God promises he hears our prayers. God does not lie. Indeed, God cannot lie (Numbers 23:19, Hebrews 6:18). He is only and always good, truth, light, and love, the almighty and perfect, now and forever...

From the very beginning, we were created in God’s image. What an immense honor it is to have the features of God, to be like Him. If we have a sense of humor, then the One who created us has a sense o...

“'There is no peace,’ says my God, ‘for the wicked'" (Isaiah 57:21). From the moment sin entered the world, mankind forever lost perfect peace and harmony. The Lord told Adam in Genesis 3:17-19 that h...
Sometimes when we come to passages like Matthew’s condensed Christmas story, we don’t come with that childlike curiosity and wonder—looking at the everyday with awe, perceiving the familiar as fascina...

There is great power in a name. Names have a way of creating an identity and it’s how we are known by those around us. So what’s in a name? A lot, especially when it comes to God and his character. Le...

By understanding that even the Lord Jesus grieved, experienced sorrow, and felt the weight of loss, it gives believers permission to feel sad when a loved one passes away, even though believers who di...

Why does God compare our relationship with him to that of a bride and groom? In short, it’s a poignant and real-world way to exhibit the covenantal love and the selfless, everlasting stability Go...

People offered burnt offerings as a way to atone for their wrongdoings, to show appreciation for the Lord, and because they saw it as a way to appease God, whose wrath they feared. They hoped it would...

The reason why the Bible, God’s wisdom, should be the foundation for how we build our families is that He is the one who invented “family.” He knows how to make it work best, and then we will come int...

God's love is not like the love expressed by many in our culture today: a love of convenience and ego. God's unconditional love never fails, endures forever, is uncalculating, and not motivated by pe...

The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. You can’t have one without the other to come to as full an understanding of Scripture (and Him) a...

The Lord calls us in His Word to look out for the needs of the poor. We are to love them well. We are worshiping God when we care for them. We are loving Jesus when we love people who have needs....

Whether Jesus is speaking to an unbeliever, a believer grown cold over time, or a church that has lost its fire for Christ, the most important thing to know from this verse is that Jesus wants us—ever...

The Bible speaks volumes about life after death. Most Christians, and many non-believers as well, can tell you about Heaven and Hell and how to get there. But once we die and go to be with the Lord, w...

Peace is a running theme throughout the whole of scripture, usually using the Hebrew word shalom. Scripture, however, doesn’t throw the word around as a nice gesture. It has a deep meaning which could...
When we celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmastime, our attention is most often given to Luke’s account, because it gives us so much information. But Matthew's account is just as important in our u...
