Skip Heitzig: A Moving Target Or Easy Prey

People who are not making progress in their spiritual walk are much easier for Satan to pick off. You're an easy target, like the stationary ones in the shooting gallery. But if you're making strides spiritually, he'll have a hard time bringing you down.

Skip Heitzig: Crucified With Christ And Dead To The Law That Condemned Me

If someone's been found guilty of murder and given a life sentence, but dies while serving that sentence, will the justice system continue to enforce that judgment?  No; the convicted person is no longer subject to that penalty. They're dead—they've been released from the sentence they were required to serve.

Skip Heitzig: Another Gospel

Paul said, "I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ" (Galatians 1:6-7). They were going back to bondage, back to legalism. He was shocked that the gospel was being perverted so soon. And this is a warning for us: If it happened so soon back then, think of the world we live in now.

Comfort Or Controversy?: Understanding The Rapture, The Debate, And The Choice That Defines Eternity

Of all the End Time events, the Rapture of the Church generates the most interest and the most controversy. I have a friend who wrote that the Rapture is third in the list of top 10 topics that have most divided the Church—right after COVID-19 vaccinations and the Harry Potter books! So what is the Rapture of the Church? Where did that idea come from? Is it a new idea as some purport? Is it something we should seriously consider; and if so, why? And when will it happen exactly?

Skip Heitzig: Does God ‘Help Those Who Help Themselves’?

My dad used to say, "You know, son, the Bible says, 'God helps those who help themselves.'" I grew up believing that—until I read the Bible and discovered it doesn't say that anywhere. Most Americans also believe that; 52 percent of practicing Christians, in fact. It sounds reasonable, even logical. But it's just not there.

Rise Of Humanism: The Phrase ‘Speak Your Truth’ Has Nothing To Do With Actual Truth

The rise of humanism (the idea that man is the measure of all things) has changed all of that. In today's world, the basis of truth has been moved from something that is objective—outside of us—to something that is subjective—inside of us. Everything is measured by how you feel about it. About a decade ago, I first heard the phrase: "I'm speaking my truth." Since when do you get to personalize it?

Skip Heitzig: Why Religious People Are The Hardest To Reach

Religious people are the hardest people to reach. They hold to some understanding and acknowledgment of God but nothing on a personal level, nothing too authentic. And sometimes that religion—that ritualistic shell—keeps the truth from penetrating.

For Paul, gain and loss were like the profit and loss columns in an accounting ledger. Paul admitted that he had counted wrong for years (see Philippians 3:7-8). He spent his whole life working on his religious résumé, and he had all these things in the profit column. But then he realized he was bankrupt before God.

Skip Heitzig: God Who Works In You

Christianity is more than just a decision to make Jesus your Savior. It's also a determination to walk with Jesus as your Lord. If you don't do that, you're going to become what so many in the church have become: pew potatoes—the spiritual equivalent of couch potatoes. They watch things happen, but they aren't "doers of the word" (James 1:22).

In a ‘Post Truth’ World, What Do Pastors Appeal To As Their Final Authority?

Post-truth. It’s a term some have heard. Essentially, it means objectivity has lost its footing to subjectivity; feelings and opinion are preferred over facts. What do churches (and especially pastors) appeal to as their final authority? Do they regard the Bible as God’s unchanging Word? His timeless, transcendent truth? Or is the Bible weighed along with societal norms and public sentiment?

Episode 5 from the series (Colossians - 2025) with Skip Heitzig.

Skip Heitzig: Atheism Has Slain Its Thousands, But Procrastination, Its Tens Of Thousands

In Acts 16, the Philippian jailer asked Paul, "What must I do to be saved?" (v. 30). And he said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved" (v. 31). But there's another question. "What must I do to be lost?" Answer: absolutely nothing. Don't turn to Christ. Don't make a choice. Put it off. That's why I say atheism has slain its thousands, but procrastination, its tens of thousands.

Skip Heitzig: Have You Left Your First Love?

Leaving your first love is seldom a blowout. It's usually a slow leak, like a car tire. You air it up, and a couple weeks later you've got to air it up again. So it is in our priorities with the Lord. We can get distracted gradually and leave slowly. We leave that first love.

