Through our union with Christ, all the blessings of Israel become ours. But this new covenant obedience is different than that of the Old Testament. It is not a servile obedience, but a friendship obe...

“'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...

“Awesome” is an appropriate word to use for God, and it’s not to be used flippantly. The Psalmist rightly asks, “Who is like the LORD our God?” (Psalm 113:5). He is unequaled and unsurpassed. Anyone w...

God knows that life in this sin-sick world will challenge us, and we will need help “when you pass through the waters.” But what does it mean that He made this promise to Israel thousands of years ago...

Modern readers tend to shy away from the concept of prophecy. But the Bible is holy. It is "God-breathed." We can trust every word it contains. How? Because it makes predictions that came true, some t...

In the book of Job, the author mentions two incredible beasts: Leviathan and Behemoth. The descriptions of these creatures is mind-boggling and doesn't relate to any animal on earth, today or in histo...
