  • Fighting Sin the Wrong Way

    There is a common but dangerous error in the Christian life: we run to Christ for forgiveness, and then turn to the law or self-effort for strength to fight sin. This was the very issue Paul addressed with sharp concern to the Galatians: “Are you so foolish? After starting in…

    John Piper at TGC: Can AI Offer True Praise? A Call for Discernment in Ministry

    At the 2025 Gospel Coalition National Conference, John Piper issued a pointed challenge regarding the growing use of artificial intelligence in Christian ministry. His remarks centered on a simple but piercing question: Can AI offer true praise to God? During his address, Piper shared a striking example. He had asked…

  • A Scandal of Righteousness!

    A Scandal of Righteousness!

    My dear reader, let me introduce you to a sublime thought.  A radical pronouncement.  Our text of consideration is Romans 10:1-13 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For,…

  • You Will Not Fear the Terror of the Night

    We live in a world soaked with sorrow and marred by death, and no hour is immune to trouble. But the promise of Psalm 91 is not that danger will never exist—but that the believer shall not be afraid. This is not a shallow encouragement; it is a strong declaration…

  • Christ Enthroned

    The crucified Christ now reigns in glory. He who once bore our shame now wears majesty. Acts 5:31 declares with triumph that “God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior.” The One who stooped to serve is now exalted to rule. The One who died to save…

  • False Expectations

    False Expectations

    It’s a hard truth, but one we need to hear: God never promised His people ease, comfort, or a rose garden in this life. That notion doesn’t come from Scripture—it comes from our longing for relief. And while the longing itself is not sinful—who doesn’t long for peace and rest?—we…

  • Who Is Even at the Right Hand of God

    Jesus Christ, the Risen One, is not seated there merely as King—but as our Representative. He did not ascend alone. By virtue of our union with Him, when He was raised, we were raised. When He was seated in honor, we were seated in Him. “Who is there to condemn…

  • My Redeemer Lives!

    Job’s confession is simple but thunderous: “I know that my Redeemer lives. (Job 19:25)” At the heart of this comfort is one small word: “my.” Job did not merely say, “There is a Redeemer,” or even, “The Redeemer lives.” He said, “My Redeemer lives.” This is not merely theological knowledge—it’s…

  • The Call to Arms

    The Church of God is not a passive gathering but an active army. The people of God, described as the “sacramental host of God’s elect,” are still engaged in warfare—not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Jesus Christ, the Captain of our salvation,…
