When you think of boldness, especially in the context of faith and sharing the gospel, what images spring to mind? Do you picture yourself as a bold person? Imagine if your life were infused with spirit-filled boldness. What exactly does that look like?
Let’s look together at some historical and biblical examples of boldness as well as some practical steps to bold witnessing.
Gratitude for God’s enduring faithfulness and unwavering compassion should be a central theme during Thanksgiving—reminding us to appreciate and be thankful for the good things we have. But it shouldn’t stop there.
For believers, it is our exclusive right and privilege to praise God sincerely and superlatively for His unending faithfulness.
There are four specific ways we can see how God is always and ever faithful.
Justification is the gracious act—not a process—of God in which God declares [pronounces] righteous the sinner who believes on Jesus. This great doctrine is under attack from the most unsuspected sources—even those who outwardly espouse it.

Fear is an interesting emotion. Take a moment, and ask yourself about your fears. What are you afraid of? Deep down in your mind, what fears show up in your thinking over and over?

What do we mean when we claim that the Bible is the inspired Word of God? Many would agree that the Bible is a sacred book. Many are willing to concede that, but they do not believe that it is the only sacred book.

We can see a biblical example of this kind of error in Matthew 22:29 where the Sadducees used human reason to deny the […]
No man is an island, and no Christian who willfully neglects corporate prayer can thrive as God intends. God has made the people of His church mutually dependent─and this in such a way that unity among God’s people in corporate prayer opens the door to fresh spiritual blessing.
