What does it mean to be “in Christ,” and what does this mean for our salvation? Pastor Bill Kynes explains how this “profound mystery” is essential for joining us to our Lord. Only as we are “in Christ” are we chosen, called, regenerated, justified, sanctified, redeemed, assured of the resurrection, and given every spiritual blessing.

...What will be your legacy? What will you leave behind when you’re gone? Some will leave wonderful memories and stories; some, wreckage and sorrow; others, little at all. Bill Hendricks remembers his father as a model of one who invested his time on earth with a view of his future in heaven. Will you do the same?

...How much do you know about Martin Luther? Some scholars have called him a villain; others, a saint. C.S. Lewis scholar and theologian Art Lindsley gives us a brief biography of Luther, describing his upbringing, his life as a monk, his musical gifts, his marriage, his idiosyncrasies, and—most importantly—his love of Christ.
Description coming soon. . .
What are the influences that shape our lives and either make us a man or woman of God or of little use to mankind? Pastor A.W. Tozer lists six: Our friends, the literature we read, the music we listen to, the pleasures we seek, the ambitions we hold, and the thoughts we entertain. The wise Christian will take advantage of these and others to develop a Godly character.
...Too busy for Scripture? Drowning in daily worries? What if the very thing you’re neglecting is the one thing that could carry you through the chaos? John Chrysostom, one of the early church fathers, reminds us that Scripture is not just a book—it’s our full armor. Just as a tradesman can't work without his tools, we can’t fight life’s battles without the Word of God. It is our weapon, ou...
What can we learn from the early evangelicals of the 18th century on what it means to be a true disciple? Jonathan Edwards, John Newton, and George Whitefield point out the differences between faithful followers of Jesus and those only in name. These three key leaders offer us some insights on how to truly walk with Jesus through scripture, prayer, loving our neighbors, and communi...
Perhaps the most prominent and current figure who guides us in the endeavor of looking to Jesus for vocational vision is N.T. Wright. His work shows us the job and calling of the Church in the world. He helps us understand Jesus’ vision and how this should transform the way we interact with creation.
We, as Christians, are invited to change and grow on this side of Heaven. Nonetheless, this journey and path is not easily taken up. As Paul says, we must press on. So, how do we know we are growing? Genuine spiritual growth is an increase in the experience of the new life of which Jesus spoke when he said, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” See how you can partake...
If God already knows what we need, why should we bother to pray? Learn more about the nature of God and prayer. Discover how you can experience God’s presence and power through prayer in Jesus’ name.
Prudence is seeing the world as it truly is. Culture, from time immemorial, often hides true reality with a mask of gratification and pleasure. The world espouses messages like, “Sworn to fun! Loyal to none!”, but this is not the truth. Being unfaithful, in the end, is a painful life. As we soak in culture, at the movie theatres and elsewhere, we must have wis...
Eric Liddell, rugby and track phenom, used his athletic ability as a platform for sharing the Gospel. He understood that God gave him certain abilities in order to further God’s Kingdom on earth. Eric eventually hung up his Olympic track spikes to go serve as a missionary in China. Despite persecution, moral convictions, and trials, Eric remained faithful to God and served as an example ...
Apologetics has for a long time, been motivated either by guilt, because one has failed to give a defense or by pride, because one desires to win arguments. Nonetheless, a new and welcome change is motivating Christian Apologetics: Concern, which stems from true love for those around us.
The grace that comes to us in Jesus Christ is not measured. This grace refuses to allow itself to be tethered to our innate sense of fairness, reciprocity, and balancing of the scales. It is defiant.

May 7, 1963, Sherwood Wirt climbed the long wooden stairway to C.S. Lewis’s office, hoping to interview Lewis on his thoughts on the subject of writing. The interview, however, quickly morphed into a much different conversation.

The modern notion of Apologetics is often thought of as someone bringing philosophical ideas into a battle of wits, with the only thing coming from it being murkiness. The Bible calls for all Christians to be prepared to give a defense of their faith. How can we, as ordinary lay people, best understand and apply this command?

Is being jealous – red faced – a divine perfection? How can God be a God of love if the Old Testament seems to describe Him as jealous, angry, and ruthless?

Many are aware of the accomplishments of William Wilberforce and his successful initiatives to abolish slavery and introduce institutional reforms in the United Kingdom. What is not known, however, is that his work is indebted to his closest friends, the ‘Clapham Sect,’ a group of men and women dedicated to being instruments of social and moral welfare. This underground group was highly ...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
