Ever wonder why there’s a “Panic Button” on your car key?  Is it labeled such because when you accidently press it and your alarm wakes up the whole neighborhood, you panic and struggle to find a way to turn it off? The manufacturers say it’s there in the case of an emergency – like if you’re being attacked.  But is this little red button on my car key really going to help?  I mean, if a gang is about... Read more

When I invite someone to church, I get uncomfortable.  In fact, the word “invite” needs to be interpreted loosely.  I rarely have the courage to ask somebody to go to church with me. I’d rather throw up my breakfast. – eggs and all. Most of the time, I don’t even really invite them.  I merely mention my church one too many times and they ask if they can come check it out. This has got to be the work of... Read more

Rick shares his story from Calcutta, India: The Bengali people are the sixth largest unreached people group in the world.   300 million Bengalis call the region of West Bengal home.  Needless to say, there are A LOT of people there needing to know who Jesus is, and the response that we received when we spent time with them showed that there is indeed a hunger for God in that part of India.  We witnessed over 1,600 professions of faith,... Read more

Have you ever made a choice and when the outcome wasn’t so good, blamed the results of your poor choice on someone else?    Boundary violations are about not taking responsibility for our own choices and trying to lay the responsibility of those choices on someone else. How often do we use the phrase, “I HAD to”, or “HE made me do it.”   Whom are we blaming for the circumstances of our lives? Many of us are afraid to set... Read more

Sometimes things really are as simple as they seem. This will certainly be true in this PODCAST, as we discuss together one of Jesus’ most remarkable statements. Matthew 11:20-24 (NKJV) 20 Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent: 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented... Read more

Suzanne Lederer leads us in connecting with God through Lectio Divina, or “Sacred Reading”. Luke 18:15-17 15 One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him. 16 Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 17 I tell... Read more

When we last left our old friend, John the Baptizer, his faith was in a free-fall. He was here last week, sort of, to tell you his scintillating story in his own words. (If you have not heard that PODCAST, may I respectfully request that you listen? A story that I promise you, you will never forget.) Think of it. John… The man whose coming was predicted by the prophets… Whose birth was foretold by an angel… Who identified and... Read more

We must eat daily…spirit, soul, and body to grow, be balanced, and to be healthy…in all three areas: spirit, soul, and body. We are so fast paced in our country.  And we have incorporated this into our relationship with God.  We are a fast food nation. We want instantaneous answers, overnight transformation, and speedy growth. We want drive up and drive through service. But God desires to speak to us daily through his word. He wants to have direct... Read more

To purchase the entire Summit Lecture Series, Vol. 1 on DVD, go to: summit.org. A Contingent Truth is a truth that could have been false.  So, if you want to understand a Contingent Truth, think of something that is true that God could have made false if He wanted to. For example, it’s a Contingent Truth that there is a clock in the room.  It’s evident and true that there is, in fact, a clock right there in the room. ... Read more
