1 John 1:5 says, "This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." Covington Theological Seminary's new blog wants to be about giving forth the glorious "message we have heard from Him." Thus the title "Message from Him." We want to take topics of the culture today and tell you the reader what God says about it without bias or influence from anyone or any organization. We want to give you the message from Him - the message that has no darkness at all - only the truth.

Our day starts with an alarm and ticks away with the tempo of alerts from text messages, social media, news outlets, ESPN updates and all sorts of pings keeping us alerted to all the need to know information in our day. With all the information coming at us at such a rapid pace, how plugged in are we to the spiritual notifications that are essential to our walk and life in Christ? In this article, Tracy Trivette challenges us to focus our attention in an increasingly distracting culture to the spiritual notifications that keep our hearts and minds set on Him and recommends some resources to help do that.

Monday, August 25, 2014 • Gary Fleetwood • Discipleship
What does it mean to follow after Christ and how is the church currently doing in "making disciples?" It may be more than we think it to be and so Dr. Gary Fleetwood challenges us on our current perspective. Are you a disciple of Christ and is your church making disciples of Christ?

If we never seek Christ, we will never find Christ. If we never study God's Word, we will never understand God's Word. A "man of God" must "lay hold" of these things. He must understand what godliness is and then take hold of it with intensity.

Sin does not need to hinder our worship and our love for God. If we get on our knees, God will show us the dirt. Take the time to allow God to examine your heart and show you the dirt that hinders your relationship with God in worship. Meet God on His terms today with clean hands and a pure heart.

Evangelism is fundamental to being a Christian, yet our culture is beginning to hate our message of Christ alone. If we will not obey him in the great commission now while there is peace and freedom what will we do when there is persecution and martyrs among us?
