The Sin of Schism
Division in the church always hurts, definitely when it comes to your church. There are different types of division, though. Many cry foul of conservative Christians whose mission is to preserve the authority and inerrancy of Scripture—and in doing so, we divide. They say, “Doctrine divides.” Yes, indeed it does. Doctrine divides truth from falsehood;…

Work Heartily
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3:23-24) What do you do for work? Maybe you’re a banker, or perhaps you work in retail. Whatever it is, you can…

God, You Are
The Psalms are filled with statements about what God is like. And in his new book entitled God, You Are from Crossway, William R. Osborne seeks to show all children all of the “God, you are” statements in the Psalms. From “God, You Are with Me” and “God, You Are My Hiding Place” to “God,…

On Being Humble
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.” (Philippians 2:3) Are you humble? Usually that’s something you need to let someone else answer for you. Even if we are correct in saying we’re humble, it always sounds . . . not humble. Humility is a very important…

Eternal, Abiding Peace
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1) We are all born in a state against the holy God of the universe. Because of original sin, we inherit that sinful nature. As the late RC Sproul once said, “We’re not sinners because we…

Praying with the Trinity
Praying is a beautiful thing. When done biblically, it is a sincere act of worship to our God. But sometimes, more than we’d care to admit, prayer is a fight. It’s a fight because we’re still in our flesh and desire to be independent from God, for prayer is an admission that we need God.…

Wait
“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”(Psalm 27:14 ESV) I am abysmal at waiting, and it’s because I’m naturally an impatient person. Not all of us are naturally impatient, but I’m sure none of us enjoy waiting. Waiting on the drive-thru order; waiting on test results…

Not All Religions are the Same
Many people—whether atheist, agnostic, or any other type of skeptic—claim that all religions are the same. They say that each religion essentially believes the same things with different angles. Therefore, they say, no religion is wrong—all religions are equally valid. This is a poor and lazy attempt at appeasing everyone and not offending anybody. If…

Why so Anxious?
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7) God doesn’t want us to be anxious. He desires for us…
