The Cause of Christ

We are designed to follow a cause, not just live a life of quiet devotion.

The early church carried a weight most modern believers have never felt: a sense of moral obligation. They could not walk away.

They could not stand by and watch the vulnerable go abused, the helpless go un-helped. Faith was never private for them.

Faith was a cause, the cause of Christ.

That cause changed governments. It changed unjust laws. It dismantled the traditions of demon worship across entire continents. It worked because the church refused to separate the Lordship of Jesus from the Kingship of Christ.

Modern Christianity is comfortable saying "Jesus is Lord." It grows uneasy the moment someone says "Christ is King," because King demands territory, not just devotion.

Jesus didn't send His church out with a suggestion. He declared total authority first, then commissioned. The gospel was never just an offer of forgiveness. It was, and is, a declaration of who rules.

If you have never felt the weight of that cause, you are not alone, and you are not without a way back.

This teaching is a call to feel it. To stop trading the mission for entertainment. To stop letting apathy hand ground back to the enemy while everyone else organizes for theirs.

To pick back up disciplined strength, real boundaries, and the courage the early church walked in.

The mission has not changed. It is time to obey it.

Christ is King. Live like it.

🌎World Changing Christianity🌍

Can you look at your children or your grandchildren and honestly say that you are living a life, and supporting ministries, that will make the world a better place for them and for the future? Many believers cannot.

Many know that their church, their pastor, their denomination will never stand for righteousness in the public square, will never push back against this increasingly evil culture.

In this teaching, I cover four principles that made the early church unstoppable, principles that must be brought back to our generation.

Scripture warns that it is possible to receive the grace of God in vain. It is not only returning to the works of the law for salvation after being saved by grace through faith, though that is a major part of it. In context, Paul is addressing something deeper: an unwillingness to suffer for righteousness' sake.

To show our purpose on this earth, Paul quotes Isaiah 49:8 which goes on to say, "say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places."

This shows our role in this new covenant.

We have the honor of telling the captives they are free, and of calling the wicked to be revealed, because everything has been made known to us. Every believer will stand before Jesus Christ one day and give an account, and it is because we understand this that we persuade men to turn to Christ and are willing to give our lives for the gospel.

This is what the early church understood.

They lived as the temple of the living God, not as people who simply knew the theology but as people whose lives proved it.

That truth has to stop being something we merely know and become the life we actually live. When it does, it becomes effective again, the way it was for the early church, and it is this same world-changing power the modern church is reawakening to.

Occupy Till He Comes

We don't have to tolerate the decline.

Many Christians have been taught to expect a Great Falling Away and simply brace for it, as if surrender is the only faithful response left. But Scripture never asks us to accept decline as our inheritance. It calls us to stand.

Yes, Paul warns in 2 Timothy 3 that perilous times are coming, that people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, holding a form of godliness while denying its power. But he never says that outcome is guaranteed for you.

He even points back to Jannes and Jambres, the sorcerers who stood against Moses in Egypt, and reminds us how that ended: their folly was made plain to everyone, and their opposition did not prevail. The example is not a warning to brace for defeat. It is a promise that obedience outlasts opposition.

History bears this out on a national scale. Nations that were once warriors for the faith, once prosperous and blessed because of Christianity, have fallen into desolation precisely where they lost their working understanding of what the church was called to be and do.

Prosperity did not protect them. Only obedience does. We have to make sure that does not happen on our watch, in our generation.

In this teaching, working through Psalm 110, we look at what it means to actually operate in verses 1 through 4, the reign, the rule, the willing army rising in the day of God's power, the priesthood that never ends, while leaving verses 5 and 6 where they belong: in God's timing, not ours.

At any time, in any generation, in any place, the choice is the same. Submit yourself fully to God, then actively resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

This is not a call to panic about the end. It is a call to occupy until He comes, to be what Jesus Christ ordained us to be in the earth right now, in this generation, without waiting for permission or bracing for defeat.

The falling away does not have to happen on our watch. Keep obeying God, keep walking in what He has called you to do, and let folly expose itself.

Christ Is King. Live Like It.
