3 Blessings We Miss When We Refuse to Accept Less Mature Christians
May I pose a question? Does acceptance occur before or after change? Consider the truth that is revealed in Ephesians 1:6, Jesus “…made us accepted in the beloved…,” and then began the process of conforming us to His image!

Spiritual Building Blocks for the Christian Life—Part 7
My father in law served as an assistant fire chief during his career in Northern California. I am always intrigued with the many stories that he has shared with me. From massive building fires to forest fires, he has fought them all.

Partial Consecration Is Not Enough

Profile picture for user Dr. Tim Cruse
By Dr. Tim Cruse, Saturday, February 20, 2016
God Wants All of You
Would you consider yourself a consecrated Christian? One who is wholly given to God, seeking to honor Him in body and spirit in every way possible? Or, is there an area of your life that still belongs to yourself; some area that you “sort of” honor God in, but do not want to go “too far” in or “miss out” because of?

11 Questions to Help Decide Questionable Activities

Discerning between Right and Wrong in Questionable Areas
People who call themselves Christians are involved in just about every activity you can possibly imagine, and sometimes attempt to justify very ungodly actions by claiming that they are ministering to others through their sinful lifestyles. As we live in a culture that tolerates every type of life and justifies every type of lifestyle, how can we know what we should and shouldn’t do, especially in questionable areas?

Soulwinning Must Be Done in the Power of the Holy Spirit

10 Indicators of a Spirit-Filled Leader

A Spirit-Filled Leader Will Posses These 10 Qualities
Our 2010 theme for Lancaster Baptist Church is "By His Spirit." Truly, the Holy Spirit's filling is a "must have" for every spiritual leader. Without His ministry in and through our lives, we will not properly fill the leadership roles in which God has placed us. But through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can see Him do the impossible!
