeling lost... Read more

God has used my wife and son to reveal things to me that are within me that I didn’t have a clue were there. For instance, I thought I was a gentle and nice person until my son brought out anger issues in me that I wasn’t ever aware of. He was able to get me angrier than anyone else on earth by the time he was just three-years-old! God said, “It’s not your son, Craig… it’s Me. I... Read more

(Author’s note: This post originally appeared in January 2013. It was part of a series about the huge changes that are rocking Western society – and their impact on men and the church. I am not advocating these changes; I’m simply trying to explain why they’re happening, to help believers respond with greater understanding to those they may disagree with.) I’m one of the millions of viewers enchanted by one of TV’s hottest show – Downton Abbey. It’s the story of an... Read more

“Ouxano” is a Greek word meaning “Growth” used throughout the New Testament in regards to spiritual development. So, this week we are going to begin a series about guiding the spiritual growth of our children. Now, parenting is one of the most important roles and tasks that we have, just as people. So, we need to think carefully about what it means to disciple our own children. But, before we get too deep into it, let me tell you a... Read more

To purchase the entire DVD set of the Summit Lecture Series, visit summit.org. The good news of all of life, including within the Pro-Choice/Pro-Life debate is this: The same God who had the right to judge us for our rebellion (sin against His will), turns around and offers to adopt us into His family as His dearly loved children because of what Jesus did. And if your trust is in Jesus as your Savior, then you don’t have to live with... Read more

This week’s show comes from the stage of the Carnival Dream’s Burgundy Lounge! My good friend, comedian Tim Hawkins was a terrible apartment maintenance worker. So terrible that he got fired for not being able to properly rake leaves from the apartment complex’s sand volleyball court or turn rocks over so that they didn’t appear overly weathered… oh, those extremely complicated tasks!  But, in an odd twist of fate, the woman who fired him back then now works as... Read more

Adults may hear about “The Hook Up Culture” – maybe through TV shows, movies or pop culture references – but for 11-to-18 year olds today, the Hook Up Culture is their reality… it’s where they live today! Disproportionately, most 11-18 year olds in America are unfamiliar with intact marriages, or if they knew of one, it ultimately ended in divorce. Therefore they simply don’t understand the value of marriage. But, they are also being fed a constant message that... Read more

(This was originally posted in July, 2013. However, it seems to ring just as true today, in today’s political and social climate, than it did over two years ago) What does the Supreme Court’s recent rulings regarding California’s Prop. 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act say about everything BESIDES marriage? In these decisions, a number of things happened and were said that will affect Christians and others of strong faith in the years to come. First of all, in regards... Read more
