Forgiveness is not easy. It’s not always immediate. And it’s not always complete in this life. But it is the way of our Savior. It’s the way of healing. It’s the path of redemption. And it’s a picture of the gospel.   Forgiveness is one of the most radical and recognizable marks of a Christian.... Continue Reading

There’s no middle ground, purgatory, or second chances. Once we die, then we face judgement. People will either die and immediately be in the loving, gracious presence of Jesus, or immediately be under the judgement of God.   It’s no secret that we are all going to die. Like Ray Comfort explains in each of... Continue Reading

We never know how God’s wise providence will ultimately unfold in the lives of our children, we should strive to leave them with this testimony: “For all their failures, my mom and dad loved Jesus as much at home as they did in public—because Jesus loved them.”   I was struck by something a few...

Every time we sin, we are putting something else ahead of God’s glory….there is something that our hearts are valuing at that moment more than the glory of God or obedience to him. That rebellious attitude is what makes each individual sin, however “small,” serious in God’s sight. It is an act of cosmic treason... Continue Reading

Our words should be not only pure but also persuasive, pointing others to Christ. Often, we underestimate the profound impact that our speech can have on those around us, particularly non-Christians. Every conversation is an opportunity to reflect the love and truth of Christ. Let us therefore commit to using our speech as a tool... Continue Reading

Confessing our sins isn’t a burdensome obligation. Nor is it morbid or masochistic. It is a gift from our gracious God, in invitation to turn back to God and treasure his reassuring mercies.   “There is no perfect church.” The statement has become horribly trite, because we know full well that it’s a euphemism. What... Continue Reading

We live in the dual realities of what God has done and what He’s going to do; of the joy of salvation and the longing for redemption; of what is and what will be. And though we might not be aware of both of these realities in our daily experience, they’re there.   When the... Continue Reading

God has called us to live in the world but not be of it (John 17:14–18). We are to be salt and light (Matthew 5:13–16)—not hidden from the world, nor absorbed by it, but wisely present in it. Our calling is not blind separation nor mindless imitation, but thoughtful, Spirit-led engagement.   There are three... Continue Reading

Christianity and the New Eugenics is a deep philosophical probe, not least about how we value the life of our neighbour and that of (future) children. Its author ably pinpoints the horns of the dilemma upon which society finds itself: all people are equal, but some people are more equal than others.   Evangelical Christian Dr... Continue Reading

Most men will not admit their innate fear of becoming a dad and often cover their insecurity with bravado and bluster. Some devolve into angry, apathetic, or absent parents, and their children suffer the consequences. For those who profess faith and believe in a heavenly father, we have a better path laid out for us.... Continue Reading
