How to Change the World

March 28, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.” ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer When you stop and look at the world today, you can quickly become hopeless. How to change the world seem like an impossible task, with no satisfactory answers. Evil is everywhere you look; it’s like we live in the land of the lost. If… Read More »

Chosen Yet Frozen

March 27, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“People do not seek God. They seek after the benefits that only God can give them. The sin of fallen humanity is this: Humanity seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God themselves. We are, by nature, fugitives.” ~ R.C. Sprouls Humankind did not happen by chance. Any honest scientist… Read More »

Minding God’s Business

March 26, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“Submission to the Scriptures is submission to God. Rebellion against the Scriptures is rebellion against God.” ~ Kevin DeYoung  Humanity is obsessed with minding its own business and ignoring God’s business altogether. Humans go to any lengths to get what they can from the world, not even realizing they are delusional, believing they can rest… Read More »

Telling The World About God

March 26, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“God’s plan for enlarging His kingdom is so simple – one person telling another about the Savior. Yet we’re busy and full of excuses. Just remember, someone’s eternal destiny is at stake. The joy you’ll have when you meet that person in heaven will far exceed any discomfort you felt in sharing the gospel.” ~… Read More »

The Heart of Bethlehem

March 25, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“Bethlehem was God with us, Calvary was God for us, and Pentecost is God in us.” ~ Robert Baer The Christmas story is mysterious, magical, miraculous, and apocalyptic. God came to earth as a fetus, born from above and with the same free will we possess, and yet Jesus never strayed from God’s plan for… Read More »

Kingdom Salvation

March 24, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“Sanctification is not a work of nature, but a work of grace. It is a transformation of character effected not by moral influences, but supernaturally by the Holy Spirit.” ~ Charles Hodge The world is full of Christians who have knowledge of God and rebirth but have never truly experienced kingdom salvation. Their eyes are… Read More »

Can I Get a Witness?

March 24, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“Nothing spoils a good story like the arrival of an eyewitness.” ~ Mark Twain There is nothing more persuasive in the world than eyewitness testimony. Despite forensic evidence and gifted prosecutors, it’s hard not to be swayed by an eyewitness. Their testimony doesn’t mean they are always telling the truth. Many people are falsely accused… Read More »

Stay Out of the Dumpster

March 23, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“When God takes out the trash, don’t go digging back through it. Trust God.” ~ Amaka Imani Nkosazana Have you ever heard the phrase “don’t sweat the small stuff?” Why do we insist on rustling through life’s dumpster to find things to worry over?

Welcome Stranger, Please Come On In

March 23, 2021 By Harold Long Leave a Comment

“2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!” (Hebrews 13:2). One of the first things we teach our children is “don’t talk to strangers.” Spiritually speaking, every lesson we learn about welcoming strangers is the exact opposite of what we teach our children.… Read More »
