Are We Following the Roman Empire’s Path of Decline?

Part 2: A Fixation with Entertainment and Luxury  

Written by Seth Brickley | Wednesday, February 4, 2026

When an individual or a society is God-fearing, the focus is on the inward (Matthew 22:37-39). This leads to a depth of life that is truly worth living (John 10:10). As the Roman Empire pursued show and luxury, they experienced instant gratification (Philippians 3:19), but missed out on what truly brings satisfaction (John 6:35) and... Continue Reading

The Word Is Food for Our Souls

His word is meant to nourish us and fill our souls to overflowing.

Written by Uche Anizor | Wednesday, February 4, 2026

Peter and the disciples feasted on Jesus as the true bread from heaven. But they also recognized that to feed on this bread required that they feed on his words. The food of the word gives access to a feast of life-giving flesh and blood.   The Gift of Nourishment The word of God is... Continue Reading

Does God Want Deaconesses in the Church?

Some conservative churches have adopted the practice of “commissioning” deaconesses in a non-ordained capacity.

Written by Le Ann Trees | Friday, January 30, 2026

Respect for God and for one another is good, right, and loving. Yet honoring God and others also requires upholding God’s revealed order for his church. Church leaders must therefore take care not to place women in ecclesiastical roles that Scripture does not expressly authorize.   When it comes to any matter related to the... Continue Reading

What Even Is Christian Nationalism?

It remains to be seen if the term Christian Nationalism will have any utility at all.

Written by George Sayour | Friday, January 30, 2026

Christians have always sought to understand how to navigate their dual citizenship, Church-State relationships, being Christians as individuals and being the Church as an institution, and evangelism or outreach outside the church from practices within the covenant community. These differences and debates have always been in bounds and not a matter of doctrinal fidelity.  ... Continue Reading

In Defense of Robert Murray M’Cheyne

The problem with reading the Bible systematically, methodically, and annually isn’t a pastor from a bygone era. The problem is the reader.

Written by Jim Curtis | Friday, January 30, 2026

The real problem with M’Cheyne’s plan isn’t that it encourages more Bible reading, a faster pace, a more serious diligence, nor that it comes with a checklist. The real problem is that the reader lacks in himself a passion for the Savior he meets in the text.   New year (re?)newed disciplines. That’s my current... Continue Reading

“Lord of The Sabbath”

We believers have underestimated the significance of Christ as "The Lord of the Sabbath."

Written by Rev. Mark J. Henninger | Friday, January 30, 2026

“Lord of the Sabbath” newness has at least three critical applications: priesthood, people, and program…With regard to the priesthood, the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would be forever now the one and only perfect and eternal High Priest (see Heb. 7:26 ff)—whose new Sabbath Day would be crowned by the commemoration of His bodily resurrection.   Our...

Christians Must Resist Assisted Suicide

Death cannot be dignified, only conquered.

Written by Andy Huette | Friday, January 30, 2026

Some things in this fallen world can’t be dignified, no matter what language we use. Death is a gruesome enemy of humanity. The ultimate solution to it can only be found in the resurrection of our lord.   On December 12, 2025, amid the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, Deb’s Law (SB 1950)... Continue Reading

What Does It Look Like to “Put On” Love?

When we “put on love,” we aren’t merely personifying a feeling or exerting an emotion, we’re putting on Christ himself.

Written by Dustin Benge | Friday, January 30, 2026

This is the life you were saved for. “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God” (1 John 4:7). Put on love. Not once, but daily. Not perfectly, but persistently. And watch as the Holy Spirit binds your life together in... Continue Reading

Will There Still Be a Separate Heaven When God Creates the New Earth?

The New Earth will be a true merger of Heaven and Earth, making it literally “Heaven on Earth.”

Written by Randy Alcorn | Friday, January 30, 2026

The New Earth will be a physical, tangible place where believers will dwell after the final resurrection. The New Heavens and New Earth will together constitute the New Universe, which will be the eternal Heaven, a permanent renewal and restoration of God’s original creation, forever free from sin and suffering.   A thoughtful reader asked... Continue Reading

When Obedience to God Feels Like a Letdown to People

Why spiritual maturity requires disappointing people without disobeying the Lord.

Written by Christopher Cook | Friday, January 30, 2026

Your soul needs a new language. Break the agreement with false definitions of faithfulness and step into truth. This is not about defiance. It’s about allegiance to a superior reality.   It happened again. The request didn’t come as a question. Rather, it arrived pre-decided. My time was volunteered for me, handed over by someone...
