Pastors

"Jesus is praying this prayer over us today."

The Bible alone, empowered by God’s Spirit, is sufficient for this work. Individual Christians and their churches must fill themselves with the Scriptures.

Do you know what people are saying about your preaching behind closed doors?

It’s possible that the church may be growing and the ministry may be having a huge impact in many people's lives, but something is still not right. The team is not healthy.

No, this is not a post about the loss of our religious freedom—it’s a reflection on a quote I’ve looked at many times since...

Though it is true that we interpret the Bible in our day, it is also true that the early Christians interpreted the Bible of their day—i.e., the Old Testament.

The words "accountability partner" sound like an exception and a punishment rather than a lifestyle and a gift.

While church growth has its share of critics, I’ve rarely met a church leader who didn’t want his or her church to grow. And ultimately, growth matters because people matter and the mission matters.
