Barna: Rejection of Absolute Moral Truth Has Dug “Deep Foundation of Chaos”

“A Christian body that waffles on truth has no credibility and cannot bless the nation as it is called to do.”

Written by Ryan Foley | Wednesday, June 4, 2025

Barna declared that “Churches that fail to persistently teach reasons why the Bible can be trusted, what moral truth is, why it must be understood as absolute rather than situational, and facilitate accountability for the application of biblical truth in our personal lives are not churches with biblical purpose and power, but merely pawns of...

Cornelius Van Til’s Influence on “Every Believer Confident”

Written by Dominic Aquila | Wednesday, June 4, 2025

What I found in Van Til was a profound and refreshingly biblical explanation of the unbeliever’s heart and mind (Rom. 1:18–23)—a revelation (to me) of a fundamental aspect of biblical anthropology. Unbelievers are truth-suppressors. They know the true God, but they suppress that truth through their unrighteous behavior. Their thinking is futile, their hearts are... Continue Reading

When Words Aren’t Enough:

How to Strengthen Yourself in the Lord

Written by Shannon Kay McCoy | Wednesday, June 4, 2025

David is completely alone—exhausted, blamed, and betrayed. But right there, in the depths of despair, comes one of the most hope-filled statements in Scripture: “But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.” Let’s look at the five steps David took to strengthen himself in the Lord.   “And David was greatly distressed, for the...

Wise Up! Part 1: The Many Faces of Wisdom

Wisdom is essentially the ability to find and follow the path that best leads to successful living.

Written by Ben Hicks | Wednesday, June 4, 2025

What does wisdom look like? We could use simple definitions like “skill in living” or “knowledge applied,” but it’s also helpful to get the full picture. Wisdom is skill, yes, but this skill comes from being disciplined, that is, corrected when we go wrong. It’s the ability to make discerning choices by selecting the best... Continue Reading

A Minor Inconvenience

The secrets of the heart exposed.

Written by Jacob Crouch | Wednesday, June 4, 2025

I’m glad for the minor inconveniences that expose my sin and begin to take off the rough edges of my character. May He continue to do this, and may we all turn our eyes to Him in major and minor troubles.   I wish I could say I was more like Christ. I wish I... Continue Reading

Taking a Closer Look at Psalm 22

We’re all of one family, and he’s not ashamed to call us brothers.

Written by Daniel Stevens | Tuesday, June 3, 2025

The epistle to the Hebrews cites a passage from Psalm 22 that we wouldn’t expect. This isn’t the cry of dereliction on the cross, nor is it the declaration of resurrection, nor is it the future look towards nations and generations being saved. But it’s a line that you may have missed. “I will tell... Continue Reading

God Can Handle Chaos—Including Yours

God does not stand aloof from the world in all its chaotic agony.

Written by Campbell Markham | Tuesday, June 3, 2025

Confused. Empty. Lifeless. Dark. Chaotic. You are not yet a Christian, and you don’t know why you are on this planet and what is the meaning and purpose of your life. There is spiritual blackness and obscurity, and everything is immersed in chaos. Or you are a Christian, and the chaotic trials of life are... Continue Reading

Culture is the Backdrop for the Real Story

He will use believers as a display of his love and beauty in contrast to the society.

Written by Jim Elliff | Tuesday, June 3, 2025

As far as God was concerned, we see in the writings that the churches had an importance far above what was in the Roman world around it and that God concentrated his interest on it and chose to reach out through it.   Christians, God is infinitely more concerned about the heart, faith, behavior and...

The Kingdom Chronicler: A Life of Luke

May we, like Luke, live for Christ, trusting that our labor for His kingdom is never in vain.

Written by Allen Nelson IV | Tuesday, June 3, 2025

When Luke died at age 84 (if tradition is right), he left a legacy of devotion to the kingdom. He never saw Jesus in the flesh, but when he closed his eyes, he beheld Christ’s glory in a way we cannot yet imagine. His life was spent for Christ’s glory. And a life spent for... Continue Reading

What Should You Do When There’s No Time to Pray?

No matter how busy you are—or think you are—never stop sharing your love and longings, petitions and pain with the Lord who made you for relationship with himself.

Written by Kenneth Berding | Tuesday, June 3, 2025

Talk to the Lord about whatever you’re doing, whatever you’re struggling with, whatever you need. Prayers like this: “Lord, I’m about to change my baby’s diaper. I want to do this activity with you.” “Father, I don’t know if I have stamina to continue. Still, I trust that you’re with me.” “God, I need you... Continue Reading