Skip Heitzig: The Hope Of Christ’s Return Dominates The Bible

The second coming of Christ dominates the Bible; it's referenced 1,845 times. Next to faith, no subject is more discussed in Scripture. For every mention of the first coming, the second coming is mentioned eight times. For every time the atonement is mentioned, the second coming is mentioned twice. Jesus personally referred to His second coming twenty-one times, and we're urged to be ready for His coming no less than fifty times in Scripture.

Episode 4 from the series (Colossians - 2025) with Skip Heitzig.

Skip Heitzig: God’s Judgment And The Handwriting On The Wall

Your life is being weighed in God's balances. What does He find there? Because one day you will stand, not in a royal hall with handwriting on a wall, but in a judgment hall with handwriting in books (see Revelation 20:12, 15). The good news is in Jesus Christ. "Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross" (Colossians 2:14). Each breath we take, every heartbeat, is one of God’s gifts. Daniel 5 was Belshazzar's time. Ours is coming.

God Looks At The Heart Of Worship, Not The Appearance Of It

Cain was showing his heart there. He was a false worshiper because of his own pride and anger. He had the wrong attitude. God never separates the worship from the worshiper. He always looks at the heart. He sees the outward form of worship, whatever it may be—the raising of hands, the singing of songs, the giving of time or treasure—but He focuses on the person's heart.

Skip Heitzig: God Who Works In You

Christianity is more than just a decision to make Jesus your Savior. It's also a determination to walk with Jesus as your Lord. If you don't do that, you're going to become what so many in the church have become: pew potatoes—the spiritual equivalent of couch potatoes. They watch things happen, but they aren't "doers of the word" (James 1:22).

In a ‘Post Truth’ World, What Do Pastors Appeal To As Their Final Authority?

Post-truth. It’s a term some have heard. Essentially, it means objectivity has lost its footing to subjectivity; feelings and opinion are preferred over facts. What do churches (and especially pastors) appeal to as their final authority? Do they regard the Bible as God’s unchanging Word? His timeless, transcendent truth? Or is the Bible weighed along with societal norms and public sentiment?

Skip Heitzig: Atheism Has Slain Its Thousands, But Procrastination, Its Tens Of Thousands

In Acts 16, the Philippian jailer asked Paul, "What must I do to be saved?" (v. 30). And he said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved" (v. 31). But there's another question. "What must I do to be lost?" Answer: absolutely nothing. Don't turn to Christ. Don't make a choice. Put it off. That's why I say atheism has slain its thousands, but procrastination, its tens of thousands.

Skip Heitzig: Have You Left Your First Love?

Leaving your first love is seldom a blowout. It's usually a slow leak, like a car tire. You air it up, and a couple weeks later you've got to air it up again. So it is in our priorities with the Lord. We can get distracted gradually and leave slowly. We leave that first love.

Skip Heitzig: The Hope Of Christ’s Return Dominates The Bible

The second coming of Christ dominates the Bible; it's referenced 1,845 times. Next to faith, no subject is more discussed in Scripture. For every mention of the first coming, the second coming is mentioned eight times. For every time the atonement is mentioned, the second coming is mentioned twice. Jesus personally referred to His second coming twenty-one times, and we're urged to be ready for His coming no less than fifty times in Scripture.

Skip Heitzig: God’s Judgment And The Handwriting On The Wall

Your life is being weighed in God's balances. What does He find there? Because one day you will stand, not in a royal hall with handwriting on a wall, but in a judgment hall with handwriting in books (see Revelation 20:12, 15). The good news is in Jesus Christ. "Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross" (Colossians 2:14). Each breath we take, every heartbeat, is one of God’s gifts. Daniel 5 was Belshazzar's time. Ours is coming.

God Looks At The Heart Of Worship, Not The Appearance Of It

Cain was showing his heart there. He was a false worshiper because of his own pride and anger. He had the wrong attitude. God never separates the worship from the worshiper. He always looks at the heart. He sees the outward form of worship, whatever it may be—the raising of hands, the singing of songs, the giving of time or treasure—but He focuses on the person's heart.
