He longs for us to come, knowing that one day we will realize it is the best place. But, until then, He waits as we sort through the world’s gods and distractions, vainly thinking there is something better there. How much better it would be to consciously enter His presence at first light—to draw near—and... Continue Reading

Most of our culture’s elite storytellers are pro-abortion; that is why “The Pre-Persons” has never been adapted for the screen and has not been republished in nearly four decades. Stories shape culture, and abortion activists own virtually all the major franchises. The past few years have seen the propaganda machine ramp up with a stream... Continue Reading

The triune nature of God shows that He is relational, loving, self-giving, and personal. God is not just some distant, cosmic force. He has personhood.

A church that knows what it believes and faithfully practices it demonstrates stability in a world of confusion. Of course, confessional integrity requires courage. Our culture pressures pastors to soften hard doctrines or to recast biblical truth in language more... Continue Reading

Faith anticipates God’s goodness, even when ministry feels fruitless and the clay pot seems shattered. There is a resurrection coming. It may come immediately. But if not, that’s where this journey is headed. Every time your pot breaks, remember—it’s not the end. You’re not home yet.    Think about where you feel afflicted right now.... Continue Reading

A hymnal is a deeply human work. What you hold in your hands is real music, written and selected by real believers who you will one day spend eternity with.⁠ And what’s in there stays there. There is no refresh button. No infinite scroll. No additions or subtractions. And that’s a wonderful thing. The nature... Continue Reading
