God’s Ultimate Mission: Revealing His Glory
God has a purpose in the world. God has a purpose for the church in the world. And God’s purpose is to reveal God’s glory.
God is seeking to reveal His glory to the world. And missionary success in relation to God’s purpose is this: it is possible for me to leave my home country, to go to some faraway place, to build and to establish and to sacrifice, and I can do all of these things and yet fail... Continue Reading
It Is Not For Us To Understand
(Or, "The Inscrutably Fearful One, True, and Only God")
The truth is that we Spirit-indwelt Christians serve an inscrutably fearful God. (This is one of the reasons we properly are said to fear Him.) We simply have to accept the fact that we cannot understand or comprehend why some of His faithful children die (even violently) at a young age (for instance); and why... Continue Reading
Take the Tech Exit
It’s not too late to get your children off their smartphones.
“…The design of these technologies are so addictive and create such a strong response on a child’s developing brain and nervous system, that they aren’t safe in any amount. Especially for Christian parents, I would say, even if you’re thinking, we’re not letting them watch any bad content; we’ve made sure the content is really... Continue Reading
The Demise of the Religious Left?
The retreat of the Religious Left is so pervasive that it’s no longer recalled and even confused with intra-evangelical debates.
The Religious Left lost its spiritual, political, and institutional pillars. It exists today through largely unheeded voices who emerge at places like Union Seminary in New York City. There was also an Evangelical Left, including groups like Evangelicals for Social Action and Sojourners, which tried to stay orthodox while touting progressive politics, but which also...

Marcuse, Critical Theory, and the Death of Charlie Kirk
Absent progressive revolution, suspension of free speech is not only justified, it is required.
I doubt the young man who killed Charlie Kirk was staying up late at night wading through Marcuse’s difficult philosophical works. But in many ways, Marcuse has won the culture. He certainly won the universities, which have been practicing “repressive tolerance” for decades. Over the last few years, I have spent a good bit... Continue Reading
Sensational Sunday
Rejoice, rest, recalibrate, reengage, and renew.
Every day belongs to God, but He set aside one day to especially concentrate our attention upon Him, our life in Him, and with others. Many of us do not have to work at our regular jobs on Sunday. Sunday, the first day of the week, is the day Christians celebrate Jesus Christ rising... Continue Reading
Why We Need the Lord’s Day Now More Than Ever
“Lose not one Lord’s Day. If you once lose it, you will hardly recover it.”
The Lord’s Day isn’t a burden; it’s a blessing. Not a checklist, but a feast. To call it holy is to confess that God has claimed it for His glory and our good. The culture says Sunday is just another day. The Lord says it is holy. Which voice are you listening to? We... Continue Reading
The Joy of God in Psalm 104
God enjoys you as you enjoy Him through the Creation He enjoys.
“I always open my eyes as wide as ever I can, because I think I can see God in all the works of his hands, and what God has taken the trouble to make I think I ought to take the trouble to look at.” Charles Spurgeon Psalm 104 focuses on God and His... Continue Reading
Digging Deeper: Reading, Thinking, and Talking
You must be intentional in reading, thinking, and discussing .
We have, as a society, lost the family table. Families often do not eat at a table, but around the TV or in different spots and at various times. We have lost much of the time to hang out with friends and talk about life. Gone are the previous generation’s deeper conversations or even detailed... Continue Reading
Breathing Freely the Clean Air of Grace
The gospel is the knowledge that can heal us from the fumes of secularism and fill our lungs with the invigorating air of free grace.
We need to come to appreciate that the only righteousness that matters, when the dust settles, is being “right” with God, and the only way to garner such righteousness is by faith in Christ. If we grasp this truth, heart-transformation will occur. Secular materialism, the great religion of our age, is the second-hand smoke... Continue Reading
