DO YOU WANT A TRANSFORMED LIFE?

Everyone has old information in their minds. And, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). The information, opinions, beliefs, and values accumulated in our minds determine everything we do.

OUR JOB DESCRIPTION

OUR JOB DESCRIPTION

by Bill Elliff December 27, 2023

No follower of Christ needs to wonder at their task now. We have our commission with authority and clarity. We should rise every day to our task and, in the final hours of each day, evaluate what has been accomplished in our great mission that Christ Himself has given us.

GROWING OUR SPIRITUAL MUSCLES

GROWING OUR SPIRITUAL MUSCLES

by Bill Elliff July 14, 2023

To discipline means to train. The Greek word is “gymnasio,” from which we get “gymnasium.” We immediately associate this word with physical exercise, but the word has a far larger application. Paul warns his young disciple, Timothy, about the coming apostasy and what we must do to avoid it through a life of disciplined growth.

WORD-CENTERED, PRAYER-FILLED DISCIPLESHIP

by Bill Elliff March 27, 2023

If you are a true follower of Christ, you long to grow, but you also have a passion to help others grow. We are often intimidated by the thought of “discipling/mentoring” someone else, even though it’s our most important task and highest calling.

THE PURPOSEFUL CHASTENING OF THE FATHER

THE PURPOSEFUL CHASTENING OF THE FATHER

by Bill Elliff August 15, 2022

After one has come to Christ, one of the sobering realities is realizing that we are not immune to trouble. Somehow, we naïvely believe that all problems will be over because we’re now in Christ. “In this world,” Jesus said to His followers, “You will have tribulation.” Christ does not intend to deliver us from all troubles in this life. In fact, His empowering amid difficulties is the means of our greatest witness to others.

DO YOU WANT MORE OF GOD?

DO YOU WANT MORE OF GOD?

by Bill Elliff May 21, 2020

Physical hunger is an essential drive placed in us by God Himself. Without it, we would die from malnourishment in a matter of weeks. What is true in the physical is also true in the spiritual.

HOW TO NOT LOSE THE NEXT GENERATION

by Bill Elliff March 26, 2020

We are always one generation away from great loss. If we are not careful, we can hold important values but never successfully pass them on to those who come behind us. And the results are always disastrous. This pattern has been repeated through countless generations.

by Bill Elliff September 04, 2019

Giving encouragement and healthy applause to one you are mentoring is one of the most life-changing things you will ever do. Everyone you know (including yourself) wonders if they have what it takes—if they’ll make it and succeed in what matters.
