We are living in a day and age where confusion about how to live, what is right, what is wrong, what is good, what is not is running rampant. There are more than 64 million Google results for this question, “What should I do?” Wouldn’t it be great if...

There is something special about being on a first-name basis. Of all the things about the God who created this world that is amazing, we serve a God who wants to be on a first-name basis with us. Over 2700 years ago, a prophet by the name of Isaiah...

If you are into truth and you think that sin ought to be dealt with in a tough way, then there is something for you to learn. If you are into tolerance and think sin should be dealt with in a tender way, there is something for you to learn. If you...

Jesus said there is such a thing as truth and not just “a” truth, but “the” truth. There is truth with a little “t” and then there is truth with a big “T.” There is earthly truth that is true, but not life changing, but there is eternal truth that...

Interestingly, did you know that Jesus never said the word, “grace?” Jesus oozed grace, but He never talked about it. In fact, the word “grace” appears only four times in the gospels and Jesus never used it. By the way, something else Jesus never...

From the womb, He was God who came down from heaven, but from the tomb, He was a man who came back from the dead. John says something else that tells us what made Jesus so unique. He tells us what it was that drew people from all walks of life to...

There is no hurt like the betrayal of a friend - someone you loved or completely trusted. It is one thing to be deceived by an enemy; it is another thing to be disappointed by a friend. That can destroy your self-esteem, your ability to trust other...

There is only one cure for guilt, and the best doctors, the best surgeons, the best psychiatrists, the best counselors, the best psychologists, the best advisors, and the best medicines in all the world cannot cure this illness. There is only one cure...

There is a train of thought led by groups ranging from the New Atheists, to many scientists, and many philosophers who say that God is missing because God is not there. They deny any evidence for God's existence. Many say that God is just a...

If anybody needs to have the discussion of racism, it is the church. Evangelicals think the church plays a critical role in racial reconciliation. The Evangelical church thinks it is the best equipped to deal with racial reconciliation, but they...

In this day of extreme political partisanship, uneasy racial tension, increasing lack of civility and public discourse, there are few things we can find that everybody can agree on. There is one thing that no one objects to and that is that no one...

The statistics are not pretty. There has been an explosion of free explicit pornography content that is constantly expanding because anyone, anywhere can put a video on at any time. And this is not just an adult problem. Pornography is not just a...

Two men died on either side of Jesus on that Good Friday. One made the wrong choice and will be separated from God forever. One made the right choice and is with God right now. You will make that choice about Jesus one way or the other. If you want...
