The Purpose of Pentecost: Propagation of the Gospel
The Spirit has fulfilled Christ’s promise, and now He empowers His people.
At Pentecost God perfectly fulfilled his promise to empower His disciples to be His witnesses. Promise fulfillment provides certainty of God’s plan and pattern for His church. We are to be witnesses to the mighty works of God. We are to proclaim all that Christ has taught making disciples of all nations. We have... Continue Reading
What It Means That God Is Immutable and Why That Matters for You
What God was, He is now and always will be, for He is eternal.
God has revealed “the immutability of his counsel” (Hebrews 6:17). His promises will never expire, for His plan will never change. We can trust His Word. Over the whole Bible flies this banner: “These words are true and faithful” (Revelation 21:5). God’s Unchangeable Being Change fills our lives. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus famously said...

The Myth of Neutrality: Carl F.H. Henry’s Case for Prayer in Public School
The question is not whether a faith will shape the moral imagination of the next generation, but which faith.
God’s revelation shapes every aspect of how we live, including how we approach education. Every curriculum rests upon a creed; every lesson conveys a worldview. The question is which creed, which faith? We welcome, therefore, the intellectual honesty that identifies God as the source of our rights, our duties, and the author of the best... Continue Reading
Why Do 60 Percent of Young Americans Say They Prefer Socialism?
The sons and daughters of the most prosperous free society in human history, now lean toward a system that starved millions, shattered families, and crushed entire nations under the weight of centralized power.
Systems built by human hands will eventually betray the people who trust in them. Because human beings need more than food distribution and standardized wages. They need redemption. They need the Spirit. They need a Savior who changes hearts so deeply that generosity rises like a well from within. No political system can create that... Continue Reading
Homosexuality Revisited: Responding to Common Affirming Arguments
Reinforcing the historic Christian sexual ethic amid increasing cultural and ecclesial confusion.
In our cultural moment, Christians are under increasing pressure to revise or abandon biblical teaching on sexuality. But Scripture has not changed. The moral prohibitions in Leviticus 18 and 20 are part of God’s enduring design for human flourishing. They are not temporary rules, ritual taboos, or relics of a bygone culture. One of the...

The Wilderness Within
Every man is walking through some kind of wilderness. It might be loss. It might be pressure. It might be aloneness. But whatever it is, it’s real.
If you’re in a wilderness season right now, don’t waste it. Don’t retreat into self-pity or numbness. Use it. Let it expose what’s beneath the surface. Let it form you into something stronger. God is not punishing you; He is preparing you. Brothers, I confess, I often ‘waste’ my struggles. I do not want you to... Continue Reading
The Lord’s Workers
The local congregation is integral to Christ’s design for making disciples and mobilizing them for the work of the kingdom.
The Apostle Paul’s bottom line in his calling the brethren to recognize and respect Christ’s authority through His leaders is that they would know peace among themselves. The tensions that can roil a church can be dealt with giving credence and compliance to those in authority who bring the word of God to bear. ... Continue Reading
Keeping Your Well Full: Pouring Out Without Running Dry
We must be diligent, discerning, and intentional about how we refresh ourselves when running low.
Dear Christian, you are called to spend all your resources for the sake of Christ’s glory. But if you do not digest the Word of God regularly, have a vibrant walk with Christ, or be regularly filled in a local church, then your well will run dry. But Christ is an endless source of life....

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Where it Looks and What it Says

The resurrection looks BACK to Christ’s righteous life and atoning death on the Cross, through which He... Continue Reading
On Building Spiritual Muscle, Part 1
How do we achieve reliable, steady, spiritual growth?
Sure, in the end our spiritual growth is a miracle. But I’d suggest that God has placed some of the responsibility for sanctification on us. Sanctification is a synergistic work between the Spirit of God and the believer. So, how do we build spiritual muscle? What’s the most important question in the world? I... Continue Reading
