Taking the Land, Part 80

Last week we discussed the attitude that will keep us moving, growing, and pressing on to maturity in Christ, as the Apostle Paul expressed it in Philippians 3. If Paul, who had one of the most powerful, fruitful ministries of all time had the attitude near the end of his life that he had not yet...

Love and War

It was forty years ago this summer that the “Summer of Love” in San Francisco ignited the counter-cultural revolution, and with it began one of America’s greatest identity crises. Some of her strongest foundations were shaken, eroding religious faith, morality, devotion to family, and basic integrity.

Taking the Land, Part 79

As we have discussed, the majority of Christians today are no longer in a vital, living, local church. A primary reason given for this is because they feel that the church is not relevant to their needs; they simply do not feel that much is accomplished by being a part of the local church. Others...

Taking the Land, Part 78

As we began to address last week, we know from the clear prophecy of Scripture that the end of this age will be the hardest time the world has ever known.

However, the church is the messenger, and the vehicle for this message. It is also His bride, the queen that will rule with Him in the kingdom. Therefore, it...

Taking the Land, Part 75

Our perspective of the kingdom must be based on knowing the King. As I have contended that much of the biblical teachings on righteousness deal with stewardship, which is management, there is a sure biblical witness that the Lord cares deeply about this. It was this issue in the Parable of the...

Taking the Land, Part 74

For the past few months we have been addressing the subject of our time, especially as we prepare the way for the kingdom by taking up the call to preach the gospel of the kingdom. As we see this present world collapsing into increasing discord and disorder, the kingdom will be marked by increasing...

Taking the Land, Part 73

The goal of this part of our study on the kingdom is to become better stewards of what our King has entrusted to us. As we have also addressed the last couple of weeks, sometimes spiritual fruit can be hard to measure, but not impossible. However, before we cover how we might judge our spiritual...

Taking the Land, Part 72

Last week we began addressing our responsibility to test the fruitfulness of ministries and missions in which we are investing the Lord's resources. In large operations such as charities, which are devoted to distributing material goods, this is much easier to measure than when we examine...
