- Homemade Gods (37:08)
The only lasting cure for idolatry is a fervent love for God. The hardest step is seeing our idols in the first place.
- Empty on the Inside (38:18)
If you don’t know God, it’s not God’s fault. God has already done everything necessary for you to have a relationship with him. - He Doesn’t Need Your Help (35:53)
The gospel begins with God. It doesn’t begin with Jesus or with us. The divine plan of salvation begins with the God who designed it.

“If I Struggle With Sin, Does that Mean I’m Not Saved?”
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, October 11, 2011
From the question box:If a believer continues to struggle with any sin after confessing it to God and asking for deliverance, does that mean he was never saved?The answer is no. Struggle with sin is the common experience of Christians everywhere. James 3:2 says, “We all stumble in many ways.” Romans 7:23 speaks of a “war&rdq...
Where Were You on 9/11?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, September 11, 2011
Where were you when you heard the news ten years ago today? And what do you remember about that day?I was in my basement office at home, preparing for the staff meeting that would start at church at 9 AM. Around 8:30 AM Marlene called to say, “Turn on the TV. A plane has hit the World Trade Center.” I remember watching the unfolding sto...
Is Tim Tebow a Blasphemer?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, August 16, 2011
Gregg Doyel thinks so.You don’t have to take my word for it. Doyel, national columnist for CBSSports.com, says so in his column called Unbelievable–Tebow Believes Faith Equates to Starting in the NFL. This is Doyel’s conclusion:Tebow has been a great billboard for Christianity – just as Muhammad Ali has been a great bil...

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, May 31, 2011
During the five Wednesday nights in June I will be teaching an evening series called “Why Christianity Makes Sense” at Lifeline Fellowship in Tupelo. The church is located at 100 Parkgate Drive in Tupelo. Each session begins at 7 PM. I will introduce the topic and then we will have an open question and answer time. We’re focusing ...
Have I Committed the Unpardonable Sin?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, May 24, 2011
An email arrived from someone who wonders if their past is so bad that God will not forgive them. Have they sinned so much and so greatly that their sin is quite literally unpardonable? The answer is not hard to find. There is such a thing as the unpardonable sin. Jesus spoke of it in Matthew 12:30-37. And in answer to the question, I can say ...

Can We Shorten Our Life?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, February 16, 2011
I received an email from someone troubled by the death of a good friend. Here is the issue put simply:My friend abused himself by eating junk food and excusing it by saying God made all good food to eat and He would live just as long as God intended him to live. To make matters worse, he had already had several heart attacks and couldn’t walk…
Visit to Dalian University of Technology – New Video
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, November 11, 2010
On Sunday, October 17, God opened the door for a major speaking event in China. Despite official opposition and repeated attempts to shut down the event and a last-second change of venue, almost 500 students came to Dalian University of Technology to hear me speak about “The Wisdom of Solomon."
Sermon video: “Did I Make a Mistake?”
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, October 13, 2010
There are going to be many opportunities for us to look back and regret or second-guess decisions that we have made. If we are not careful, this can lead to a kind of paralysis and hinder our ability to make good, positive decisions in the present and future....

New Video: Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, September 25, 2010
Of all the questions that trouble the people of God, none is greater than the problem of human suffering. Why do bad things happen to good people? Or why do the wicked prosper while the righteous take it on the chin? Eventually these questions become very personal. Why did my husband leave me after 15 years? Why did God allow my daughter to die in ...
Q and A video – Should Christians Be Involved in Politics?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, August 30, 2010
The last election was mean-spirited and it was hard to discern between truth and lies. Should Christians separate from political activism and focus on “Christian work” instead?
FAQs video – “Am I Truly a Christian?”
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, August 24, 2010
A missionary I was speaking with recently told me that he sometimes wonders “Am I truly a Christian"? I was surprised by this because he has been faithful in his service to Christ for many decades. But I do not look down on him for his doubts and believe that all or most Christians ask this question from time to time.
FAQs Video - What’s the difference between a religious person and a real Christian?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, August 13, 2010
What’s the difference between a real Christian and a religious person?This question originally came from an unsigned slip of paper turned in during a congregational survey when I served as pastor in Oak Park, Illinois. Whoever wrote this question deserves an A+ for creativity and for getting right to the point. The wording suggests that the...

When You Are Unfairly Accused
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, July 27, 2010
An email arrived from a friend with some discouraging news. She and her husband had launched out on a new venture that, so far at least, has not worked out, putting them in some financial difficulty. A friend at their church urged them to consider applying for help from a fund set up for that purpose (I am leaving out some identifying details). Wha...
Cannon Beach Q and A, Part 3
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, July 11, 2010
Would you comment on predestination versus free will?How much time do we have? Not enough to cover this vast subject. The question implies that predestination (which the Bible unquestionably teaches–see Romans 8:29 and Ephesians 1:5) and free will somehow oppose each other. But as Spurgeon pointed out when asked how he “reconciled&rdquo...

Cannon Beach Q and A, Part 2
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, July 10, 2010
I’m a modest person and I don’t even like undressing at the doctor’s office. If God is always watching us, and angels are always with us, does this mean when my spouse and I are having sex that we have an audience?The short answer is yes. This is part of the doctrine of God’s omnipresence. Read Psalm 139 and you will see how...

Maybe you shouldn’t have changed jobs.Maybe you shouldn’t have bought that new house.Maybe you shouldn’t have moved to a new city.Maybe you shouldn’t have taken that big promotion.What do you do then? It’s always easy to look back and criticize yourself for the decisions you made years ago. We’ve all done our sha...
New sermon audio – Can We Still Believe in Life After Death?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, April 7, 2010
We have a new podcast about a question posed by religious leaders who wanted to trick Christ. This topic that matters just as much today as it did 2,000 years ago when Christ was asked about it: Can we believe in life after death?

How Are You Different From Anyone Else?

“If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else?” (Matthew 5:47 NLT)You never know what will grab someone’s heart.Mosab Hassan Yousef grew up as a Muslim. From an early age, he studied the Koran, memorized its teachings, said the daily prayers, and followed the way of Islam as faithfully as he could....

The Trinity and Salvation
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, November 5, 2009
Someone read one of my sermons on salvation and asked the following question:Does a person have to “understand” the Trinity to be saved? What if they believe in God the Father and Jesus as his son, but can’t really grasp the whole “One God in three persons” thing? I think the answer goes like this. You don’t have...
When Not to Have Lunch
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, October 5, 2009
I was asked recently about Paul’s statement in 1 Corinthians 5:9-11 that there are times when we should not even eat with a sinning believer:I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case yo...

Two Questions from 1 Timothy 5
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, October 29, 2008
Here are two questions that arrived via email:1.) “Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers” (1 Timothy 5:1 NKJV). I wanted to get your understanding of this verse. How would a younger man deal with confronting an older man who is in sin? How does Matthew 18 apply in this case? If an older man is i...
