In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:4 Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). It’s not just a...

We are in an age of rage. Rage is the norm, and it’s on display across society. News media. Social media. Politics. Anger toward a person like Charlie Kirk is not merely a matter of opinion or disagreement, it tells us something important about their heart. Jesus said it in John 8:44: “You are...

“O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?” (Galatians 3:1). Paul’s words pierce the lies of religion based on human effort. The Galatians had begun in faith but had slipped into adding works to their salvation. We see the same today: men and women trust in Christ, then turn to church...

The tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk has left many asking why such evil is allowed to happen. But the truth is, this world has always hated the light. The news of Charlie Kirk’s shooting hit many of us with disbelief and grief. Whether or not you agreed with him on every issue, it is safe to say...

The Bible is not shy about the ugliness of unbelief. “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God” (Psalm 53:1). Pay attention, it does not say, the mind or the intellect. It says, “the fool hath said in his heart”. When people deny God it is not because they have any evidence against His...

When people think of giving, they think of slipping money into a collection plate or getting scolded about owing ten percent. But that’s a shallow and distorted picture. Sadly, it’s what so many churches focus on as if financial obligation is the heart of belonging to the Church. But the Bible...

Repentance: The Forgotten Command That Determines Eternity The missing word in today’s Gospel is repentance. When was the last time you heard someone preach repentance? If you had to guess, it’s been a long time for most of us. But flip open the Bible and you’ll find the word on every page...

Acts 16 records one of the more exciting chapters in the New Testament. This one takes place in a Philippian jail. The jailer had just concluded all his prisoners had escaped due to the earthquake. He was about to hang himself when Paul shouted, “Do thyself no harm: for we are all here” (Acts...

Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. ~ 2 Corinthians 3:10 Paul draws a strong distinction between the two covenants in 2 Corinthians 3. The old covenant, written on tablets of stone, was holy and glorious, but...

Ever lay awake at night with your heart racing, wondering if God has forgotten you? You’re not alone. But the Bible says, “All the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen” (2 Corinthians 1:20). Anxiety lies, but God’s Word never does. Even when the answer feels delayed, Scripture...

In the wilderness God provided water for Israel by a rock. This miracle of provision was also a prophetic picture of Christ and His finished work on the cross. The apostle Paul understood and explained it, “they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ” (1...

Apostasy is not coming. Apostasy is here. Jude wrote, “Certain men… crept in unawares… ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness” (Jude 1:4). Apostates sit in pulpits, write books, and livestream sermons. But they twist the truth and pour poison into the flock. Jesus said...

The world’s fixation on self-promotion and personal comfort receives a sudden shock from Paul’s words which state “Though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them” (1 Corinthians 9:19). Paul maintained his independence from public judgment yet he...

God’s word makes it clear that the work of the ministry is a sacred calling, not a business. “A hireling,” Jesus said, “does not care for the sheep, but a wolf snatches them away. He does this because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep” (John 10:12–13). Too many pulpits are now...

Many people today think they are safe because they once prayed a prayer, attended church, or claimed to believe in Jesus. Yet the Bible warns that some will “depart from the faith” (1 Timothy 4:1). The Greek word used for “depart” is the root of our word “apostatize.” It describes someone who...

Most people today think they’re wise. They chase after information, degrees, self-help, and spiritual “insight” from every corner of culture. But the Bible makes it clear—there’s a wisdom from God that this world will never understand. It’s not taught in classrooms or uncovered through...

Something is just a little bit off in the church today. A certain lust has come into the faith of too many professing Christians, but they don’t realize it’s there because it comes so subtly. The lust to be impressed. To be wowed. To sit under smooth-talking preachers and gospel salesman with...

In a world obsessed with intellect, credentials, and self-promotion, the message of the cross still sounds like nonsense to most. That’s exactly how God said it would be. “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1...

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. ~ Romans 13:11 We live in a generation of sleeping people. Sleeping through work, sleeping through play, sleeping through life. We are busy being...

For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” ~ Romans 9:15 You don’t want to hear this. Most people in this society don’t want to hear this. But the Bible says it: not all who call themselves God’s children are His...
