It’s not how you begin, it’s how you finish. Maybe you stumbled out of the gate. Maybe apathy, anger, or addiction robbed your children of the father they needed. You don’t have a time machine to rewrite the past. But you do have today. You can repent. You can ask forgiveness. You can start building... Continue Reading

What is a spider web to a lion? And what is an atheist to the God who created this world, who rules over it, and who will bring it to its grand conclusion? Truth has always triumphed, and truth always will triumph.   Do you remember when the New Atheism was at its peak? Do... Continue Reading

As long as Pelagianism and synergism exist to tempt the religious mind, Luther’s response to Erasmus will remain a trumpet call to summon God’s people to embrace the biblical and Augustinian view of the bondage of the will and the life-giving grace of God in Jesus Christ, lost humanity’s only Deliverer.   Before the fifth...

Our unity is a gift, freely given and already secured. It was purchased by Jesus through his sacrifice and granted to us by the Holy Spirit. This unity isn’t something we need to earn or strive to achieve. It’s already ours in Christ by virtue of the fact that God has made us one in... Continue Reading

God speaks through his Word and we speak back to him in prayer. Hence, Bible-reading is relating to God. It is of a different category than reading a book…What might be more helpful questions to ask? Perhaps something like this: Am I putting enough effort into fostering my relationship with God that my life proves... Continue Reading

The Bible doesn’t feel like a book we’re reading; it feels like a book reading us. It presses against our pride, our control, our desire to define good and evil on our own terms. That’s why walking away can feel like freedom, though in reality it’s only a trade — exchanging God’s authority for our... Continue Reading

As bad as the political repudiation of liberty for security and benefits is, the spiritual trade-off is even more deplorable. As Christians, like ancient Israel, we are part of a glorious exodus, thanks to the wonderful grace of God. We were miraculously delivered from sin, self and death, yet too many believers seem to wanna... Continue Reading
