What will happen at the end of time, and what should we do in light of its coming?

Mark 13:14-37 – God Can be Trusted in the Midst of the Chaos
We cope by remembering that Jesus is in control of all things and that He loves us.
In Jesus’ various teachings concerning the end of time and His return there is a great emphasis on being ready.

Who are the Sons of Korah?
A Closer Look at a Group of Psalmists
The sons of Korah were Levitical musicians who descended from an ancient rebel. But Korah’s sons didn’t perish with their father, because they separated themselves from him (Num. 16:26–27; 26:10–11). These sons had descendants, and the generations of Korahites extended into the days of David. When we read “Sons of Korah” in a superscription of... Continue Reading
Five Reasons Why Men Should Marry
From the beginning, God designed marriage to meet a fundamental human need for companionship.
The marriage covenant brings companionship, mutual support, and love, enhancing both spouses’ overall quality of life.

Why Romans 8:28 Isn’t Helping Your Anxiety
If your treasure is on earth, your emotional stability is unsafe.
Instead of forcing yourself to trust a God who isn’t protecting your earthly idols, it’s more effective to identify those false gods first.

The Country Music Culture War
Country music was once about embracing a certain type of culture—one that, it bears pointing out, is rapidly dying in many of the very places where country music first originated.
Just as the family-friendly, tradition-oriented culture championed by old country (think Alan Jackson’s “Small Town Southern Man”) has undergone a sharp decline over the past couple of decades, so has country music. Traditional country has been largely replaced on the Top 40 charts by what has been dubbed “bro-country” or “stadium country,” which Wikipedia helpfully... Continue Reading

On the Pedagogical Superiority of the Second Commandment
Daddy, is all your knowing Jesus from the Bible?
I only know Jesus because God wrote it in the book. But, Jesus is not a book, daddy. The book describes Jesus as 100% man like any man and 100% God like the only God. And that 200% is a funny number. You said 100% truthful is like a cup all the way up. All... Continue Reading
