In Matthew 24 Jesus said to his disciples, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14).
Jesus is coming back, but first the gospel will be preached to every nation, every people group. This is both a sign of his coming, and also a way to usher in his coming -- by getting t...

Thoughts during the night
1. Anything in excess is an idol against the One true God.
2. An idol is any created thing.
3. Satan and his evil ways always mirror the Truth of Jesus Christ and confuse many.
4. Satan doesn't come up with any new tactics to take people's eyes off of Jesus, he just uses the idols of that day that fits into our society.

To go along with Chris's message on Sunday about "quietening" down (that's my takeaway) our lives in order to be able to hear God better, I have a personal story that relates to that.

While authenticity is a big buzz word in our culture right now, most of us aren't authentic enough to admit that being authentic is just too costly.
