God's desire for us to worship Him is for our benefit, in countless ways. Here are some of the most life-changing....

Most of this passage in Ephesians addresses the role of the husband. I know much has been made in our society and in the church especially of the submission of the wife, but this passage spends more t...

What rolls off your tongue more easily, complaints or gratitude? While reading about Brother Andrew, a missionary who smuggled Bibles into communist countries, I asked myself that question. In God’s S...

Early in my faith journey, I routinely felt stuck. Stuck in my anxiety and fear, my ungodly responses, bitterness I couldn’t seem to shake, and my constant negative self-talk. I often felt like a fail...

God’s grace is not bestowed on us because of our good works, but it is bestowed on us to enable us to do the good works that God had in mind for us to do before the creation of the world!...
In Ephesians 2 Paul takes us down to the Death Valley of the Soul and then up to “the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” The journey’s contrast will enhance our appreciation for what we have in Christ ...

When navigating the world, we want to have confidence in others, but it can be difficult as people fail and let one another down. The Bible assures the believer that there is someone they can always a...

As believers, it does not matter who we are, what we do for a living, or how long we have been a Christian; none of us are immune to the enemy's vicious attacks in our lives or marriages. Satan is on ...

We read throughout the Bible that God is Triune. He is three in one. We can allow this fact about Him to intimidate us, or we can press into the joy, mystery, and reality of how He describes Himself....

As gleaned from these passages, we know the Nicolaitans sought to teach the church something other than the truth. Whether they added to or subtracted from, we do not know....

When we consider the words “No trespassing” in our modern culture, this means that there is a clear boundary established that we are not legally allowed to break. In a similar way, and biblically spea...

It is clear here that Paul is indeed saying that, like a tattered old coat, we should take off our old self and put on the new and far-improved one — our “Jesus cloak.” We do this by striving to ...

The sword of the Spirit is the only offensive weapon we get in the armor of God, so you better learn how to use it and use it well. Here's how you can do that....

Since Christ's work on the sinner’s behalf was the only work necessary for salvation, biblical Christianity is not a works-based approach to salvation. It’s all God. But Peter suggests that our salvat...

The Bible doesn’t directly say “don’t go to bed angry,” but it’s close. Ephesians 4:26 says, “Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger.” God’s ultimate act of reconciliation (...

Reality has a fixed nature which is true and unaffected by a person’s beliefs, perceptions or experiences. We can say reality has an objective nature because God created the heavens and the earth...
We were looking for God’s will as if it were buried treasure. But that didn’t make sense. Wouldn’t God want us to know His will? Why would He hide it from us? It was as if we were assuming God is a Co...

Especially around the Halloween season, we can hear a lot about demons, otherwise known as “fallen angels.” We see depictions of these beings in movies, TV shows, and in popular literatu...
