As much as it concerns and hurts us to see our brothers and sisters in Christ suffering such distressing persecution around the world, as well as the increasing militant opposition we are experiencing today, sometimes even from close family and friends, Jesus, our Lord and Saviour was in no doubt that this would definitely happen....

In marriage, husband and wife are meshed together in a powerful way. It is a “one flesh” union (Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:31). Living separate lives is not an option. Couples must build communication and mutual accountability into the marriage.   Marriage is a gift from God.  “He who finds a wife finds a good thing... Continue Reading

It is futile to anxiously seek after the things that our heavenly Father already knows we need. Instead, we are to “seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness” (v. 33). Then we will find that He makes provision for our daily needs, “and all these things will be added to you” (v. 33).... Continue Reading

It is necessary to distinguish the basis of our justification—Christ’s bearing the Father’s wrath on our behalf and being raised from the dead—and the means of our justification—belief in Christ Jesus, who alone bore our deserved wrath and rose from death on our behalf.   All month, Christ Over All has focused on the question,...

For God, salt was a symbol of his covenant with the Israelites. It showed that His covenant with them was permanent. Salt is also not something that can be destroyed by time or fire, but it endures.   When you do, however, and you arrive at the grain offering in Leviticus 2, you might notice... Continue Reading

We can be too chummy sometimes when we’re entering the presence of God, and we can make everything very spiritual when God in the Bible is concerned with very ordinary (and sometimes...

Just as Peter moved from fearful failure to faithful witness, we too are called to let Christ’s holiness embolden us, freeing us from the fear of man and empowering us to testify with both courage and humility. When we anchor our apologetics in the transformative vision of Christ’s power, his majesty, his unique glory, we... Continue Reading

Without God and his revealed Word, there is no reference point to make sense of the world or any human experience. Any time we evaluate arguments and philosophies, our ground for truth can be nothing other than our unchanging, covenant-keeping Creator as revealed in his Word.   When you hear the words “gender and sexuality,”...

We need those with an uncompromising backbone who are willing and able to zealously contend for biblical doctrine, worship, and godliness. Men who fight for the honor bestowed by God alone. But they also need to have enough reluctance to avoid, in the fight, everything unbecoming of one enlisted under the banner of Jesus Christ, and whose... Continue Reading
