We talked about all things making disciples, evangelism, and then a bunch of “Biblical studies stuff” like theories of atonement, the nature of hell and more.

Discipleship as a Way of Evangelism
Instead of thinking of “making disciples” as an extension to evangelism, we need to understand we called to make disciples and preaching is a small part of that process.
Jesus Reveals God’s Kingdom Through His Life
In Jesus declaring the kingdom of God is at hand, we can lay aside our anxiety over sin and our efforts to conquer it on our own strength. There’s no need to fear or worry. God is becoming king again!
Discipleship isn’t about getting people to see the way we do, it’s about embodying the gospel with each other.
When you have friends or family making drastic changes and you feel panic or want to change with them, before doing or saying anything, remember that you aren’t saved by your right theology or lifestyle—you are saved by the grace of Christ. You aren’t even saved by your belief in being saved by grace—you are saved by the grace of Christ.
Youth Groups, False Converts, and Bible Translations
Should churches have youth groups? How do we keep from creating false converts? And which translation is best for our generation?
Racism Is Not a Social Issue
Recently, I had a conversation with a friend who is black and lives in the south. He told me racism is not a social issue. What drives racism, no matter what color of skin one has, isn’t the way the judicial system is set up. It isn’t even whether are not we have statues. In this post we’ll explore what he means by that.
What Plexus Exposes about the American Church
It’s not a new discussion. Ever since it hit the market, there’s been tense controversy over it. So why would I dare waste my morning writing a few thousand words that may only cause more arguments?
Because Plexus exposes something about the American church. Not the product itself, although I do plan to share a few statistics and resources concerning it. But rather, the phenomenon of Plexus Worldwide exposes something about the hearts of American christians.
This article is not about finalizing an opinion on the brand, but on what it exposes and how to deal with it. This issue has everything to do with the future spiritual life and health of the church. That’s why I feel compelled to address it.
What I Learned about Discipleship From 18 Months on Drew Street
I think the church in general misunderstands discipleship. We like programs where we go out and invite people to come to our building, tell them a cute Bible lesson, and then send them home. That way we don’t have to deal with them day in and day out. We can choose when we want to “minister” and when we don’t.
A couple of months ago I heard the news that a friend of mine became, in his words, “a child of God.” I never felt so excited!
While I wasn’t there for that experience, I had the privilege of walking with him through quite a bit in the last couple of years. You see, this friend was our fourteen year-old neighbor on Drew Street, a street in North Eastern Los Angeles notorious for crime and drug dealing.
