The 103rd episode of the “Christ is All” podcast has just released.
It’s a message I delivered in October 2010 called Pressing Into the Kingdom. It can also be entitled Holy Violence.
The talk is a practical unfolding and application of these two texts:
“The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.”
~ Luke 16:16
“From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.”
~ Matthew 11:12
I believe it will stir your heart to pursue the Lord and press into all that He’s made available to you.

A Jesus Response to Suicide
This was absolutely a stirring message for me. I am crying out to Jesus out of desperation, like the examples you made come alive.
I am grateful that I do have some brothers and sisters that are bringing me to Jesus, like the paralyzed man. Because, while I’ve known that Jesus is my Messiah, I’ve been so overwhelmed by the obstacles before me. I’ve needed and need others in the Body to violently break through ahead of me, and carry me along. My pride lies to me that I should be the one serving everybody else. But, in this season, I just can’t. I need help. And, praise God that help is available.
Frank, you’re inspiring me to not quit. That is actually saying a lot right now for me. I have much LOVE and gratitude for your ministry.
I definitely need something to stir my heart…besides the law which I hear ad nauseum here in So. Cal (“Christian”radio).
So thanks very much!
Tenacious faith! Thank you Frank!
Yes! Thank you! It downloaded to my iPod this morning and I was able to listen to it on my otherwise frustrating drive to work. 🙂
Your messages are always so timely. I always appreciate them. Thanks again. Much needed.
