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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Why This Tragedy Shook Me—and Why Christians Can’t Stay Silent
Witnessing the unthinkable: A Christian response to the Charlie Kirk assassination.

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.
Untold blessings are the birthright of Christian believers. But the exclusive source and conduit of them all is our Lord Jesus Christ.

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.
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.
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.

Can We Find Our Way Back?
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... Continue Reading
What Power?
How to adapt one’s presentation of the gospel to the situation at hand.
