  • Response, Repentance, Regrouping and Relentless

    By Matt Lockett • November 12, 2008 02:49 PM

    To the pro-life remnant in America,

    I’m sure this email finds many of you still trying to process and make sense out of last week’s election. No doubt there are more questions today than answers. If you’re like me, then you’ve been looking for responses from Christian leaders to help understand where we are today. Please bear with me as I attempt to construct thoughts regarding what has happened and what it means for Bound4LIFE and the pro-life movement.

  • I've Got a Bracelet Too

    By Matt Lockett • September 27, 2008 02:46 PM

    Last night during the Presidential debate the candidates took a moment to discuss the finer points of their bracelets. I’d like to do the same and remind the 325,000 people out there that wear the same one as me to remember their commitment.

    The simple red wristband that marks so many wrists represents a set of priorities that is unpopular to say the least. Beyond the rhetoric it calls the wearer to a standard close to the heart of God–perhaps something that all the other issues hinge on–ending the shedding of innocent blood. Those that have voluntarily taken this solemn pledge have made a sober commitment to three things.

  • Psalm 51 for 51 Courts

    By Matt Lockett • April 20, 2008 02:28 PM

    For the last few days the thoughts of the previous post “David’s Cry for Mercy and Restoration” have continued to weigh heavily on my heart. This moment in our nation is so critical. This is a year like no other, and it demands that we walk lightly and live differently. I believe all of our best-made plans and ideas to remedy our afflictions closely resemble trying to put a band-aid on a mortal wound.

  • David's Cry for Mercy and Restoration

    By Matt Lockett • April 17, 2008 02:26 PM

    David messed up. He messed up real bad, and now there was a baby involved. We all know the story of how King David committed adultery with Bathsheba and then had her husband Uriah killed in an effort to avoid the consequences and cover his tracks.

  • Mercy Triumphs Over Judgement

    By Matt Lockett • March 25, 2008 02:06 PM

    I’d like to clarify some thoughts and motivation surrounding The Mercy Seat event on April 26th. Like most things there tends to be two extreme points of view concerning the future of America. One says that we’re the Promised Land and God will bless us. The other sees nothing but a nation overrun with wickedness and is eagerly expectant of God to pour out His wrath on us. I’d like to humbly put a little of this in perspective for the event.

  • What Will You Do With This Light?

    By Matt Lockett • March 24, 2008 02:01 PM

    We are all experiencing a dramatic development right now in the preaching of the Word. The Body of Christ is being exposed to the doctrine of shedding innocent blood at an unprecedented scale thanks to TheCall and God TV to name a few outlets. Tens of thousands are gathering in stadiums and living rooms around the globe to hear this mysterious truth revealed perhaps for the first time in their lives. This message is not a new one by any means, but it has been largely misunderstood and absent from our pulpits. It is not taught in seminary, yet it remains a basic truth that transcends both Old and New Testaments. It defies being dismissed simply as “an Old Testament thing” or something that doesn’t affect us anymore.

  • Don’t Take Your Eyes Off Of It

    By Matt Lockett • March 13, 2008 05:06 PM

    Let me return to the passages in Matthew 27 that I discussed in “Who’s Responsibility Is It Anyway?” The NIV is the only translation to render verses 4 and 24 “It’s your responsibility.” Let me preface this by saying that I’m definitely not a student of Greek. In fact, I probably know just enough to be dangerous. :)

  • Who’s Responsibility Is It Anyway?

    By Matt Lockett • March 11, 2008 04:57 PM

    Matthew 27 gives us a “behind the scenes” look at Judas right after his betrayal of Jesus. It says that when he saw that Jesus was condemned he was suddenly seized with remorse for what he had done. What happened next gives us a glimpse of the reality of bloodguilt in the New Testament.
