The church in America has become its own worst enemy, pandering to the culture for likeability’s sake with little effectiveness in saving people from hell—if we even believe in such a place anymore.

In Christ’s resurrection a new age came into existence! Why do Christians need to orient their whole selves around this new reality?

In the first century Christians were not treated as well as Roman citizens. Where Rome demanded allegiance through aggression and superiority, followers of Jesus both then and today depend on a power that comes from the Sovereign King himself.

We live in a broken and fallen world where life is disappointing. It often doesn't “work” or go as planned. We sin and are sinned against. How should Christians respond to failed expectations in this already/not-yet time in history?

Lots of people choose to channel their energies toward having as many experiences as possible before they die. Should Christians have a bucket list?

Where the reality of death confronts us is also where resurrection hope is to be proclaimed. If Jesus returned today, would he find us sitting on the treasure he entrusted to us?

Even as Christians we can taste and swallow the lies of the world and think them a little sweet. Are you being pushed by the past or pulled by the future?
