The lessons drawn from the natural world were helpful both because they were well known as well as because they operated just the way God designed them to. The world does not ‘just happen’; it has been designed and made by God and continues because of His consistent control.   Have you noticed how many... Continue Reading

Adam and Eve are expelled from the presence of God.  The unity of their being, body and soul, has suffered catastrophic judgment under the curse of God, which begins a life of dying towards death.  The situation, as dire as could be, was not without hope though.  God pronounced his plan in the form of...

There is no Christ-following that will take us back to an America we once knew and loved. Following Christ takes us somewhere better. It takes us to where Christ is – to our heavenly country, our true home. As Thomas Adams once said, “Christ did not die to purchase this world for us.”   Some... Continue Reading

Our willingness to give in to distractions is often prompted by our fear of missing out. We need to know what’s going on in the world, what’s happening with our friends, and what the next cultural craze is. We don’t want to miss out on anything.

For this reason, we must test all ideas, philosophies, and ideologies by the standard of Scripture, which is nothing less than Christ’s word. The question we must always ask is... Continue Reading

We consider our past not as our present identity but as a means of celebrating what Christ has done in and for us, a means of understanding ourselves to aid in our sanctification, and a reminder to keep our focus on Christ not ourselves.    Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear: forget...

The moment to stop pleading is the moment when God speaks to assure you that his heart is now hardened and his hand, once opened to supply your needs, is now closed to cut them off. Until that day—a day that will never come—continue to pray, trusting that God continues to listen and to provide.... Continue Reading

Christians should be the first to proclaim that kids do not belong to the state. Like all human beings, children belong first to God, and He has entrusted them to mothers and fathers. Only in loco parentis do secondary authorities like relatives, neighbors, and teachers step in. To reverse this order has more in common with the... Continue Reading
