Outreach Leaders

When we consider the greatness of our sin — including the times we have harbored murderous anger toward a brother or sister — we must flee to Jesus, the refuge for the guilty souls of sinners.

Why do people leave church? Here's why it's so easy: because what they are leaving isn’t really the church, it’s the box we’ve created for church to fit into.

If you have the desire to pursue a career among the Christians in Hollywood, my advice is: Lead with your talent, not with your faith.

We can and should worship and love Jesus individually. But we should also worship, pursue God's word and love him with others. In fact, it is essential and vital to our spiritual lives and health as believers.

During my surgical training, I helped care for an aging professor who bemoaned his declining health. His mind still moved in academic circles, pondering...

By focusing on numerical-growth church metrics we may inadvertently feed the very thing that could choke out true health. 

Something happened that Roman, now a former Muslim, never expected: tears, prayers to Jesus, repentance and joy. Sitting in a service in a Baptist church, the man who had devoted his life to persecuting Christians became a follower of Jesus.

It would seem to me that if I wanted to reject Jesus or had walked away from the Church, I would be focused on where I’m going, not where I’d been. I’d be writing about the next big thing in my life, or the journey to get there.
