We are watching a civilization crumble in real time. And it looks eerily familiar. Not because history repeats itself word for word, but because sin always walks the same path. Ancient Rome didn’t fall the day the barbarians crossed the border. It fell long before—when truth was mocked, families were broken, men were feminized, and... Continue Reading

Grace exposes in order to cover, not to shame. Grace desires compassion more than clicks. Grace doesn’t add blows to the already shattered, but offers restoration.   By now you’ve seen it. It’s all over every social media platform. I saw it on the late news last night and on the early news this morning.... Continue Reading

The Bible is filled with captivating narratives, from the epic tales of the patriarchs to Jesus’ miraculous ministry. They not only reveal God’s character, but they also reveal what it truly means to be human, created and redeemed in His image. The best stories tell the truth about who we are.   Before its debut...

For many, the weight of past trauma or failure can feel like a mark... Continue Reading

Psalm 122 doesn’t tell you how you should interpret news from the Middle East. It describes how you should think about and live in the church.   Psalm 122 calls people to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” and to seek her good (6, 9).

To serve our own generation is not a single action, done at once, and over for ever; it is to continue to serve all our life. Notice well that David served “his own generation”; not only a part of it, but the whole of it. He began to serve God, and he kept on serving... Continue Reading
