How Can I Stand Firm in Dark Times?

These are challenging days. News headlines fill us with grief — shootings, murders, division, and unrest seem to surround us. It can feel overwhelming, even frightening. Yet, as followers of Christ, we are called to respond differently than the world. We are called to turn to God, repent of our sins, seek His face, and stand boldly and courageously in His truth. Turn to…

How To Present the Gospel

How to Effectively Present the Gospel to a Lost Sinner is part one in a two-part series written by Pastor David Dickerson to encourage Christian evangelism. The Romans Road The Romans Road is so called because it is a presentation of the gospel from the Book of Romans. Paul did not establish the church in Rome.

The Power of a Godly Testimony

A testimony is a personal account of how God has worked in a peron’s life. As a Christian, our testimony speaks of what Christ has done in our lives for His glory. Each testimony is a miracle and witness of the power of God bringing life to us who were “dead in trespasses and sins.” When we share our testimonies, we acknowledge God’s presence…

Fear, Anxiety, and Worry

Are you fearful? Anxious? Worried? Do you wonder why situations arise or difficulties seem to plague you? Fear seems to run rampant in our culture. Yet, fear is produced when emotion overtakes sound thinking and peace is banished. And, fear is a toxin that paralyzes hope. Fear is At the Root of Our Questions I write of fear, because truth be told, it is often this very…

Is Acceptance with God Possible?

The big debate about acceptance boils down to understanding how we can truly know that God has forgiven our sins. Religion in its many forms continues to be man’s attempt to reconcile himself unto God, all futile. Let’s take a minute to review what Scripture has to say about “acceptance.” Acceptance is defined as “a favorable reception or…

What Does It Take to Believe? (part 2)

Resisting of Satan Natural men have insurmountable obstacles to their believing.  First of all, they are dead in sins (Ephesians 2:1), separated from God who is life.  As “alienated from the life of God,” their understanding is darkened, and they are ignorant, because of the blindness of their heart” (4:18).  Besides the blindness of a dead man, they…

What Does it Take To Believe? (part 1)

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:31 To the Philippian jailer’s clear-cut question: “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” (v.30), Paul and Silas answered with the clear-cut answer above.  He had only to “believe upon”[i] the Lord Jesus Christ as the only object of trust.  The clear-cut promise: “You will be…

The Miracle of Christmas

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Matthew 1:23   This verse is a familiar passage cited around Christmas time, and it sets forth the heart of the Christmas message: the birth of the virgin born Child, who is God come into the world. It reveals the truth of…

What is Life All About?

The first question in the old catechisms children had to learn in church was, “What is the chief end [goal] of man?” The answer: “The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” This is a good biblical answer, for I Corinthians 10:31 states:  Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.  So we are to…

Is Man Basically Good?

All philosophies and religions stand or fall by their view of sin.  If the disease is not properly diagnosed, there will never be a cure.  Our view of sin and the extent of its devastating effects upon man will subsequently affect our view of man’s salvation. The Word of God reveals that man is a fallen creature (Genesis 3).  By virtue of being created in the…

Will God Bless America?

An article by Dr. Robert Lescelius This question presents a possibility and a problem. The possibility is that God may not bless America, but the opposite. Judgment is a more realistic possibility. Then there is the problem of the Church. Is she, or can she become, an instrument of blessing? Where do God, the Bible, and the Church fit in the future of America? The…

Marking Men

I once heard an old man of God preach on “marking men for God”. He pointed out that Abraham “marked” Isaac for God, Moses “marked” Joshua for God, Elijah “marked” Elisha, and Paul “marked” Timothy. What he meant by “marking” men for God was “disciplining” or “mentoring” them in “the ways of God”. Once a young preacher experiences the reality and power of the Holy Spirit…
