If unbelief lies at the center of humanity’s relationship with God, then understanding unbelief becomes essential for understanding the human condition itself.   We live in an age of unprecedented knowledge and profound confusion. Never before in human history has information been so abundant, so accessible, and so immediate. Through the internet, social media, digital... Continue Reading

The gospel is much more than a ticket to heaven. And if we are to continue in the way we started—if we are to NOT move on from the gospel, it means that the gospel becomes, over time, the driving force behind every part of our lives.   The world’s fastest man, for the moment,... Continue Reading

As people who were formerly alienated from God and hostile in mind (Colossians 1:21-22), we need obedience and faith modeled to us. Those we’re discipling need that as well. They don’t just need us to tell them about Christ; they need us to show them Christ from the Word and from our lives.   Read:... Continue Reading

But we must never forget that we are stepping onto holy ground.…He has crossed the infinite gulf of existence to speak to us in words we can understand. He has accommodated His infinite light to our weak, creaturely eyes.…remembering that the goal of all true... Continue Reading

Has the church begun to balk on her duty to uphold and protect the truth? Is the church crumbling to outside pressure to be conformed to the world? How will the battle for ideas be lost? It won’t be through procreation, but it will be through the church bending the knee to another lord other... Continue Reading
