The most unrealistic thing about Stranger Things isn’t the Mind Flayer, Vecna or the Upside Down.
It’s that for 5 seasons, we’ve been entrenched in an American Midwestern small town in the 1980s and not a single mention of Christ, Church, or Christianity. 😂

I have just received word that a longtime friend I’ve been praying for has received Christ as His Lord. I called & asked how the truth of Jesus finally gripped Him? (We’ve talked for HOURS about theology & God’s love poured out) He said & I quote, “I have read the Bible four…

I was 17 years old the first and only time I said the F word in front of my mother. Didn’t know my Dad had just walked in from a long day’s work and was behind the kitchen door listening to my rebellious wanna be alpha male address my mother in such a horrible way. I never knew he could run that fast. I never knew my body could leave an imprint in the drywall like that. I didn’t know I could levitate. My Dad was on me like white on rice. He told me “You will not speak to my bride like that ever again.”
After the immense fear had subsided (😂) and I was thanking God I was alive and well (my dad is no small man) I realized that she wasn’t first and foremost my mother, she was first and foremost his bride. I never stopped seeing her that way. And with that, as things are often caught not taught, I strive to make sure my kids know my wife is first my bride before she is their mother. There is absolutely no relationship on earth more sacred than the one between husband & wife. Cherish it, protect it, fight for it.

Fact: 70-88% of youth born in evangelical homes leave the faith after one year in a secular college.
Maybe. Just maybe. We start to focus on more doctrine, more ability to explain what and why they believe, and less performance, less trend, less show, less entertainment.

Yes. I believe that if a pastor ever commits adultery on his wife, no matter how repentant or in right-standing with church and family he becomes, he should still not be reinstated as pastor of any church. Above reproach is there for a reason and it speaks loudly to a culture already hating us.
They are not damned, they can be forgiven. They are free to use their gifts to serve the Lord, serve in ministry, etc. But not pastor.

May this preach to us. ALWAYS MEET. Never cancel again. And warn brothers who see it fit to cancel worship services because Sunday lands on holidays. Learn and change.

K-LOVE is gospel-less. The feel goodery of what passes for contemporary Christian music today is moralistic therapeutic deism with zero salvific power. A waste of airwaves cloaked in worldly kindness.

I am 40 and my wife is 41. We were married at 25 and 26. We didn’t start having kids until 28 and 29. Two years of that wait were unexplained infertility. Once it happened, three kids followed the first kid. Our one wish? We would’ve married earlier, started right away instead of waiting two years before trying to have children, hopefully having more than four. God plans our steps and He redeems our choices. But if the couple is following Christ, our advice to them is to skip a long engagement, get married, and have babies. A true treasure.

Call homosexuality a sin because it’s a sin. However, it isn’t a great witness for the church to barely raise an eyebrow at the rampant sin of premarital sex before hopping on your keyboards to yell anathema at the LGBTQ. All sexual immorality is unbiblical. Stand up accordingly.

Someone we invited to church yesterday called me today and said “I’ve heard the Gospel a thousand times. This is the first time I woke up and I can’t stop thinking about it. Can we talk?”
My answer: immediately and for however long.
I’m absolutely pumped and so grateful for Christ Jesus. Will you pray for our time tomorrow? Thank you!

Real quick, “women can’t be pastors” isn’t an unclear text. “Biblical marriage is between a man & woman” isn’t an unclear text. “Don’t murder babies” isn’t an unclear text. Stop pretending the real problem is assumption and start pointing the gun at the real culprit: disobedience

As a father of three girls, all under the age of 11, can any woman of God explain why the top pic is justified while the bottom pic is viewed societally as completely different. I know feminism shouts “mind your business, men” but this seems like an unavoidable question in the lives of godly men wanting to raise godly women who will someday be asked “Why won’t your dad let you wear a two piece?” Especially considering how, alongside the changes of the age, the bathing suits are being made increasingly less modest. Any rebuke is cast aside as body shaming or chauvinism which is dishonest, leading us back to the pic below. 🤷🏻♂️

