The Holiness of God

God, in both His essence and character, is higher than all human thought or imagination.

Written by Mark G. Johnston | Wednesday, July 10, 2024

Through the atoning blood of Christ our Savior, we can draw near to God by faith and worship Him “in the splendor of holiness” (Psalm 96:9). This is our highest privilege and deepest joy.   The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him” (Hab. 2:20). The prophet Habakkuk wrote... Continue Reading

The Church’s Response to Domestic Abuse

Isaiah 1:17 exhorts the church to “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.”

Written by Kïrsten Christianson | Wednesday, July 10, 2024

Very few believing women understand what is happening when they experience oppression. They find it very difficult and heart­breaking to consider what is happening to them…repeatedly called words that we can’t print…being shouted at nose to nose, or relentlessly and wrongfully accused of always dishonoring God or having bad motives toward her hus­band. How can... Continue Reading

AI and the Tower of Babel

Machines cannot become humans and humans cannot become God.

Written by David L. Bahnsen | Wednesday, July 10, 2024

Modern technology has always faced a certain Godlike aspiration from some of its more arrogant zealots, as even leading industrialists in the pre-digital era fancied themselves miniature deities on occasion. The AI moment is an odd twist on this Babel-like idolatrous tendency.   The subject of artificial intelligence has become a national obsession in the... Continue Reading

Christ, Caesar, or Self: Recognizing Political Idolatry—Part 2

Written by Dr. Jeffery J. Ventrella | Wednesday, July 10, 2024

In their desperation, beleaguered people often yearn for a “strong man” or a King or a Christian Prince to order and redeem the public square—yet there is always buyer’s regret—and death—when the State is seen as Savior, not Servant.   Introduction Truthxchange exists to Inform the public, Equip the Church, and Protect the Future. Last... Continue Reading

The Most Dangerous Thing a Christian Can Do

One of the most innocent things a Christian does may also be one of the most dangerous.

Written by Tim Challies | Wednesday, July 3, 2024

Every journey begins with a single step and that is true of so many of those who leave the church. They leave by inches. They leave without meaning to. They leave because they have not been adequately cautioned about the coming challenges—that what seems like a time of exciting new experiences and new starts, may... Continue Reading

The Blessings of Being Bound

Finding Freedom Through Commitment

Written by Scott Hubbard | Wednesday, July 3, 2024

Not every loyalty in this world is for life. Some friendships fade and church memberships transfer and jobs transition for upright reasons. But those who remain loyal longer than their flesh wants, and longer than the world advises, will discover the stunning loveliness born of loyalty, the untold blessings of being bound.   In our...

The Lion of Punjab, John H. Morrison

Written by Mark Vroegop | Wednesday, July 3, 2024

While you may never love to wait, you can transform gap moments into an opportunity for spiritual growth. Rather than wasting your waiting, you can worship your way through it.   Wait for the Lord Do you know anyone who likes to wait? I don’t. If you were to take a quick survey, there’d be...

Making Virtue Personal, Part 1

To form the soul into something good, something that resembles Christ, requires impressing good images upon it.

Written by Lanta Davis | Wednesday, July 3, 2024

The process of character formation—requires not only knowing what is good but also activating the spirit so that the heart wants to choose the good. The art of fashioning the soul helps to unify the spirit with the mind.    My students rarely know what kindness really means. When they provide feedback on their classmates’... Continue Reading

Kid Noises

Kid noises are the sounds of small ones seeing their parents and the church gathered together to worship the Lord.

Written by Jacob Crouch | Wednesday, July 3, 2024

When I hear kid noises, it means that seeds are being planted, however small, in the hearts of the next generation. It is no small thing to have children present while the living and active word of God is being proclaimed. I love kid noises.   On Sunday morning, we sit in the “families-with-small-kids” section....
