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...

Ma'Khia Bryant, LeBron James, and Derek Chauvin (Part 1 of 2)

Episode 40

On April 20th, the same day the verdict came in on the Chauvin trial, Ma'Khia Bryant was shot and killed by a police officer. National tensions reignited, and LeBron James fueled them with a tweet that many took to be a call to dox and harm the officer. But what are the facts of this case? Was the shooting justified? Are children capable of evil, and should they be held responsible for the evil they commit? Should the officer be charged?

Join us in this episode to talk about these things and their implications for race and police relations in the country.

Introduction to the Removing Barriers Podcast

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... With the civil unrest,  heightened political climate, changing American culture, and the inability to act ually go door-to-door witnessing due to COVID-19, my wife and I decided to start a podcast with the sole purpose of sharing the gospel by addressing the many obstacles preventing others from seeing the cross of Jesus clearly. In Acts 2, Peter preached to the Jews and presented to them Jesus Christ the Messiah. This was because the Jews already knew about God the creator, sin, and sin's consequences. The barrier that needed to be removed was whether Jesus was the Messiah. Contrast that with Acts 17, where Paul preached to the Athenians and defended the faith by proving that the unknown God they ignorantly worshiped was the creator of the world. Notice that while the message of the...

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.

After It is All Said and Done

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... It is great to know that despite all the happenings of 2020 that God is still on His throne and is in full control of COVID-19, the elections this week, and the aftermath in the weeks to come. No matter who wins the presidency or whether there is a vaccine for COVID-19, our commitment and obedience to the Lord as Bible believing Christians should not wavier.   Here are 3 things that will remain the same after the results are known: 1. The sun will rise the next day. Genesis 8:22 declares “ While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. ” Praise the Lord that these things are not controlled by our elected representatives in political offices but by the God who sits on His throne. It is the same God who rules ...
