  • Recreated by the Master

    “Sin is a rock through the canvas of God’s perfect portrait, a hammer upon the crystal perfection of his image. The remnant’s of canvas and the chards of crystal may appear beautiful in themselves, but they are just ruins of the masterpiece, beyond repair and worthless. Only God can take…

  • Growing in Christ, Not Just in Knowledge

    The words of Jesus in Luke 11:52 are sobering: “Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.” (BSB) Here, the Lord rebukes the religious scholars of His day—not for…

  • Therefore

    It is an old Bible teacher’s quippy yarn that when you encounter the word “therefore” in the text, you should look above it to see what it is there for. It’s not exactly a hermeneutical principle, but it is worth considering in that it does indicate some kind of conclusion…

  • We Need God’s Grace

    Scripture is clear: fallen humanity, in its natural state, is unable to seek, see, or believe in Christ without divine intervention.

    To meet a fellow believer in Christ and, within moments, experience a profound sense of unity is a wonder that defies explanation. It transcends natural relationships and social norms, revealing the powerful work of the Holy Spirit within us. This bond, uniting believers across time, space, age, and culture, is…

  • Encouragement for the Disheartened

    In moments of deep discouragement, it can feel as though the weight of the world is pressing upon our souls. Perhaps it’s the struggles of daily life, a burden too heavy to carry, or an unanswered prayer that has left you feeling disheartened. When our hearts grow weary and our…

  • The Greatest Bible Scholars

    We live in an era where knowledge is abundant and easily accessible, but there is no voice more compelling, no wisdom more enduring, than what has been gifted to us through the pens of the apostles: Peter, Paul, John, James, Jude, and the others. And here’s something wonderful—they all speak…

  • The Fallacy of Christian Nationalism

    Of late, Christian nationalism has emerged as a movement that attempts to merge Christian identity with national identity, advocating for a society governed by laws that reflect a specific interpretation of Christian values. Alongside this, theonomy—the belief that civil government should be based on God’s law—has also found renewed support.…
