August 3, 2024 at 6:59 pmA remarkable aspect of what is happening is that while many churches drift into confusion and diminish in power, the Gospel is emerging from some of the most unexpected places. We haven’t even mentioned the very public conversion and baptism of Russel Brand and the millions his message of transformation is reaching!

August 3, 2024 at 7:00 pmWhat then of salvation? It is predictably tedious when Christians rush to slam the gavel on who is in and who is out, who goes to Heaven and who goes to hell, who are the sheep and who are the goats.

August 3, 2024 at 7:02 pmSalvation belongs to The Lord. ~ Psalms 3:8~ In Jesus parable of the wheat and the tares in Matthew 13, the servants ask if they should gather up the tares. Jesus said, “No. Let them both grow until the harvest.” His reason? “In gathering the weeds, you may uproot some of the wheat with them.” It is clear we are neither capable nor expected to always spot the difference.

August 3, 2024 at 7:05 pmBelievers can move too quickly and confidently, dividing the sheep from the goats here and now. However, that separation does not occur until the end of the age, and only one person is permitted to perform that task: The King.
