By Phil Congdon Good morning. My name is John. I’m here to tell you my story, a story that really isn’t remarkable at all. In fact, if you had known me during my life you would probably say I was just an ‘average Joe,’ nothing special, certainly not a model Christian. Maybe that’s why I’m […]
The death of Christ has a surprising connection to the call to discipleship, a point illustrated by studying two of the Lord’s parables in Luke (Luke 14:28-30, 31-32): Now great multitudes went with Him.

John explains, “these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.” (John 20:30-31, emphasis added). In the KJV, the phrase “eternal life” is used […]
Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness (Rom 4:4-5). “These words present to us mysterious and strange governing principles in the Kingdom of Christ. Unworthy ones […]
In some recent blogs I wondered aloud if Christians in America today could look at certain things going on around us and conclude that judgment is coming to our country. It is interesting that just today I was listening to the radio on the way to work. Rush Limbaugh was quoting a recent survey that […]
