2 Corinthians – Why Don’t Churches Change?

| June 30, 2014

Why don’t more churches change by spiritually growing? Why don’t more Christians alter their pathways of behavior? I am convinced we have conveniently forgotten most of the NT was written to people exactly like us, needing to change. So superficial are we. Content in Christ does not mean content in myself, that I am fine […]

1 John 2:16-17 – Three in One

| June 26, 2014

What do you think of when I say, “three in one?” What would you think if I said that while each is individual, all three are part of the whole? That while you can separate one from the other, they cannot be totally separate? What would you think if I described the first of the […]

1 John 2:16-17 – Three or One Types of Temptation?

| June 26, 2014

Have you considered the possibility the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life are not three different types of temptations? Maybe each is present in every temptstion and culminates in what CS Lewis calls the Great Sin, pride, which John mentions last. Contextually, they are all called in […]

Perryism – When preaching, remember there are people sitting in the pews hurting; and when in the pews, remember there are people standing in the pulpit hurting.

C.S. Lewis and I

| June 25, 2014

C.S. Lewis wore round glasses. I wear round glasses. Just sayin’. C.S. Lewis was a Christian apologist. I am a Christian who apologizes…a lot to my wife. Our similarities are so similar! C.S. Lewis was from a country that borders the Atlantic. I am from a country that borders the Atlantic. These similarities are eerie. […]

John 1 – If a God Were To Become a Man

| June 23, 2014

If a God were to become a man, what kind of a man would he become? The answer is so obvious. He would become the same type of man that he is as a God. This is seen in all the mythologies and the incarnation. So when we men strive to imitate our God, we […]

Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21 – Parenting Method

| June 21, 2014

Parenting Method – Been trying something with our teenagers which I think is helpful to them and therefore us. When in trouble, we take them through the process as if they were the parent, examining the evidence, so they can see the situation not from their defensive point of view but from a parent’s, from […]

John 3:16 – The 3:16’s

| June 20, 2014

Everyone is aware of John 3:16. By coincidence, there are many powerful 3:16’s. John 3:16 (HCSB) “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. Matthew 3:16 (HCSB) After Jesus was baptized, He went up […]
