The Vinedresser’s Knife: Four Reasons Why God Prunes His Branches

In God’s design, this is how he loves his people: by pruning them and making them fruitful.

Written by Geoff Chang | Tuesday, September 16, 2025

There may be some seasons of pain, when you will be so confused that it will be fine for you just to say, “I have no idea why this happened; I don’t understand what God is doing; But the bottom line is that I know Jesus loves me. Though he slay me, yet will I... Continue Reading

Your Morning Routine

Surely this would be the best routine as you begin the day … to set your face towards Him.

Written by Bill Elliff | Tuesday, September 16, 2025

He longs for us to come, knowing that one day we will realize it is the best place. But, until then, He waits as we sort through the world’s gods and distractions, vainly thinking there is something better there. How much better it would be to consciously enter His presence at first light—to draw near—and... Continue Reading

What Sets Christianity Apart? (Part 1)

Christianity is set apart from all other religions by its understanding of the Trinity.

Written by Paul O'Brien | Tuesday, September 16, 2025

The triune nature of God shows that He is relational, loving, self-giving, and personal. God is not just some distant, cosmic force. He has personhood. He has existed in all eternity past in a loving relationship, strange to say, with Himself. God amazingly calls us to join in that relationship with Him (Jn. 17:20ff). He... Continue Reading

Just Ask

I encourage you to demonstrate the New Testament burden-shouldering of Galatians 6:2.

Written by Brandon Bishop | Tuesday, September 16, 2025

Your friend’s loss always remains with them. The waves of sorrow may ebb and flow, but I’ll bet you thoughts of their grief always swirl. Your pursuit of them, though, will show not only your love and concern, but it will help them see that the Lord never forgets…for He sent you as a reminder.... Continue Reading

Why This Tragedy Shook Me—and Why Christians Can’t Stay Silent

Witnessing the unthinkable: A Christian response to the Charlie Kirk assassination.

Written by Cody Watson | Monday, September 15, 2025

Charlie Kirk was not a man of hate. He spoke truth. He debated ideas. He was a husband, a father. And he was slaughtered in front of his wife and children for daring to live and speak his faith…Yet even as the darkness deepens, I know my God has not abandoned us. He has given... Continue Reading

In Christ: A Christian’s True Identity

As we each fulfill our role in the body, we build up one another and the whole body in love.

Written by Sinclair Ferguson | Monday, September 15, 2025

Untold blessings are the birthright of Christian believers. But the exclusive source and conduit of them all is our Lord Jesus Christ. This explains why masters of the spiritual life have always urged us to look nowhere else for blessing, but only to Christ and to the privilege we have of being united to Him…We... Continue Reading

5 Things That Gave the Apostles Boldness to Proclaim the Gospel

When men and women are full of the Holy Spirit, they speak the word of God boldly.

Written by Iain M. Duguid | Monday, September 15, 2025

Jesus calls, commissions, and empowers us to speak that good news for him with great boldness. You may end up seeing people converted by your words; you may end up in jail. There are no guarantees with God, except for these: that God has installed his crucified and exalted anointed one, Jesus Christ, as King... Continue Reading

The Mysterious Power of Male Sexuality

Constrain the power of your sexuality to developing the most noble of virtues.

Written by Tim Challies | Monday, September 15, 2025

Some of the best things in life are also some of the most dangerous, and a man’s sexuality is at the same time one of the best of God’s creations and the most dangerous. It can be such a blessing or such a curse, create such joy or such destruction…Understand the power of male sexuality... Continue Reading

Lord, Have Mercy

Can We Find Our Way Back?

Written by Aaron Armstrong | Sunday, September 14, 2025

We don’t know how to mourn with those who mourn. To acknowledge tragedy without filtering it through a partisan framework. To consider how we have lost our way—and if it’s possible to find our way back again.   On September 10, 2025, a family was destroyed when Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah...

What Power?

How to adapt one’s presentation of the gospel to the situation at hand.

Written by Mike Slay | Sunday, September 14, 2025

“And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.” — Luke 12:11–12 (ESV)   Acts 4:5–12 (ESV) On the...
