In creation, we have the Spirit breathing His energy, releasing the power of God in the act of creation. We have the same thing in the act of redemption, and we see it again in the divine act of giving to us the record in the Scriptures themselves. The doctrine of inspiration is entirely related...

While the issues today are certainly more complex than those faced 500 years ago (or even in Bible times), the fundamental issue is the same. Man is sinful. And sinful creatures sin. “Now, isn’t that an overly simplistic way of interpreting today’s events?” you may ask. Maybe it is. But it is an answer that,... Continue Reading

As I worked my way through Tisby’s portrayal of the truculence and degradation of chattel slavery, I was struck by a singular irony: that Christians who embrace the tenets of CRT overwhelmingly support a sin even more heinous than slavery.  Not a sin committed hundreds of years ago by people we have never met, and...

Elijah, Naomi and Ruth, and the gospel show us that from brokenness comes God’s provision. Let’s be clear: the brokenness must not be brushed under the rug and ignored, but instead the brokenness should point to the beauty of God’s provision of new beginnings.  Brokenness comes in a multitude of different forms. Elijah’s brokenness came from... Continue Reading

The Gospel is preached to all people everywhere. The invitation is for all to come. The world knows of Jesus as loving and that Heaven is a nice place. Most people assume that since they have been invited that that is enough for them to end up in heaven. These would be the five foolish... Continue Reading

As much as we might find various forms of “toxic masculinity” in the animal kingdom, a good candidate for “toxic femininity” is the ostrich. This giant bird cares little for her young. She leaves them to be trampled on. God directs Job to wonder at such unnatural heartlessness. And yet, for the past 48 years... Continue Reading

Christian martyrs of old used to boldly confess that “To live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21) as they visited the sick and dying and stood boldly for the glorious name of Jesus Christ even as war, plague, and persecution were all around them. Where is such zeal for the Lord today?... Continue Reading

He’s generous. More than generous. And He’s sovereign. It’s His prerogative to do whatever good He chooses to do. Look at life with this frame of mind—don’t consider any issue by how you think God should have done it. The frame of mind you need to have is considering how God has actually chosen to do... Continue Reading

“Virtually anywhere in our culture right now, everyone is put in a binary: Us versus them. You pick your us, you pick your them. It’s opposing sides, it becomes about power, not understanding, and then they collide. That will have disastrous implications on culture, as well as the next generation and the health of our...

Ultimately, the Word of God penetrates where politics cannot. The question arises as to whether Scripture is used as a cudgel—or to speak life into death, and light into darkness. While the pro-abortion movement possesses the massive microphones of media, academia, and at least two branches of government, the pro-life movement contains one: The Word... Continue Reading
