Our Merciful High Priest
Jesus Christ, as the High Priest of the Church, was reliable before God and can be relied upon.

Both tablets of the LORD, were harmoniously and persistently observed, even when facing the most extreme and difficult circumstances – from birth to... Continue Reading
3 Things You Should Know about Amos
Amos teaches us that covenantal privilege cannot be separated from the demands of obedience to God’s commands.
The role of the prophet was to mediate between God and His covenant people by declaring God’s word and encouraging obedience to His requirements. They were guardians of the kingdom, seeking to hold kings and other leaders accountable to God for their actions. They can be regarded as enforcement mediators of the covenant, dedicated to...

A Review: ‘A Christian Guide to Mental Illness’ by David Murray and Tom Karel Jr
The church should never “underestimate the power of including those suffering with mental illness and welcoming them in the church family.”

Moment by moment, God answers. This is his daily bread. God shows us the next step, the next right thing to do.

Knowing Whom We Have Believed
Calling Evangelicals to Repentance
Paul encourages Timothy, primarily, in two ways. First, he reminds Timothy that God has not given His ministers a spirit of timidity or cowardice (v. 7), but rather has furnished them with the potent and effective tools of power, love, and self-discipline. Timothy, therefore, should be unashamed of the “witness about our Lord,” or of... Continue Reading
The Story of Creation Gives Us Purpose
