Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on earth. Children do not come with a user manual that tells you how to troubleshoot their problems and keep them functioning properly. Most of what we learn about parenting, we learn by observation and by trial and error. Sometimes it feels like more error than trial. It […]

Some years ago, I came across an interesting trend in the corporate world, especially among technology companies. Companies were hiring people to promote their brand or products and referring to them as “evangelists.” I grew up in church, and until then, I had never heard anyone other than a traveling preacher referred to as an […]
The post Soul Winning Words: Evangelize (Acts 8:1-4) appeared first on Philadelphia Baptist Church.
Most people don’t like to stand out from the crowd. Something in our nature urges us to go along with what appears to be the popular opinion of the moment. Perhaps it is our desire to be accepted or to feel validated, but whatever the cause, we are all susceptible to being swept along with […]
The post Cultural Christians (Matthew 27:20) appeared first on Philadelphia Baptist Church.
God expects His people to cooperate. The job He has given us is too big for any of us to do alone. It requires the participation of every member of His body, each individual doing their part to contribute to the success of the whole.Unfortunately, our sinful pride often inhibits our cooperation. We get jealous […]

Soul-winning is more than handing out a tract or sharing a brief gospel presentation at someone’s doorstep. Those are good and right, but there is much more involved in the process that we must not overlook. The Bible uses many different words to describe how the gospel was given out and how the lost were […]

The post An Aaron’s Heart (Exodus 4:14) appeared first on Philadelphia Baptist Church.
It has been rightly said, “The heart of the matter is a matter of the heart.” The output and the outcome of our lives are not determined by external causes, such as our environment or upbringing. They are not determined by physical causes, such as diseases and disorders. Those things certainly influence our lives but […]

No character in history other than Jesus Christ has had more influence in the world than the man Abraham. Three major world religions have come from his family line: Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.

The importance of unity among any group of people cannot be overstated, especially among the body of Christ in the local church. Satan knows that if he can divide us, he can defeat us, and therefore, he works hard to cause divisions in the church. Often, these divisions are not about sinful things, but merely […]
The post Striving Together (Philippians 1:27) appeared first on Philadelphia Baptist Church.
When it comes to giving and receiving comfort, the matter can be perfectly summed up in just two words: “It’s complicated.” Grief is an intensely personal struggle. No two circumstances are the same. No two people are the same. This means that what is helpful and comforting to us as we work through the emotions […]

In 1969, researcher Elizabeth Kübler-Ross published a book entitled “Death and Dying” in which she outlined what is commonly called the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

Any time two sinners interact with each other, there is the potential for conflict. Sometimes, that conflict can rise to such a level that it creates a rift.

It is incredible how people born to the same parents and raised in the same home can turn out completely opposite.

Growing up is an odd thing. We spend much of our time as children trying to act like grown-ups, and then some grown-ups spend a lot of their time acting like kids. The difference between children and adults is maturity. However, we do not expect adults to act like kids; we expect them to act […]

The Bible has a lot to say about money. Much of our life revolves around money, whether it is earning, saving, spending, or investing.
