During the Biden Administration’s reign of terror against pro-life activists, the Department of Justice used the FACE Act to target peaceful pro-life advocates who were urging women to reconsider their decisions regarding abortion. The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act was enacted in 1994 and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. It was designed to protect access to abortion clinics.

Sex, violence and profanity on television. It was there for anyone to see. Don Wildmon—and everyone else—had simply chosen to ignore it. But not anymore. Don was fed up. He wasn’t quite sure what needed to happen next but he was done looking the other way. That December evening around the TV in 1976 was a point of reckoning for the Methodist minister. What images had been passively watched by his children on television?

I wonder what the apostles would think if we were given the opportunity to share our understanding of salvation with them. If Peter and John said, “What do you think it means to be saved?” what kind of looks would they give us if we regurgitated the pat answers? You know, if we talked about being in a personal relationship with God, going to heaven where we will be in a perpetual state of bliss, reuniting with our deceased loved ones, and having all the answers to our questions revealed.

Alternate titles for this might be: Ways to Prevent Burnout. Or, How to Pastor the Saints Without Losing Your Religion. How to Mind God’s Work Without Losing Yours. How to Enter the Ministry Rejoicing and End the Same Way. This list is as it occurs to me, and is neither definitive nor exhaustive. You’ll think of others. One. Pace yourself. You’re in this for the long haul, not just till Sunday. Ministry is a marathon, not a sprint.

You’ve likely heard this little expression inserted into a conversation dealing with what seems to be an impossible situation: “but God.” It stands as a perspective-altering declaration that when the presence of God is recognized, things appear totally different. It’s our way of acknowledging that there is a God of infinite wisdom and might who rules over even the most difficult circumstances. The skeptic might hear “but God” as empty optimism that masks reality.

When was the last time you heard a powerful and relevant sermon from Second Chronicles that wasn’t in chapter seven? Maybe the better question is when was the last time you even read Second Chronicles? It’s unfortunate that most of the historical books in the Bible are deemed irrelevant and unnecessary by so many. In Second Chronicles chapter 33, we have one of the most remarkable stories in the entire Bible. Manasseh reigned longer than any other king of Judah (55 years).

At our church, we’ve been doing a Wednesday-night Bible study from Randy Alcorn called The Treasure Principle for the past six weeks. It is not a new study, but it is probably one of the most solid, truth-filled studies I have ever experienced in a congregational setting. This small book, measuring 6.5 X 4.75 inches, packs a powerful punch.

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19–20). One of the great, exciting, and critical works the church is called to, specifically in the Great Commission, is the work of making disciples. This important calling is directed to every believer in the world.

In the previous blog, I began to highlight the significance of Paul and Barnabas choosing the more difficult route by which to conclude their first missionary journey. In exploring why they did so, I pointed out: The Route They Elected The Reassurance They ExpressedHere, I’d like to point out the rest of what they said and did as they returned to their home base via Lystra, Iconium, and Pisidian Antioch.
