November 21, 2011 by Jim Wright 11 Comments

For the religious, the road to grace is the toughest journey they’ll ever face. But slowly, I’m finally starting to find it.

I Saw Satan Fall

October 20, 2011 by Jim Wright 1 Comment

Confession, forgiveness and repentance have become forgotten ordinances that we have twisted into ineffective spiritual abstractions. As a result, most churches have lost the ability to meaningfully administer those graces today.

Transparent

April 17, 2010 by Jim Wright 1 Comment

My spiritual DNA — the way God put me together — makes me instinctively encourage others to give away what God has given them. Sharing God’s blessings is a key component to spiritual growth, I’ve found. I often teach and minister in a faith-based dorm at the local jail. Rather than me “leading” this Friday, [...]

Whole Health

March 5, 2010 by Jim Wright 0 Comments

The more pastoral counseling I do, the more I realize how often people deal with life’s traumas, hurts and disappointments by suppressing their hearts and their spirits. Instead of being healthy, integrated people, they numb out or otherwise retreat exclusively into the realm of their minds — i.e., their analytical logic and reason. They are [...]

Repentance, Forgiveness and the Kingdom of God

February 13, 2010 by Jim Wright 2 Comments

That, in turn, allows us to know the righteousness, peace and joy that comes [...]

Regeneration

November 2, 2009 by Jim Wright 1 Comment

Fellowship and Light

June 1, 2009 by Jim Wright 1 Comment

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:  But if we walk in the light, as he [...]

Conversion

April 11, 2009 by Jim Wright 6 Comments

It’s interesting how God sometimes returns us to our spiritual roots, even while we are pressing forward in the faith. Forty-three years ago on Easter Sunday, 1966, I became a Christian at eight years of age in response to a sermon preached by George Batson. George was then a young Assemblies of God pastor starting [...]
