John didn’t intend for Revelation to be read in light of CNN or Fox News. He wanted the local news to be interpreted in light of Revelation. God is at work in the world, and he gave us this precious book to discover it on our journey to the new heavens and earth. Without... Continue Reading
If you have seen Him…it doesn’t matter your culture or background; it doesn’t matter your denomination…this sight has forever changed you…You cannot deny that Jesus is worthy. A few months ago I was doing some genealogical work, and it’s got me thinking a lot about the Quakers because, for many generations, my ancestors were... Continue Reading
There’s no such thing as perfect parents. Weak men and women are all God has to work with. God uses weak men and women who trust in Him to bring up children in the fear of the Lord. And God, as a our perfect Father in heaven, does the miraculous work of salvation. Everyone... Continue Reading
We must give up any thought that we have any claims on God. There is not one of us who deserves anything from God! In the end, the only right way to respond to grace is to express amazement that God has given us grace at all. Big Idea: Grace isn’t a paycheck; it’s... Continue Reading
“If it’s only about being on the side of Israel in geopolitical matters, they can do things that are ungodly. And by supporting those things that are ungodly, I’m an enemy of God. But because I have reduced this idea to just supporting a geopolitical nation, I’ve completely missed the point.” The transcript below... Continue Reading
Do justly. Love mercy. Walk with God. It’s not legalism to be really serious about doing these things. And deciding not to do these things deprives us of innumerable blessings. Finally, Paul says, Walk humbly with God. There are actually two ways we think of walking. One is with the emphasis on where you’re... Continue Reading
Bold and clear evangelism—pointing to the resurrected Jesus as the only one big enough to save us from sin and satisfy our deepest existential longings—is precisely what our increasingly nihilistic age needs. A 2026 study found that one-third of Americans are currently experiencing an existential crisis of meaning, including 39% of Millennials and an... Continue Reading
To remember the Huguenots is not merely to honor the past. It is to anchor our present convictions in the gospel they so dearly loved and were willing to die for. Their legacy calls us to live with courage, to serve faithfully, and to trust the sovereign God who carried them through the fire. ... Continue Reading
In a day when so many seem so unclear as to where to find truth or where to place authority, grounding ourselves anew in the authority inherent within the Christian faith is just the place to start. In a day when the very idea of truth, much less authority, is in such debate, it... Continue Reading
Christians read often of the exploits of 19th century missionaries like Hudson Taylor who went to China, and William Carey who took the Gospel to India. But for every great missionary we know there are hundreds whose names and work for the Kingdom of Heaven will never be known this side of eternity. The 19th... Continue Reading
Instead of being wayward and wandering, we are to be wary and watchful; we are to struggle against the world, the flesh, and the devil, and we are to pursue “holiness without which no one will see the Lord”. In short, united to Jesus by faith, we are to strive for a closer walk with... Continue Reading
If we are to take the New Testament witness seriously, then we must agree that anger is neither an appropriate attitude nor a strategy for the disciples of Jesus Christ. The New Testament writers seem to speak in an unqualified way about the danger of anger in the life of the believer and the... Continue Reading
Through the gospel, Jesus becomes our brother, the new creation our home, and perfect righteousness our destiny. The salvation we’ve experienced can be the joyous experience of others—if only we boast in the Lord and not in ourselves. If only all our boast is in Jesus. All of us have an issue with boasting....

When the Son, who is the Truth, shows you the Word of his Father, which is truth, by the Spirit of Truth, do you reject it? Like Ahab, you may think it’s harmful and an “evil word” to your heart, but the real harm lies in rejecting the Word of Truth, even God himself. ... Continue Reading
We often think of the Sabbath as a burden instead of a gift. But as Jesus said, man was not made for the Sabbath; the Sabbath was made for man. And that is because God is for us, not against us. A recent article by science writer Elizabeth Svoboda at the Wall Street Journal... Continue Reading
This is not optional.…we go on killing sins as they attack us from day to day. We do not settle in with sin. We fight and we kill it. Mortification of Sin It is both relief and heartache to know that all true believers have sin remaining in them in this life. The apostle... Continue Reading
Compassion enters suffering. It does not eliminate the sufferer. If suffering is merely random, ending the sufferer’s life can masquerade as mercy. But if a sovereign God rules over this world, suffering is never meaningless or beyond His reach. Christianity rejects that counterfeit compassion. We entrust ourselves to Christ and enter the burdens of others.... Continue Reading
