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.

Nika Holbert: A Soul for which Christ Died

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 35 In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we discussed the shooting incident involving Nika Holbert and officer Baker.  Rather than focusing on facts versus misinformation, or even on who was right or wrong based on those facts, we focused on the human beings involved. Human life is precious. So precious, in fact, that God sent His only begotten Son to die for us. In this episode we addressed the calloused comments made about Nika, the dangers of looking at the facts and neglecting the human being behind the facts, the cultural aspects that may lead to people like Nika, what things can be done to reach folks like Nika, and what she should represent to Bible believing Christians.

Salvation: By Works?

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 32 DW joined us in this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast where we discussed whether salvation is by works or by grace alone through faith alone.   We looked at a number of good works and searched the scriptures as to whether they are capable of saving us from eternal separation from a holy God. Some of the good works we looked at are: Keeping the Golden rule or the 10 Commandments Giving Money and/or Time Making Religious Pilgrimages Proselytizing Religious ceremonies Baptism and why was Jesus baptized We then explored the scriptures to determine if salvation is by grace or by faith. Are the books of James and Romans contradictory? Was Jesus proclaiming salvation by works when he declared, “I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat?”   What about the Old Testament? W...
