Christianity on the Move: When the Word of God Prevails

In all of life’s comings and goings there is the reality that as certain things or events occur there are correspondingly certain and particular results. For example, if you are a man with a wife or girlfriend and forgot that it was Valentine’s Day, the result is likely that you might still be in the...

Christianity on the Move: Lessons We Are Learning

What comes to mind as you read the following statements? “Treat others like you want to be treated” “Tomorrow is a new day” “Take a nap—they are the best invention ever” “Everyone needs a second chance” “People matter most” “You are not always right” “Don’t eat yellow snow”. All of these are great pieces of...

Christianity on the Move: Making Known an Unknown God

I recall a few years back seeing data taken from a study of some 1500 parents of small children that inquired of how many questions a child generally asks in a day’s time. Any guesses? How about 73!!! I got a kick out of a few funny examples parents offered, including “Why do I have...

Christianity on the Move: Conflict Among Christians

If you are like me, you probably tend to “idealize” the early church. It is so exciting to read about Jews and Gentiles coming to be transformed by the Gospel, and how the Word of God spread like a wildfire across such a broad geographic area. We see bold and courageous men and women on...

Christianity on the Move: Open Door

As I prepped for this message a thought that reoccurred in my mind was the picture of a doorway, and of how when we see a doorway we naturally observe if the door is open or closed. A favorite memory of mine was at home on the farm and Grandma’s house which had a screen...

Christianity on the Move: Resolutions Worthy of Resolve

I trust that most of you, if not all, have at least given thought to the idea of resolutions or goals for upcoming year. Most often these resolutions consist of hopes and aspirations regarding finances, relationships, employment, and personal well being such as weight loss and exercise.

Christianity on the Move: Ultimate Sovereign King

I have had some discussions lately and seems like there are a lot of people who feel that everything is out of control and it is often confirmed as I look through my Facebook news feed or watch the news. It seems that there is this underlying fear that things will not get any better....

Christianity on the Move: Nickname

Have you ever had a nickname? Flattering or not, they generally reflect a quality, characteristic, or event in one’s life that tends to define you. Take my younger brother Craig for example; his nickname was “Boo-Boo” as in describing a child’s scrape or a bruise. Now for Craig, it wasn’t just a harmless scrape with...

Christianity on the Move: Game Changer

I believe it can be said of all of us that there have been certain people, events, or seasons in our lives that have been “game changing”; that is, being of such significance that the trajectory of our lives or ideas are never the same after the encounter or experience. Many such examples exist in...
