Christians should differ from non-Christians in every realm, not just the religious realm.
We should differ from non-Christians not simply because we show up at church on the weekend or attend a midweek Bible study.
Rather, we should differ from non-Christians because we conduct our businesses differently, we treat our spouses differently, and we raise our children differently. Our values should be different from those of non-Christians.
People need to see this in our lives, but all too often, it simply isn’t happening.
Paul wrote to the Christians in Ephesus, “So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days” (Ephesians 5:15–16 NLT).
If we want to impact our world like the first-century believers did, then we have to get back to the principles they applied. It starts with the Christianity they practiced.
We want to bring help and hope to the people of Maui who still reeling from the effects of these fires. Here is an update on what we are are doing.If you want to help, go to https://t.co/P7HTTvsQKP
SO many people are seeing @JesusRevMovie for the first time on @netflix
It continues to trend, which is great news because Netflix has 75 million subscribers in the US.
Have you see the film yet?
What did you think?
Have a watch party in your home. I can confidently tell you, if you get someone to watch it to the end you will be able to have an evangelistic conversation and may even see them come to the Lord.
Jesus Revolution is a powerful tool to share your faith. Put it to good use!
One of this year’s top-grossing faith-affirming films, “Jesus Revolution,” is available on Netflix in the United States, where a reported 75 million Americans are subscribers.

15 years.
That’s how long it has been since I saw my oldest son Christopher.
15 years since I heard his voice, saw him laugh or held him close.
And today, July 24th, 2023 marks that date.
That’s a long time to be separated from someone you love.
Our son was called home unexpectedly 15 years ago today, and we miss him so much.
He died in an automobile accident.
It was the worst day of my life.
But things have changed over the years.
We have experienced the comfort that only God can give.
I just baptized both of his daughters, Stella and Lucy.
They are both beautiful young ladies now, following the Lord.
This is a video that was part of a project we did 10 years ago titled, “Hope For Hurting Hearts”.
It was only 5 years earlier that Christopher had gone home to Heaven.
The pain was still raw, the void large, the emotions rising to the surface.
It’s honest and at the same time, hopeful.
In this video I say of the day we heard the worst news a parent could ever hear “Strangely in this dark place, God was there and I sensed His presence.”
That is still true today.
My hope is that for the Christian, death is not the end.
I will see my son Christopher again.
Maybe you have recently lost a loved one, and you don’t know how you will cope.
God will be there for you too.
Just call out to Him.
Psalm 34:18 says that “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted: He rescues those whose spirits are crushed”.
I have put this and many other passages to the test and found them all to be true.
Thank for this great hope.
Besides, we never really lose loved ones who have died in faith.
You can’t lose someone if you know where they are.
