What would it be like as a Christ-follower to have God say of you that you “did everything He commanded you?” It would definitely be the greatest and most humbling thing that had ever been said about you. 

In our mondern day, so many proclaiming Christians have discounted this story, even going so far as to call it myth. However Jesus cited the story of Noah as fact, and even used it as an exampl...

From time to time, as we study the Scriptures, we encounter passages that force us to pause and consider a deep and profound call to action or belief. For many people, both Christ-followers and unbelievers, these passages are so uncomfortable that the easiest approach is to skip over them and ignore them. 

However, Scripture makes it very clear throughout its pages that this is not an option for ...

How should fallen humans approach the Holy God to worship Him? Of course, humans should worship God; that is obvious, but how? How can sinful beings come before the perfect, holy, and all-powerful God without being immediately consumed? 

This was one of the many problems that impacted humanity as a result of the sin of Adam and Eve in the garden. Their once open and intimate relationship with God...

What is the ultimate consequence of sin? Is it a guilty conscience? Is it public embarrassment? Is it broken relationships, hurting others, or perhaps even loss? It could be all or part of these but are any of these really the ultimate consequence for sin? 

The reality is that there is only one ultimate consequence for sin, and that is separation from God. When we sin, we remove ourselves from th...

Everyone knows the story of the fall. A creepy snake tempts Eve into eating some fruit from some tree in some garden that God had made, and just like that, sin, death, and destruction become part of the world we know and live in today. But is that really all there is to the story, or does the sin that caused the fall go deeper than Eve’s actions?

The reality is that it wasn’t just Eve; Adam took ...

“Let us make man in our own image.” How can we even begin to understand all that those simple words contain? We, as humans, are made in the image of God! What are the implications of such a reality? If we are made in God’s image, what does that say about us? What does that say about Him? What does it say about our uniqueness? What does it say about our purpose?

God did not utter those words about...

The creation account. It’s more than just the first sentence of the Bible. In truth, Genesis 1:1 is a worldview packed into ten words. At its core, it is the declaration to all creation of who God is. It tells humanity that God is all-powerful, sovereign, unrivaled, and the one true God. In order to create all that is, God must be a being that is “uncreated,” immortal, and without beginning. It speak...

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, there is a recurring theme that consistently appears whenever humans encounter the Divine: they fell at His feet. This posture of humility showed their humility and worship of God. It showed the incredible disparity between the position of man and the position of God. However, there is a distinct difference between falling at the feet of God in fear of His overw...

Let’s be honest: humans love to be comfortable. We strive for comfort by building comfortable homes, comfortable vehicles, and comfortable furniture. We love to come home at the end of the day and trade in our work clothes in favor of comfortable clothes. We like to be comfortable in our jobs, relationships, and community. In fact, we do just about everything we can to avoid being uncomfortable.

Nothing calms the anxiety and fear of the human heart more than knowing the end of the story. Some of us, and you know who you are, read the end of every book before reading the book from start to finish! However, joking aside, it makes sense that we, as humans, want to know the end of every story. We want to know how it will all turn out. Will it be a happy ending or a sad ending? Will the suffering...

Do you have hope? Hope is a powerful force. It can give us strength to push through trials, endure suffering, and overcome hardships. Hope can ground us even in the darkest of days. When nothing seems to be as it should be, where is your hope? What is it that you look forward to that keeps you going even when everything seems hopeless? 

The Christians Peter wrote to in his letters were going thro...

What is the evidence of ultimate love?

Is it affection?

Is it romance?

Is it loyalty?

Is it commitment? 

Something else?

The answer can be found in one person. He was the only person to exemplify ultimate love in all of its beauty and radiance. His name is Jesus Christ, and with His life, or perhaps more accurately, His death, He demonstrated the ...

Obedience to God is not easy, specifically because it requires self-sacrifice. However, obedience to God is always worth it. God is good. Please do not misunderstand that statement. God does not just do good things or act in good ways; God is good. We know what good is because of God. Without God, there is no good and nothing good. 

Since this is true, we know we can trust God to reward thos...

The truth of the matter is that no one enjoys suffering. Suffering is uncomfortable, inconvenient, painful, and discouraging. In fact, humans take incredible measures to avoid suffering. Humanity will exert effort, spend money, and invoke creativity, going to nearly any length to remove potential suffering from life. However, Jesus and His disciples talked a great deal about suffering in the New Test...

Is it possible to be free AND a servant? Is it possible to gain more freedom through deeper service? In humankind's darkened thinking, the answer seems to be, "No!" However, God's ways are not man's ways, and His thoughts are higher than man's thoughts. 

The Apostle Peter understood the "freedom paradox," and he wanted his churches and all the generati...

As the redeemed sinner begins to walk with God and learn about who God is, this living heart causes the believer to understand that the earth they have always known as their home is no longer home for them.
