Jesus loved the Pharisees during His ministry, and He still loves Pharisees today. And God can save Pharisees, even Pharisees like us. So if you find someone hardened in their pride and self-righteousness, don’t give up.   The Pharisees are, in many ways, the main bad guys of the gospel accounts. They were the ones...

James told us that life is a vapor (James 4:14)…the shortness and brevity of life should spur us on to see our days, our hours, our minutes as precious and to be lived for something much bigger than one little life can accomplish.    It’s sobering to realize you’re in the second half of your...

The wise ruler will “defend the cause of the poor and needy” and avoid “dishonest gain, shedding innocent blood, and oppression and extortion” (Jeremiah. 22:16-17). Kings rise and fall, and they are subject to the word of God (Jeremiah 1:10, 18-19).   Scripture is not silent on proper goals and conduct for leaders, addressing this... Continue Reading

A time is coming when those who put their faith in Christ today—and tomorrow, and the next day—will no longer be distracted; when their desires will be fully satisfied. Forever. Then we will dwell with God. He will be our God and we will be his people. In the meantime, may we hope for what... Continue Reading

As the western world detaches from its Christian foundations, we should expect that more children will be devalued and harmed in more ways. A consistent feature of pagan societies is for children to be in danger. We should expect the same as a society repaganizes.     Recently, a history teacher from Littleton, Colorado, went viral...
