We owed an infinite debt of sin that was imputed to Jesus. He not only paid off our debt but also made us spiritually rich with His imputed righteousness. We who have been made rich in every way should gratefully steward the material wealth that God has given us to His glory.   Imagine that... Continue Reading

There is something worse than falling away. It’s spiritual mediocrity. No scandal. No apostasy. Just slow, subtle, chilling compromise. You still talk about God. But you haven’t heard His voice in months. You still go to church. But your heart stays in the car. You’ve settled.   There is a death that never gets a... Continue Reading

When riches get you, you get nothing but grief.  When Christ gets you, you get joy, peace, and communion with him forever.  Have your possessions taken hold of your heart?   A man once had a daughter about to get married and he couldn’t afford the wedding. However, this man was a famous author and... Continue Reading

We are not stewarding our time well if we neglect gathering together with God’s people. Work only six days, and take Sundays off from your work to worship and rest. In addition to the Lord’s Day, consider each day how you might pursue Scripture, prayer, and fellowship.   Visit any bookstore or library, and you’ll... Continue Reading

To paraphrase C.S. Lewis, AI is without a “chest.” In other words, it lacks that aspect of humanity which reflects our moral instincts and makes value judgments. The reason interacting with most AI chatbots is like talking to modern, tolerant, progressive college grads is because that’s who created it and determined its training data.    ... Continue Reading

Who led Abram out of paganism? Who delivered the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt? Who gave the Promised Land to Israel? Who gave Naomi offspring through Ruth? Who preserved the Jews by preserving and positioning Esther? Who turns the hearts of kings (Prov. 21:1)? Who establishes men’s steps (Prov. 16:9)? Who orchestrated the death of... Continue Reading

So often in youthful Christian vigour, we imagine that we can be as close to perfect as possible, in a very short period of time. Just obey the Word! It’s so simple! Why doesn’t everyone just do that?! But then we get knocked around by life, and we realise why. We, like Jacob before us,... Continue Reading

A careful study of both Old and New Testament morality and worship will show that the OT is quite full of mercy and grace; meanwhile the New Testament preserves elements of God’s wrath and judgment. These are not two different testamental plans of religion; the Old points precisely to Christ who fulfills it perfectly—not differently.... Continue Reading

The message of the gospel gives confidence for Christ’s appearing. When we proclaim the name of Christ to a lost world, we are proclaiming that sinful mankind can be made right with the sinless Creator. Man, by nature, is at enmity with God, but there is a mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5).... Continue Reading

Stewardship in all of life rests on the knowledge that all we are and all we have has been given to us by God through Christ and belongs to God. We are therefore under His lordship. Laziness and selfishness are acts of ingratitude and betrayal toward God, and they portray a lack of trust in... Continue Reading
