Straight Truth Podcast

Spiritual drift is a subtle danger. You can maintain outward religious habits—attending church, reading Scripture, even leading others—while your heart grows cold toward God. True spiritual health is not just activity; it is affection for Christ. When we lose sight of the gospel and our future glory, we become earthbound and indifferent. Do not let apathy take root. Examine your heart today. Are you drifting?

The recent tragedy in Canada compels us to examine the roots of violence through the lens of Scripture. James 3 speaks of a wisdom that is earthly, natural, and demonic, which produces disorder and every evil thing. When a culture affirms the rejection of God's design in creation, confusion and chaos inevitably follow. True identity is found only in the Creator, not in self creation. We must hold fast to the Gospel, which offers the only hope for the enslaved heart.

Scripture commands us to withdraw from those who call themselves brothers yet walk in open rebellion. This is not hatred but a severe mercy meant to shame them into repentance. We cannot share fellowship with darkness or pretend that sin does not exist. To eat with an unrepentant professing Christian as if nothing is wrong is to deceive them about their standing before God. True love seeks the restoration of the soul, even if it requires the pain of separation.

The training of men for the gospel ministry is a sacred trust committed to the local church. It cannot be adequately fulfilled by academic institutions alone, where individualism and anonymity often prevail. We must return to a model of life on life discipleship, where a man’s calling is tested and his character is forged under the oversight of faithful shepherds. This is the vision behind our new initiative to raise up future pastors.

Biblical waiting is never a state of passive inactivity but rather a rigorous exercise of faith. When the Scriptures command us to wait for the Lord, we are called to preach truth to our hearts regarding God's sovereignty and goodness. Whether we face the silence of unanswered prayer or the burden of injustice, we do not fret. Instead, we continue in faithful obedience. If we are submitted to the Lordship of Christ, we can trust the desires He places in our hearts to guide our decisions. True waiting involves working out our salvation with fear and trembling, knowing it is God who works in us.

Dear church family,

Pastor Josh and I have been monitoring weather reports and forecasts all day, prayerfully trying to make the best decision we can regarding tomorrow's worship schedule.

One source that seems to be especially trustworthy and free of hype is Space City Weather. The latest report (3:45 pm) indicates that large areas of the city (pretty much anything except toward the coast), including our area (Spring/Woodlands) will be hazardous for driving all day tomorrow. The recommendation is no travel except for emergencies (spacecityweather.com).

You know the priority we place on public worship gatherings. We would never want to cancel worship services. You also know the fickle nature of Houston weather, so we are all aware that we could wake up in the morning to something different than what has been forecasted. But given the time necessary to notify everyone, and what we now believe to be the wisest and safest choice, we have decided to cancel services tomorrow.

The next time we meet, then, is for Truth and Love next Friday evening at 6:00 pm. Please spend the Lord's Day tomorrow in a way that reflects the worship of our great God. Seek His face with your family in prayer and Bible study. Pray for the Truth in Love conference and come on Friday anticipating what our God will do in our hearts.

In the love of Christ,

Pastor Richard

To tremble before the Almighty is appropriate for the sinner who stands under the wrath of God. Yet, for the one who is in Christ Jesus, the terror of condemnation has been silenced by the cross. We do not fear the Lord with the cowering dread of a criminal awaiting a sentence but with the deep reverence of a son who delights in his Father. Perfect love casts out the torment of judgment because our judgment fell upon the Savior. While we heed the warnings of Scripture as essential guardrails for our souls, we rest securely in the finished work of Christ.

The world is filled with unrest, from local politics to global conflicts. It is easy to feel overwhelmed by the drama. Yet, Christ calls His people to a different standard. In John 16, Jesus promised tribulation but assured us of His victory. We must not engage the culture like those who do not know God. True peace is found only in Christ, not in political outcomes. If we lose sight of eternity, we lose our ability to navigate temporal realities with faith.
