When it comes to his children, God’s purposes in our afflictions are always redemptive, since “we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). The more we see God’s faithfulness in our afflictions, the more meaningful we will find Paul’s...

We see in the opening chapters of Genesis a wealth of material related to political theology. We witness a God whose rule includes the act of creation.

Jesus is celebrated every Sunday—the Lord’s Day—as Christians worldwide worship Christ and commemorate his resurrection.   Scripture says that pride comes before a fall (Prov. 16:18).
