The point of a book like this, as I say, is to get both Christians and non-Christians to think again about the sort of world that we live in. And that is so important, because “we are all on a path either toward or away from the God who revealed himself in the Bible.” (p.... Continue Reading

“Bill Hill exemplified the qualities of faith and courage as magnificently as any man I have ever known. He was Daniel and the three young men compressed into one, wearing a black suit and a black bow tie. He believed God was able—and proved it—to the amazement of friend and foe alike. And he had...

The complaints of the godless, the scoffing of the spiritless damned, mean nothing to the woman of beauty. The world crucified beauty incarnate when He refused to bow to their standards. But God is raising up a generation of women who will defy the lies of the age, laugh at the days to come, and... Continue Reading

All our best efforts are tainted by our sinful state. Philosophers such as Immanuel Kant believed happiness could be found in human reason, but this quest is doomed to failure before even starting, because the sinful mind is incapable of reasoning in an uncorrupted fashion since the fall in the garden of Eden.   The...

She attends school, plays with friends, and tackles homework — the familiar rhythm of an 8th... Continue Reading

As we encounter Christ through the Gospels and see how he shows relational curiosity, compassion, and kindness to those around him, we will, by the Holy Spirit’s power, be transformed into his likeness.   My daughter Sophia loves murder mysteries and hates cliffhangers. Anything about Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot is right up her alley.... Continue Reading

Many confuse unity with uniformity – that superficial sameness that only runs skin deep. Unity isn’t manufactured through external conformity. It emerges organically when believers focus together on something greater than themselves – the Lord Jesus Christ. A tragic lesson about focus emerges from the story of Eastern Airlines Flight 401.
