Baptist PressBy , posted April 1, 2025It happens. Life s going well, it seems. You’re comfortable where you are. You’re enjoying what you’re doing. As far as you know, you could spend the rest of your life living where you live and doing the work you’re doing. Then, God unexpectedly changes your plans. Sometimes it happens excitedly, sometimes painfully – but surprisingly in either case. What do you do in those times? Know that God always sees a bigger picture than you do.

Metadata:Share this post: Parents, our kids may not be physical captives in Babylon, but they are captives to whatever is captivating them. And that presents a serious challenge for discipleship. From immersive gaming to endless funny videos, the competition for their attention is fierce. If you’ve ever spent 15 minutes yelling, “Dinner is ready!” while your child is glued to a screen, you know exactly what I mean.

Instead, we too often choose to hide in our sin. Ultimately, God is the one who forgives us, but here are reasons we must prayerfully consider confessing our wrong to another brother or sister in Christ:The Bible expects us to do so.

By , CP Guest Contributor When I became a believer at age 13, my pastor told me to begin praying for my parents to become believers. I followed his direction, and I started praying that God would save my mom and dad. Frankly, God took His time. My dad turned to Christ when he was 71 — 36 years after I began praying for him. God dramatically changed my dad (so much so that we weren’t always sure he was the same person!), but it still took more than three decades for God to answer my prayer.

In my day I have seen to many Pastors behave like loose cannons! I could write a book from my days in Christian radio and being a Pastor myself. I have witnessed the destruction. I have been called upon in the past to help rebuild Churches. We just had our FGGAM Board meeting last month. We have a great board that holds me accountable, Bill Ruhl Vice Chairman, Wanell Pate, Chuck Akeley, and Sonja Haylet. My partner in life Sharon is right with me. Our adult children also hold their dad accountable.

I confess I don’t always take care of myself as I should. I have to work hard to maintain a healthy weight, keep my blood pressure down, etc. In fact, I’m re-posting this blog from 2019 as a way to hold myself accountable to you, my readers. I don’t want to give guidance that I myself don’t follow in 2025. As a Christian, I see this issue of exercise and bodily well-being as more a spiritual one than a physical one. Here are some reasons believers need to take care of ourselves:1.

Whatever your goals are, though, I encourage you to think about adding these goals to your list as well. They may surprise you, but they reflect challenges I’ve seen too many believers face. 1.

I’ve studied and written about spiritual warfare for more than 30 years now. In fact, you can study the topic with me through the Church Answers Church Equip course, “Engaging in Spiritual Warfare.” In some ways, that short course reflects the core of what I’ve taught over the years. What I don’t always talk about when I’m teaching this topic, however, is why I started studying warfare in the first place. My father drank when I was quite young, and he had a violent, explosive temper for many years.

Baptist PressBy , posted December 6, 2024Christmas can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, we usually give gifts that don’t last anyway. This Christmas, give one of these gifts to someone:The gospel. Write somebody an email. Make a phone call. Tell somebody what Jesus means in your life. Share the good news. Forgiveness. Let somebody off the hook. Love him or her with God’s forgiving love. Prayer. I suspect you have family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers for whom you seldom pray.
