Though it may seem to conceal in mystery, Revelation reveals in majesty. Above all, we see Jesus, God the Son, as perfected prophet, priest, and king. Like the certainty of the sun behind storm clouds, the glory of the Son shines steadfastly behind the storms of this fallen and falling world.   Blessed is he who reads and those... Continue Reading

Sleep well tonight because God never does, and He has made provision for you in the gospel, and when you wake up in the morning, you will find a fresh set of mercies to meet you then.   What’s the last thing you think about before going to sleep? Do you number sheep? Do you... Continue Reading

If we build our hope and faith on anything other than Jesus Christ clothed in the gospel, then we are building our faith on sinking sand. The moment a church hurts you, a pastor fails you, or the church fails in living out the gospel in the world, your faith will be shaken because you... Continue Reading

Christ told us where we would encounter him in this world, whether to our credit or shame, among the hungry, thirsty, naked, stranger, sick, and imprisoned (Matthew 25:31–46); he declares, that “whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me” (John 13:20).   In the summer...

As Solzhenitsyn said many decades ago, such a person must admit, “I am part of the herd and a coward.”   At the precise moment of his arrest and exile... Continue Reading

Let us safeguard our souls while navigating this virtual world.   Social media has unquestionably transformed the way we behave. While some of these changes have... Continue Reading

I wonder sometimes if we redact Jesus because we aren’t fully convinced of his goodness. If we’re not totally sold on the truth that he has come to bring life and life to that full. We think that there’s an alternative, or an amalgam of Jesus teaching and the world’s, that is somehow better.  ... Continue Reading
