Servants of a New Covenant

Servants of a New Covenant: "“All things belong to us, and we are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.” Paul made that tremendous, seemingly unqualified promise to the Corinthians (1 Cor. 3:21–23). Christians are free. Yet there is a paradox that balances that truth."

Liberty in Christ

Liberty in Christ: "It is crucial that you understand the nature of Christian liberty. As a Christian, you are not under law, but under grace (Rom. 6:14). Freedom from the law certainly does not mean that the principles of righteousness revealed in the Old Testament law are now nullified. It does not mean that the Ten Commandments have no application to your present life. It does not mean that you can subjugate God’s holy standards to personal preference. It obviously does not mean you are free from any moral requirements."

StreetApologetics

StreetApologetics: "What about all the killing in the Old Testament?
Things to remember in response to this question: “The 3 P’s”
1. Power- God is the Sovereign Creator
2. Patience- We learn in the OT that God is gracious, slow to anger and abundant in love!
3. Proportion- God’s judgments are in proportion to His revelation."

On The Box: Evangelist: God Does Not 'Need' You

On The Box: Evangelist: God Does Not 'Need' You: How often do we as Christians assert that the Word of God is powerful? Yet how often do we as Christians live as if it is not? How often do we as evangelists assert that the gospel is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16)? Yet how often do we as evangelists conduct our evangelism efforts as if the gospel somehow needs our help--the help of our methodologies or, from time to time, what some might consider outright gimmickry?

On The Box: Tony's Reading List

On The Box: Tony's Reading List: What follows is a list of books I've read over the last year or so, and books that I recall reading through the course of my Christian life. The list is not exhaustive because the list includes only those books I've read, which I would then recommend to my brothers or sisters in Christ

On The Box: Remember: Only Jesus Can Lift The Veil

On The Box: Remember: Only Jesus Can Lift The Veil: It is not uncommon for the Christian evangelist to run into people, whether while preaching the gospel in the open-air or while engaging people in conversation, who, no matter how much they explain Scripture to them either refuse or seemingly can't understand what is being conveyed to them.

On The Box: Greater Love Has No One Than This

On The Box: Greater Love Has No One Than This: What an honor and privilege it is to preach the gospel side-by-side with Ray Comfort. Together, we are trying to preach at least one afternoon each week on the campus of Cerritos College, just a few short miles away from Living Waters Headquarters.

Greg Laurie Daily Devotions - Greg Laurie Daily Devotion - Oct. 9, 2007 - Christian Devotional: "The human heart is like receptive soil to the seed of the Word of God. Jesus used this analogy in the parable of the sower (see Mark 4:3–20). The soil that the seed fell on represents four categories of hearers’ hearts, four different reactions to the Word of God: the hard heart, the shallow heart, the crowded heart, and the fruitful heart."
