Not only can emotions be a guide to help us learn more about ourselves, but they can also direct us to learn more about the One who made them. We are crafted in God’s likeness; this includes the posse...

Christianity is the only faith with an empty grave, whose leader came back from the dead and walked and talked with his followers. Without the incarnation of God in the flesh and Jesus Christ’s resurr...

The Old Testament sacrifices show us it’s the blood which makes atonement. The life (blood) of the animal is poured out in its death, which brings peace between God and the people (Leviticus 17:11). J...

Just as our last words are precious and powerful, how much more so are the last words of Jesus? He knew his time on this earth was coming to an end and He didn’t waste that time. ...

As we think about this special relationship with God, we should remember our heavenly Father is not human (Numbers 23:19). “God is spirit” says John 4:24. Yet because God is Spirit, this can make Him ...
