On the last several Sundays, our gospel readings have challenged us to return home from our self-imposed exile.

By her persistence and humility, the Canaanite woman received the deliverance of her da…

Unless we are very careful, it is easy to fall prey to the temptation of defining holiness in ways that serve our preconceived notions, which may have very little to do with finding the healing of our souls by sharing more fully in the life of the Savior by grace. We often see righteousness through the lens of our own sensibilities about worldly di…

It is easy to overlook how often the Lord used money and possessions to convey a spiritual message. Perhaps that is because almost everyone struggles with being overly attached to material things, for they can meet our basic physical needs and provide comfort and a sense of security. Due to our self-centered desires, however, they so easily become …

There are a number of ideas that are bantered around so much within our Christian culture that people assume they are unquestioned truth, when they are anything but that. Here’s one such idea: Spiritual leaders must be seminary-trained pastors. That idea is non-Biblical, serves to hinder the growth of the Kingdom, and discourages thousands of Chris…

Good time management recognizes the universal temptation to do more and become ‘too busy. Unfortunately, to continue to try to do “more” is a frustrating strategy that eventually causes great pain: strained relationships, health problems, a sense of helplessness, less effective work, and, in some cases, emotional and physical burnout. Dave Kahle is…

We all know that the country is more divided than at any time in recent memory.

How do we adjust our careers and our businesses to survive and thrive in this muddle…

Every Christian understands that there are certain fundamentals of the Christian faith, and that ‘giving’ is one of them. And while we have all heard lots of sermons about the need to give, and give generously, very few of us have heard any Biblical teaching on an important aspect of that giving – “To whom should we give?” And “How should we give i…

I explain the difference between obedience…

Today is the Sunday before the Feast of Theophany (or Epiphany), when we celebrate Christ’s baptism in the river Jordan and the revelation that He is truly the Son of God.

One of Christianity’s greatest failures has been the separation of the church from the world of business and commerce – acting on the premise that there are some things which are secular, and others which are sacred. Christian companies and their owners and executives must share some of the blame, as they have been comfortable following the worldly…

As we conclude our preparation for celebrating the Lord’s Nativity, we must resist the temptation to corrupt this blessed season into an excuse for glorifying ourselves in any way.

When Jesus Christ was teaching in a synagogue on the Sabbath, he saw a woman who was bent over and could not straighten up. She had been that way for eighteen years. The Lord said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.” When He laid hands on her, she was healed. When the woman stood up straight again, she glorified God. As was often the…

Most Christians are woefully misinformed when it comes to understanding the role of business people in the Kingdom. They often have misconceptions about what is expected from a Christian in business. As a result, they compartmentalize business from their Christianity, and rob themselves and those around them of a more fulfilled life. Dave Kahle is …

As we welcome Christ into our lives and world at His Nativity, we must remain focused.

On the last couple of Sundays, our gospel readings have reminded us what not to do if we want to prepare to welcome Christ into our lives and world at His Nativity.

We are all too often incredibly busy – but with the wrong things. Activity becomes addictive and we become automatons, forever pursuing the satisfaction of accomplishment but rarely assessing the value of that accomplishment. We do it because it’s there, not because we have decided to do it. Intentionality suffers as activity prospers. We run the r…

It is worth asking what we want to achieve by practicing our faith. Why do we come to church, pray, fast, give to the needy, forgive our enemies, confess our sins, and otherwise struggle to reorient our lives toward God? Perhaps we do these things because we want to put God in our debt so that He will do our will. Maybe we want to become socially r…

Does God really care for me? How do I know? Those are two questions that Christians often ask. One way to answer them is to reflect on the occasions when God has intervened in our lives… protection and provision. I recently had an occasion to share a series of events in my life that I have labeled as ‘traveling mercies.’ In this podcast, I’m sharin…
