How does life transformation happen? It takes place when we take God’s Word back to Him in prayer. God’s Word is transformative. We can “hear” His Word from many sources. Jesus often said, “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!”

There are many unforgettable characters found in the Bible. Some are strange, some are evil, others great. They represent struggles of the flesh and triumphs of the spirit; failure and achievement; debauchery and nobility; goodness and greed. Ambition and humility. The stories of their lives and exploits have filled many a Sunday school lesson, illustrated many a sermon, and become legendary to those of us who cherish the great and wise Book.

At Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in Fayetteville, North Carolina a beautiful thing happened. On New Year’s Day, twin boys were born. Adonis and Adrian will have no recollection of this special occasion. They have no past to fondly remember or bitterly forget.

They’ve made no mistakes, caused no trouble, had no regrets, celebrated no triumphs, made no resolutions, suffered no sickness, and reached no milestones other than being among the earliest arrivals of this new year.

How should Christians go about voting in the 2024 Primary Elections?

This past summer, Jonathan Reaves brought his family on our inaugural ministry trip to Washington, DC. Shortly after returning home, Jonathan was asked to run for City Council by two pastors whose churches (thanks to our previous work cultivating relationships with them) are strategic ministry partners with Christians Engaged. Because God had so deeply impacted his heart on the Christians Engaged DC trip, Jonathan said yes to running.

This is what the new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson publicly said about Christians Engaged:

“This is one of the key ministries in America working to equip and empower believers to stand for truth and make an impact on public policy and the direction of our country. ‘For such a time as this!’”

I can tell you, Christians Engaged is here for such a time as this.

A transformational gospel that has the power to redeem people from destruction cannot just be about the First Coming but it must also include the Second Coming as well.

Biblical Worldview - Part 1 - What is a Worldview? Why is it Important?

Have you ever considered your most basic beliefs? The way we act is shaped by the way we look at the world. Our lives are shaped by our basic assumptions and convictions. Those beliefs may be based on truth, or they may not. They may lead to inconvenience or they may mean the difference between life and death.

This year we started the Christmas season by watching the Frank Capra classic movie It’s a Wonderful Life, which stars Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. We have seen this movie many times, but this year we were struck by the contrast between Bedford Falls and Pottersville, and we saw in it a message for times such as ours. Sadly, it seemed to us that our world today looks much like Pottersville.

I learned early on that praise and worship is the highest calling for a believer because it fulfills the “First Greatest Commandment” given to us by Jesus. It’s true. However, we must also consider that praise and worship is a manner of prayer because we are communicating our love and adoration to God.

Often at church or in a Bible group meeting, there is a time of prayer among those gathered. Prayer requests are given and the group takes the needs to God in prayer. Of course, this type of prayer can take place anywhere two or more believers gather. Agreeing in prayer is an ultimate expression of unity in the body of Christ

The Essence of Prayer - Inquiring, Abiding, Listening

Prayer is and should be, a means of two-way communication more than an avenue to make requests.

This is the second of two articles with two evangelists insights, and I challenge you to read their words and pray about how God might have you respond to Him.

Evangelism is a key tenet of the Christian faith, but how many of us really share our faith on a regular basis?

Will We Malign God’s Beloved or Will We Love Her? (A Message to the Church Concerning Israel)

This message is to all the Christians who seek truth, who do not want to be led astray by “deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1), and who call themselves bold and courageous. This is our moment of decision on one of the most important issues of our generation. What will we do with Israel?

The Holy Spirit’s Work: It Touches Even Our Sex Lives

The apostle Paul gave the Church of Thessalonica an exhortation in 1 Thessalonians 4 that I believe strongly is a warning to us today in the modern American church.

The Miracle of Our New Speaker — Congressman Mike Johnson

After 22 days of the American public wondering if the House Republicans would ever come together, they finally became unified around a humble Christian man.
