Chip Brogden

But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. 1 Peter 3: 14-16

The Persistent Purpose of God

Written by Chip Brogden

Once God has determined to do something, is there anything, or anyone, that can resist Him? Is man more powerful than God, or does it only seem that way sometimes?

I once conducted a workshop in Cincinnati, Ohio with about forty believers from various backgrounds. To get things started I asked them...

Enter the Kingdom

Written by Chip Brogden

“Someone asked, ‘Lord, will only a few be saved?’ Jesus answered, ‘Make every effort to enter through the narrow gate, because I tell you this: many will try to enter but will not be able to… For narrow is the gate, and narrow is the path which leads to Life, and few...

God’s Saving Judgments: A Fresh Look

Written by Chip Brogden

We may have difficulty reconciling the image of a broken-hearted God Who wants to restore the nations with One Who sends a flood to destroy the earth and rains down fire on cities like Sodom and Gomorrah. How do we explain the many passages of Scripture which refer to God’s judgment on the...

7 Kingdom Misconceptions

Written by Chip Brogden

The interesting thing about secular history is it constantly repeats itself. Spiritual history is no different. The Christian Religion is following a parallel path to the Jewish Religion and will suffer the same fate. Just like Israel of old, Institutional Christianity has given up its pursuit of...

Desiring Christ

Written by Chip Brogden

“Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee” (Psalms 73:25).

In the beginning God ordained that the Bride of Christ, the Ekklesia, should have its desire only for Christ.

Our desires are very powerful. People are pulled in many different...

7 Proven Ways to Receive Revelation

Written by Chip Brogden

Receiving revelation is something of an art. To intentionally seek revelation is one thing that sets the prophet apart from the ordinary person who passively waits to receive. The prophet does not wait for revelation, but pursues it.

The prophetic person asks, seeks, knocks and pays the price...

What Could Be Greater Than Truth?

Written by Chip Brogden

What if you offer to share a truth and are ignored? What if no doors open for you to share a truth? Why would God give truth if he doesn’t open doors to share it?

Those were questions I received from someone who, like me, spent many years as a “Martha,” vexed with much serving,...

“Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all...

Identification With Christ

Written by Chip Brogden

Reading Time:6minutes

Paul says something very peculiar in Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” Does Paul mean to say that he was physically there with Christ on the Cross when Jesus died?

We know that Jesus was...

Reduced to Christ

Written by Chip Brogden

The principle in John 3:30 is that I must decrease. As surely as Christ must increase, so I must decrease. It must be so; therefore it will be so.

“He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30).

There are two Universal Spiritual Principles found in John 3:30 that express two very...

The Hidden Christ

Written by Chip Brogden

Jesus, the Christ of God, did not reveal Himself to the world at large, but to a handful of disciples. We ought to ask why He did not appear upon a mountain in blinding light, or descend in a cloud, but was born into the world as a baby in a stable.

A few shepherds worshipped Him the night He was...

Relationship views everything in terms of a “person.” Religion views everything in terms of “place” or “thing.”

For example, people say, “I miss corporate worship.” They are basically saying that they see worship as a “place,” something to...

In my written and spoken messages I make frequent reference to the preeminence of Christ. Just what do we mean by Christ having the preeminence? What do we mean by giving Christ...
