Living for Eternity: Setting a Vision for Christian Community

What is the focus of our relationships? Do we spend time with others simply to receive attention, affection, and sympathy, or do we socialize in order to remind others of the unchanging glory of God? Remember that although we live in a temporary present, we have hope in an eternal future.

Every exchange with others counts for eternity. We should ask ourselves, are the interactions we have drawing our friends, family, and culture towards God, or are those words and actions pushing them away from Him?

How can we Foster Christian Discipleship?

What does the word Coalesce mean? How is it important in relation to our faith? Are we called to simply LIVE with those around us, or are we called to POINT them to something much greater?

We are human; we are prone to wander, to forget what we have seen and known, but in a world that grows increasingly separate from God, it becomes all the more important that we live each day reminding each other of the faithfulness of God.

“Christian fellowship exists for this, to say [and do] things that will keep each other believing.” ~John Piper

Francis Chan on Dating and Marriage

Why Does God Allow Evil?

Why Does God Allow Evil?

If God is all-powerful, He can stop evil. 

If God is all-good, wouldn’t He want to stop evil?

Evil exists.

Thus an all-powerful and all-good God must not exist. 

This debate has existed for centuries. If we are honest, it is a really important one. If God really is not good, we need to know this. 

So, is it true? Does the presence of evil in the world preclude the existence of the kind and loving God described in the Bible?

Dr. Sean Mcdowell answers this question in brief.

Finish the Race

“Finish the Race” from Chariots of Fire

“Down but not out.” We say that, but do we really think it’s realistic?

Watch this clip from the movie, Chariots of Fire, based on the true life of Olympic runner and missionary to China, Eric Liddell as he does the impossible.

This scene from the film is actually factual; in July of 1923, Liddell tripped over another runner during a quarter-mile run but was then able to get back up and secure a victory.  

The Death Crawl

“The Death Crawl” from Facing the Giants

Go ahead, give up. 

You have the freedom to make that choice; maybe, no one would stop you if you did. 

Or, when you are drained of everything you have left, keep going. It’s a truth that seems too simple; it has even become cliché.  

“The Death Crawl” from the movie, Facing the Giants, is an inspiration to those who feel like the mountain standing in their way is insurmountable. We hope this small clip encourages you to press on! 

Lee Strobel’s Testimony

Lee Strobel’s Testimony

As a former atheist, Lee Strobel would not simply believe in God by faith. He needed the facts. He was so skeptical of the Christian faith that he set out on a mission to disprove it. Unfortunately for his skepticism, he didn’t find what he was looking for and was surprised by what he discovered instead. Click to listen to Strobel tell you about his journey.
