Paul’s message to the church in Galatia serves as a gospel compass for navigating life with the cross of the risen and reigning Jesus as our focus and guide.

U. S. churches shine when it comes to gathering for meals...However, a pot luck meal is decidedly unlike another vital, Christian meal—the Lord’s supper—in at least two important ways.

... False teachings occasionally surface, suggesting that individuals can rise above the struggle with sin entirely in this life, but the Word of God says otherwise.

....Although prophecy constitutes almost one-third of the Bible, its importance is constantly downplayed by those who dismiss it as having no practical significance or those who object to it on the grounds that it takes people’s eyes off Jesus. Such cavalier dismissals of Bible prophecy fly in the face...

...Here are three ways you can care for the abortion-minded woman and
point her to the One who knows all about her and her situation—Jesus.

...We live in a highly charged political environment, and many Christians view abortion as more of a political issue than a theological and spiritual issue. This perspective often leads to prioritizing political solutions...

No act is more basic to the Christian life, to Christian worship, to piety, and
to growth than prayer and yet also so uniquely and strangely difficult.

... What inner sufficiency did Paul possess that enabled him to be content in all his circumstances or to rest in God’s sovereignty? It was the presence and peace of Jesus Christ living in him!

...When the Civil War began, Jackson saw his duties not only in the protection of his state, but as a divine call from God to lead His armies in battle to glorify Him.

The last judgment is an interesting court scene. It will not be like an earthly court. There will be no debate about guilt, no objections. There’ll be a prosecution, but no defense. There will be a judge, but no jury...

Do you love Jesus, but not the church? It’s a popular view. It sounds so logical and modern and enlightened...The problem is that the local church is central to God’s work in the world.

...The biblical authors never tell us to pray for persecution. In fact, when Paul does tell believers what to pray for, he says to pray for those in high positions that we might live peaceful and quiet lives.

It seems everyone has a view of Scripture. Some think it is verbatim God’s Word to us. Others believe the words themselves that are important; it is our experience..But what did Jesus say about Scripture?

...When we admit that we are wrestling with spiritual hosts of evil in the heavenly place, we must also recognize that the battle is being fought in our everyday interactions in the church and in the home.

Eschatology is about God’s ultimate goal—his telos, his purpose, his intended end—of creation. God makes nothing purposelessly—to exist is to have a telos. And the telos of creation is its glorification.
