McKnight Ministries

There's still time to sign up for our December trip to Italy and Greece.

We'll follow the journeys of Paul in these two countries.

Message me if you want more information.

Blessings!

"For God and Country"

This is the motto of the United States Army Chaplain Corps.

The motto is intentional, reminding Army chaplains they serve God first and their country second.

As a veteran and former Army infantry chaplain, I would humbly suggest to my fellow pastors that this motto suggests how we can love both without making our country an idol.

BTW, also, remember every time that you preach and lead your people in worship, some American service member is protecting your First Amendment right of freedom of religious expression.

Happy Independence Day!

"Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall." (1 Corinthians 10:12ESV)

This verse and the quote below are timely reminders to daily put on the full armor of God and stand in HIs strength.

"For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." (1 Corinthians 1:21-25 ESV)

The good news we bear as Christ-followers is not about us. It is the good news of Jesus Christ.

We should point people to Jesus in our conversations and sermons.

Jesus did not leave the throne of heaven to die on the cross so that we could build our own kingdoms. He bore the Father's wrath so that He could establish His Kingdom.

Preach Christ!