Two packed services today, so it was noticeable when a visiting family of 6 walked out in the middle of my sermon, after I said, “The world promotes a Christianity that reads: No matter what I do, who I love, no matter what I think or promote, Jesus loves me just because. It’s nothing. This is the feel goodery promoted by those who desire to do whatever their flesh tells them is okay and want to fashion a Jesus out of their own making.”
Good reminder: if those who have subscribed to false doctrines aren’t either repenting or leaving, you aren’t preaching hard enough. If heretics feel comfortable in your church, rejecting the living Christ of the Word, preach harder and more faithfully.

The Bible is clear on marriage.

The Bible is clear on abuse.
The Bible is clear on gender roles.
The Bible is clear even when professed people of God pretend it isn’t. The Word reveals much.

While leading our Wednesday night Bible study, I recently repeated my regret and repentance to my church for shutting our worship services down for 8 weeks under local government instruction during COVID.
We didn’t have to demand people come and defy the government, we could’ve left it personal choice, but we should’ve had service available and kept the church doors open. Someone should have been there preaching and available in person for any soul that wandered in needing answers, needing truth.
Never again, by His grace, in His grip.

Christians do not love the same Jesus as the Mormons. Christians do not love the same Jesus as the JWs. Christians do not love the same God as the Muslims. We serve, we worship, we follow the one true Triune God of the Bible. All else, all others, are counterfeit. Stand there.

The Christian take on abortion: it is never okay. Not ever. No exceptions. To think otherwise goes against the one true God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, Giver and Sustainer of life. Those who call themselves Christians in Ohio but vote pro choice should be ashamed of themselves.

I don’t care if your church sings classic hymns, modern hymns, whatever, as long as they are Christ-centered and are written by actual Christians, go for it. Choir, band, both, don’t care.
But man… whatever you sing, sing it like you’re going into battle! Sing it like Jesus lives and our mission is to rip souls out of Satan’s grasp with the Gospel. We always complain about men not singing, well give them something a man would sing. Maybe they don’t want to sing songs that sound like they were written for and by middle school crushes. “Then you came along and put me back together. Every desire is satisfied here in your love” vs. “High King of heaven, my victory won / May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun / Heart of my own heart, whatever befall / Still be my vision, O ruler of all.” No contest.
I fear that church after church is stuck creating a worship environment that sounds like some Enya-laced yoga studio or a postmodern preschool therapy session where it’s Billy’s turn to hold the feelings stick. We are worshipping the living God who conquered sin and death, and we are being sent out to mission at work, at home, and in the public square. Sing it with heart, guts, boldness, and occasionally even a scripture-based war chant a cappella. 😎

The “don’t judge” thing is so tired.
Bible = truth. You make judgments based on truth. We all do. No one is holding unbelievers’ feet to the fire, we are holding believers’ feet to the fire.
If you’re a Christian, abide in His Word and His Word in you. Period.

My wife is self controlled, wise, godly and loving. Her IQ is off the charts, she doesn’t get caught up in drama, she has always wanted to be a wife and a mother in a household that glorifies Christ.

Charlie Kirk’s killer could accept Christ as Lord and Savior, not the Mormon Jesus, but the God of the Bible, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, he could fall on his knees and be forgiven.
Then, at a time of the courts’ choosing, could face a just death penalty, meeting His maker under the shed blood of Christ instead of previous paganism.
This is simultaneously permissible under the authority of Scripture.

Men, do not be duped into thinking this man should be followed and appreciated by Protestants. I have friends who I love and appreciate who need to stop making excuses for him and call this one what it is: a bad egg. Stop hurting your ministry by trying to make excuses for his garbage thinking simply because of your pride or a refusal to say "I was wrong." This isn't a "Adam doesn't understand what he REALLY means" or "Look, Adam doesn't really get what's at stake." Nope. Black and white situation here. He is OFF. Mark & avoid.
