A Warm Invitation to Church

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Matthew 4:19 (And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.) “I do not care if you ever darken the doors of my church.” I would often say this to folks I am sharing the gospel with. My wife Jay did not like the tone of that statement and asked me to stop saying it. Tone aside, however, I mean it. I first said it to a person who accused me of evangelizing because I want more people to come to my church so offerings can increase. Our youth pastor lamented in a recent sermon, “We invite folks to a location rather than to the Person of Jesus Christ. That captures perfectly what I have felt all along. Too often, Bible believing Christians make it a habit to invite folks to a location. I decided years ago that I will never invite anyone to church without first tryin

DW, How Were Your Barriers Removed?

Episode 25

Series: How Were Your Barriers Removed - 4

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 declares “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”

If there was ever a person who epitomized the phrase “And such were some of you” it would be DW. DW was a fornicator and an enemy of God before he was “washed” and “justified” when he came to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

DW is a former Marine, a father, and a husband.  He has a desire to serve the Lord and evangelize the lost. He regularly shares the gospel of Jesus Christ, the same gospel that change his life, and seeks opportunities to do so.

Listen as DW shares his barriers to salvation, how he was confronted with the deity of Christ, and how his barriers were finally removed.

The Sad State of Basic Theology (Part 1 of 3)

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds...   Episode 9 This is the first of a 3-part series on the Sad State of Basic Theology. Recently, Answers in Genesis published an article about a study conducted by Ligonier Ministries. You will be as surprised as we were at what evangelicals believe about basic doctrines of Bible. Is our culture in the state it is in because there is no difference between the saved and the unsaved? Is the doctrine of the Bible under attack because those who would defend and live by it no longer believe it? Listen to the episode for our answers. We ended the episode with the wonderful hope that can be found in fact that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and resurrected for even our littlest sins, and th

The Barrier of Experience

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... "We have also a more sure word..."—2 Peter 1:19   So many people rely on their experience more than the Word of God. The apostle Peter, however, exhorted his readers that though his firsthand experience was a reliable eyewitness account, God's Word was "more sure." The Bible is completely reliable and trustworthy. It was a brisk morning. I rapped on the door to a nice home in a newer development on the outskirts of Great Falls, Montana. A lady in her mid-thirties answered, and her husband was inside near the door as we spoke. I quickly found out they were Mormons. When I inquired as to how she thought she was "saved," she mentioned several experiences she had since becoming Mormon. I referenced the verses that make up the context in which 2 Peter 1:19 is n
