In Matthew 25:23, Jesus tells a parable that ends with the phrase "well done, good and faithful servant!" But this phrase is more than just a hearty pat on the back. So just what makes this phrase so ...

What do the religious leaders say to someone like Matthew? They tell him to repent. Change your life. Quit your job. Stop being such a lying, thieving, cheat. And then maybe God will have something to...

Systematic theology is comprised of the compilation and comprehension of all the pertinent passages in the Bible and then the encapsulation of them in a clear, teachable form so we have a firm foundat...

The father’s acknowledgment of his own weak faith and desperate plea for help is an important lesson for us today, for many of us struggle with faulty belief and trust in the only One who can possibly...

As with many parts of Christian history, the modern and highly secularized Mardi Gras masks the solemn and spiritual nature of Shrove Tuesday. As believers, we should take the time to understand the t...

Baptism is not an end; it is a beginning. One is baptized into a new life, as a sign of one’s new creation by the Spirit of Jesus, embodied within the context of a new community. In this way, despite ...

Everything dies, passes away, perishes. But what does perish mean in the Bible?...

The Bible is full of people who wrestled with God, in every way, and instead of rejecting them, he met them there. The father of a demon-possessed boy in Mark 9 said, “I believe; help my unbelief!” Je...

Even on the hardest days, we are all blessed if we have air to breath, food to eat, and a Savior who loves us completely. But let's be honest, some days it is much harder to remember that than others....

We see from Scripture that evangelist is the title, but evangelism is the role or function. This alone leads to an interesting question, who is responsible for evangelism? Even though there is a title...

The disciple who walked to Jesus on the water was the same one who denied Jesus three times. Simon Peter (Simon son of John/Jonah, given the name Peter, Petros, or Cephas meaning “rock” ...

The goal of giving is altogether related to the worship and the kingship of the Lord Jesus Christ in our lives. And that is why giving is better than receiving. The thing is, because of all of these t...
