June 15, 2021

The church in America was not ready when things went wrong. We've heard too much of a positivity message. The storm of this pandemic has revealed the foundation we have built on. The church is the hospital for the sick, not an entertainment factory.

Is the Bible true?


Christians believe the Bible is divinely inspired and essential for teaching, correction, and spiritual growth, but there is often a gap between this belief and actual practice. This gap is partly due to academic skepticism about the Bible's reliability and the argument that using the Bible in modern, post-literate society is unnecessary.

Is the Bible true?

Is the Bible historically accurate?

Is the Bible scientifically compatible?

Is the Bible ethically acceptable?

Why do you believe the Bible is true?

Can you be a scientist and also believe in the Bible?

Can you have a high view of reason and still also believe in the Bible?

What could you do today to start finding out about the truthfulness of the Bible?

It's a balancing act. On the one hand, as a Christian you have a reason for your faith that goes far beyond merely your personal experience. On the other hand, you do have a personal experience and you know Jesus personally and can testify to that.

The identity we have as God's creation, and who He has made us to be in Christ defines our aspirations and dreams. We become who He has designed us to be. That is the core of humility.

America and England are pretty safe places for faith, but in a global context, there are Christian brothers and sisters facing daily persecution. And there are concerning potential trajectories in the rest of the world that we need to be aware of. We need to make the most of the opportunities before us today.

The gospel reaches out to those who are excluded because of their background. In Christ, the dividing wall of hostility (between Jew and Gentile, slave and free, and across races and classes) is broken down.

There certainly are inauthentic followers of Jesus in the church today, but we don't need to go around being cynical and questioning motives. Instead, it’s a call to focus on own authentic following of him.

Stephen, the first Christian martyr, gave an extraordinarily powerful witness to Saul, who would later become Paul. The reality of suffering is used by God for great things. If you are struggling, be faithful and see what God does.

The storm we are going through is having a different impact depending upon the kind of foundation an individual already has in God's Word and in relationship with God. So there's a call to base our life on God's Word.

Sometimes we think of the Christian life as, "I bought the ticket; I'm going to heaven," but that's such a limited view. When you become a Christian, you enter into His kingdom and while you're still in the world with its battles, now you have a purpose and someone to live for.

Sometimes the healing that God offers is the peace that passes all understanding that enables us to go through physical sickness. Sometimes the healing is the joy unspeakable that allows us to rejoice in Jesus even during sickness. Emotional and spiritual healings are real healings!

We're not going to get out of this world without passing through death, unless Jesus returns. It is right to pray for healing, but we also need to pray that God is honored through life and through suffering and through death. That biblical foundation will allow us to stand firm, even in the midst of today's storm.
