The Fear of God

I’m thankful to the Lord for the ministry of the National Center of Family Integrated Churches and it’s director Scott Brown. I’ve recently had the privilege to participate in a devotional project with trusted brothers coloaborating our attention upon the topic of the fear of God.

Every weekday there is a new (short) video and devotional thought to cause the participant to meditate upon the attributes of God and His call to us to fear Him. Here is my latest contribution from Friday, June 17, and a link to the past few weeks of helpful devotional thoughts. Be sure to check HERE each day for more in the coming weeks.

The Fear of God (a daily devotional)

Join me this month for daily meditations and devotion on the Fear of God.

The National Center for Family Integrated Churches has produced this resource to help followers of Christ focus on a forgotten discipline in many lives of Christians and lost on many churches across the nation. These short video clips are from trusted pastors and minsters and friends; Joel Beeke, Paul Washer, Jason Dohm, Craig Houston, Kevin Swanson, Malamuolo Chindongo, and myself. It is our prayer that these will be a blessing to you.

The daily devotions are HERE: (https://ncfic.org/devotional/index.html)

Share these videos on your blogs, social media and consider emailing links to Christian friends and pastors.

The Burning in my Soul

BurningsInTheSoulLast October (2015) I had the occasion to attend and participate in the “Holiness of God” conference hosted at Ridgecrest Conference Center in North Carolina.

I had two speaking duties; this one was at a men and boys lunch “the Burnings in the Soul” at the National Center for Family Integrated Churches annual conference.

“Oh that my preaching would be barren of the philosophies of men and rich with the Word of God that liberates men from their sin and gives helpful instruction as a lamp to light a dark path for the follower of Christ.”

The Highway of Holiness

Consider joining me at Ridgecrest Conference Center in Ashville, North Carolina this fall, October 29-31, 2015, for the “Highway of Holiness” conference.

A highway will be there, a roadway,
And it will be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean will not travel on it,
But it will be for him who walks that way,
And fools will not wander on it.
No lion will be there,
Nor will any vicious beast go up on it;
These will not be found there.
But the redeemed will walk there,
And the ransomed of the Lord will return
And come with joyful shouting to Zion,
With everlasting joy upon their heads.
They will find gladness and joy,
And sorrow and sighing will flee away. (Isaiah 35:8-10 NASB, emphasis mine)

Is Your Church “Youth Group” Even Biblical?

Over a decade ago I began a long journey asking this kind of question. At the time I was still in a church as a ‘youth pastor’ and beginning to notice some uncomfortable trends among the students in our church youth group. In early 2011, the church I now pastor, Eastside Baptist Church, took a major risk  and framed a formal statement, repenting before the Lord for neglecting the sufficiency of Scripture by employing a secular method of educating the children in our church when there was a clear directive in both the Old and New Testaments concerning the spiritual training of children. (Read HERE)

The National Center for Family Integrated Churches is currently conducting a national survey on the topic of church youth groups. Would you be willing to participate in this short survey?  Click on the link HERE to begin the survey. For taking the survey, the NCFIC will give you a free e-book, A Weed in the Church and free movie Divided.

Share this with your pastor/elders and deacons in your church. Warning, this is not a comfortable path to begin. Your traditions and philosophy will be challenged. I argue that this journey is worth taking. It is less a journey of age-integration and more a journey of the sufficiency of Scripture.

The Worship of God

Last week I posted five separate posts with five videos on worship from the National Center for Family Integrated Churches. Today, I’ve just simply reposted all five of these videos in one location. The Worship of God conference is this fall at Ridgecrest Conference Center in Ashville, NC on October 31 – November 2, 2013.

A Man Needs a Good Roadmap

“I never met a man who did not want to be a great father.” Scott Brown

I’m happy to announce that Eastside Baptist Church will be hosting a conference this coming fall designed to call out fathers to look to God through the sufficiency of Scripture to be Godly fathers.

Men, join me this fall for “the Master’s Plan for Fatherhood” September 13-14, 2013, in Twin Falls, Idaho.
