There is a reason why the Gospel is also referred to as the “truth.” It is not opinion or conjecture. It is not a series of tales that can be altered for the sake of proving one point today and an opposing point tomorrow. The Gospel of Jesus Christ, the good news, is concrete and…

Psa. 130:5‭-‬6I wait for the Lord , my soul waits, And in His word do I hope. My soul waits for the Lord More than the watchmen for the morning; More than the watchmen for the morning. One would be hard-pressed to find a person who would say that exercising patience is a joy. There…

Recently, I watched a superhero movie with a rather unique premise. A wizard in another dimension was suffering through old age and looking for a successor. His search took him to Earth, where he was charged with finding a child who is pure of heart. He searched for some time but could find none. In…

If we want to see a journey of faith through highs and lows, a heart that chases after God despite its faults and failures, the bible has several examples. Of them, we probably gain the most insight from the life of the writer of Psalm 119. These prayers are intimate, transparent, sincere, desperate and inquisitive.…

For this reason, it may seem like Jude wrote with incredible foresight. In actuality, the problem he describes, and the solution he offers, are…

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ was the beginning of a great transformation of humanity. In Paul’s first letter to the church at Corinth, he tells us that, through His resurrection, Jesus became the first fruits of those who have died [1 Cor. 15:20]. His resurrection was a foreshadowing of the resurrection of many…

If you surveyed a random sampling of Christians and asked them whether they would accept God’s provision in their lives, it is likely they would all answer in the affirmative. It makes complete sense that someone who is committed to following Christ and being completely dependent on Him would accept what He provides. The bible…

What I have always found most compelling about Jesus Christ is that the Creator came to earth in the form of His own creation to experience our physical reality.  We do not serve a God to whom our earthly trials are foreign.  We serve a God who knows hunger, pain, cold, betrayal, distress, weakness and…
