If you go back to the early Christian Church, followers of Jesus struggled to love one another when they disagreed over significant matters. It is easy to love someone when you agree with them, but it becomes challenging to actually love someone when you don't agree. This is why Jesus told His disciples, By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have l...

Over the past weeks, we have been learning once again to wait on the Lord (Psalm 40:1). To beg Him for wisdom and direction. To diligently seek Him in His Word (Proverbs 2:1-6). These have been and will continue to be trying days, but we trust that God is accomplishing His perfect work through this season of trial (James 1:2-4). And so we, like Paul, desire to rejoice all ...

The Word of God is our unquestionable guide for faith and practice. In every season of life we have to check our biases, our desires, our opinions, and even our convictions against the Word of God. When the Lord has clearly spoken, our responsibility is to submit to it. However, at times it is hard to discern what the Holy Spirit's specific application of the Word is in a ...

We have created for ourselves a host of false g...

So even though the Christmas season has passed - the truths of Christmas must never pass. The truths of Christmas are needed every day if we are going to know God, love God, and live for God. Take comfort today and every day in the truths proclaimed by Christmas! ...

If we were given the choice to pick between something that looked ordinary and simple verses something that sparkled shined, we would most likely be drawn to the latter. In our nature, we seem to be drawn to the shiny. The pretty. The alluring. Perhaps we can trace it to the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve were instructed by God to enjoy everything in the garden except ...

Back in the day, people would talk about the "perspicuity" of the Bible - which simply means that the Bible is clear, understandable, not confusing. Now days, it sounds rather strange to use a confusing word like perspicuity to refer to the simplicity and clarity of the Bible. Anyway, the principle still stands - God revealed Himself in a clear and understandable Word. Th...
