Jesus is called the Lamb of God and the Last Adam. These two titles help us understand how Jesus’ death paid the penalty for our sin. As the Lamb of God, He fulfilled the Law as the perfect sacrifice....

Like so many things, food and drink can either control us, or we can be the one in control. (The fruit of the Spirit includes self-control, Galatians 5:22-23 reminds us.) We can choose to use what we ...

Some issues in the Christian life matter more than others. The apostle Paul made a distinction between matters that were primary to the gospel, and issues that were not. In 1 Corinthians 15:3 he write...
