God rescued His people out of slavery in Egypt. His greatest command to us is to “love one another.” Though the Bible does not support it, God’s Word does illuminate how slavery could happen. The fall...

The truth is, we all like to talk, and as humans we can figure out how to say things to create a certain impression. At least we can for a while. But eventually, who we really are and what we really b...

Jesus in these verses brings to light a truth about the gospel and Christianity that sometimes gets overlooked, especially when you live in a country like America. The gospel is confrontational. The g...

Isaiah 61 talks about believers being oaks of righteousness. As we study the concept of an oak tree today, may we have a greater appreciation for the meaning of this statement....

The Bible uses the word “man” throughout its pages. All twelve disciples were men. Many of the stories we read center on males, including those of Moses, Abraham, Paul, David and Joshua. But what does...

The Bible uses a lot of fruit metaphors. Paul encourages believers to "bear fruit," Jesus calls himself the vine and us the branches, even the Old Testament includes a list of Fruit of the Spirit. But...

The exhortation of Ecclesiastes is to release our perceived sense of control and enjoy the lot God has given us, no matter what’s thrown our way. In order to do this, we cannot just simply claim to ‘e...

If one wants to solely make an argument from Scripture, you’d be hard pressed to concoct a creation story that Adam’s fire wife was a demon who ended up haunting babies. The Scripture is not only sile...

I think Jesus was saying, you guys are going to have a tendency to remember all sorts of random and unprofitable worldly stuff, and are going to forget what I’ve taught you. So I’m going to give you a...

It’s often thought about, but rarely talked about. Yes, we’re going there. Let’s talk about sex. I’ve been in enough youth group meetings, women’s small groups and...

Clearly, in the age we live in, as we are facing high inflation rates and rising fuel and food prices, we need to know Him as Jehovah Jireh, God our Provider. We need to know that our source of susten...

“I’m proud of you.” It’s a notion we dish out and long to hear daily. But when is it sin? The Bible is clear that it’s ok to encourage and admonish each other and ...
