    They tested God in their heart    by demanding the food they craved.They spoke against God, saying,    “Can God spread a table in the wilderness?He struck the rock so that water gushed out    and streams overflowed.Can He also give bread    or provide meat for His people?” (Psalm 78:18-20) When we look at the history of Israel–how God chose them, delivered them, and…

    Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered him,…

    In the previous post (“On Rebuilding: Starting from the Ground Up”), we saw how Ezra and the Jewish exiles returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple—the centerpiece of all Israel. We mentioned that this is not unlike our own struggles to rebuild our lives, especially after things happen that rip life apart. We further mentioned…

    They shall build up the ancient ruins;    they shall raise up the former devastations;they shall repair the ruined cities,    the devastations of many generations (Isa. 61:4).

    Be appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked, be utterly desolate, declares the Lord, for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water (Jer. 2:12-13). Have you ever stopped and thought about just how foolish…

    See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I…

  • Toward Christ: On the Road to Growth and Change

    September 2, 2019
    The Shepherd’s Voice

    Today we begin a series about growing in Christ. It’s common for believers to reach a point where they ask, “Is that all there is? Am I missing something?” It’s my firm conviction, after 25+ years of walking with Christ, that they are indeed missing something. Not salvation. They are genuine believers who want to…

    What happens when our faith is shaken? Those around us seem to be enjoying the blessings of God, yet He seems deathly silent to us.

    There is a lot of talk about faith these days, both inside and outside the church. We speak of, “having faith,” “having enough faith,” “faith-based [instruction, care, etc.],” and others. It seems that much of the general population believes that faith is an okay word to talk about. It also seems that working definition of…

    If you’ve been in church or read the Bible for any length of time, you’re probably acquainted with the story of Joseph, the boy with the coat of many colors (Gen. 37, 39-50). As children, that’s sometimes the only thing we remember about him. But as we read more of the story, we find that…

That You May Know offers clear, Scripture-centered insight into one of the most crucial questions believers face: how we can know and live in the assurance of our salvation. Grounded in biblical truth and written with pastoral clarity, this concise commentary walks readers through the nature of salvation, the New Covenant, and the believer’s secure hope in Christ. The second edition features updated formatting for easier reading and new questions for reflection and study—making it ideal for both personal devotion and group discussion. Whether you’re exploring the foundations of faith or deepening your understanding of God’s saving work, this book will help you grow in confidence that you truly belong to Him.

Are you tired of a gospel that feels like just another set of rules to follow? In No Other Gospel, author Michael Floyd challenges the modern church to examine whether it has unwittingly embraced an “other gospel”—one that subtly shifts the focus from radical faith in Christ alone to a reliance on works and self-effort for God’s blessings.

Drawing from his own journey of wrestling with the true meaning of the gospel, Floyd unpacks the crucial difference between living under the realm of law with its blessings and curses, and the realm of faith, which is rooted in the character of God and submitted to His will.

Discover that the purpose of faith is not simply to attain a better life, but to glorify God and enjoy Him forever through a transformative relationship. This book is a call to lay aside the “filthy rags” of self-righteousness and embrace the new identity offered in the New Covenant—an identity empowered by the Spirit to live out of who we are in Christ, rather than striving to earn His favor. No Other Gospel challenges you to:

  • Understand the subtle ways the “other gospel” can creep into our lives and churches.
  • Grasp the liberating truth of living by the Spirit and not under the law.
  • Embrace the radical call to complete dependence on Christ for transformation.
  • See the church as a Spirit-led community defined by its devotion to making disciples.

This 10th Anniversary Edition, with updated language and formatting, is a powerful reminder that true freedom and growth come not from adhering to external standards, but from an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ and the life He has called us to.

The Gospel of John, more than any other, contains the central message of the Gospel. In it are found answers to questions such as, “What does it mean to believe? What is the new birth? How can I be saved?” This commentary takes a close look at the context and teachings of John’s testament of his time with Jesus. Written by an ordinary Christian, That You May Believe (and all of Today’s Disciple Commentaries) is designed to appeal to the everyday reader with little to no knowledge of the Bible or the original languages in which it was written. At the end is a handy study guide, with questions designed to help you think more deeply about John’s gospel and apply its many teachings to your life.

From the Back Cover: “Didn’t Jesus come to give us abundant life? Is this all there is?”

The question is asked often by sincere believers on their journey with Christ. It seems that life has become one series of chores after another, with no real joy, only moments of fleeting happiness. In Keys to the Kingdom, we take a journey toward change. Jesus did indeed promise abundant life to those who walk with Him. We’ll examine three basic questions: * Why do we seek change? * What is biblical change? * How do we change?

We are called to love God and love others, and this journey of change will move us toward that goal, as we become like Christ.

What if the abundant life promised by Christ isn’t about earthly success but something far greater?

In From Blessed to Transformed, Michael Floyd takes readers on a journey beyond the widely embraced but ultimately fleeting promises of the so-called “Blessed Life.” With clarity and conviction, he challenges the modern church’s fixation on material prosperity and personal comfort, calling believers back to the deeper, transformative power of the gospel.

This book isn’t just a critique—it’s an invitation. An invitation to embrace a faith that endures suffering, a hope that is unshakable, and a joy that transcends circumstances. Whether you are questioning what it means to truly follow Christ or seeking a faith that can weather life’s storms, From Blessed to Transformed will challenge, convict, and inspire.

Step beyond the temporary and into the eternal. The journey awaits.

The Modern Corinth

CHURCH IS MESSY. Jesus loves the church. It is not only His plan A – there is no plan B. But when believers from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives come together, challenges inevitably arise: * Divisions around preferred leaders * Sexual sin * Legal disputes * Conflict over non-essential but deeply held convictions * Marriage and the roles of men and women * Fellowship and communion * Spiritual gifts * Worship styles

Is there a common element to these challenges? If so, what is the answer? In The Modern Corinth, author Michael Floyd examines the American church through the lens of the problems faced by the church in 1 Corinthians. His central thesis – that all of these challenges were based in following worldly wisdom rather than holding fast to Scripture and the fundamentals of the gospel – provides a framework for examining the church in America and our own churches. Learn how godly wisdom and a focus on the Gospel can correct the errors of worldly wisdom in the modern American church – for her good and for His glory.
