When silence becomes sin.
Written by Kendall Lankford | Monday, December 1, 2025
Let us confess the silence we marketed as kindness. Let us confess the carefully curated half-truths we deployed to shield our pride. Let us confess the quietness that protected our idols rather than our neighbors. And let us come to the One slandered for our salvation, who lives to intercede for us, who fills our mouths with words both faithful and true.

Most of the conflicts we face as Christians require us to fight less and wait more on the Lord.
Written by Confex Makhalira | Monday, December 1, 2025
Paul exhorts us, “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer” (Romans 12:12). But I lacked patience in this ministry conflict. I was often in fighting mode instead. That was unwise and obviously worsened the conflict.

The Republic of Teksasistan.
Written by Virgil Walker | Monday, December 1, 2025
Texas can remain Texas, or it can sleepwalk into the Republic of Teksasistan. The future will not be decided by politicians. It will be decided by parents and pastors. It will be decided by the people who believe their faith deserves to shape the world their children inherit.

The world without sin, sorrow, or death was about to end.
Written by Tony Arsenal | Friday, November 28, 2025
Genesis 3 is the tragic explanation for the world as we know it. It teaches us that sin is not a minor flaw but a catastrophic, freely chosen rebellion that has corrupted every aspect of our being and our world. It has alienated us from God, from each other, from ourselves, and from creation itself.

Many Christians elevate matters of personal conviction to doctrinal positions that should be universally confessed.
Written by J.V. Fesko | Friday, November 28, 2025
Look for a church that bears the three marks: the right preaching of the gospel, the right administration of the sacraments, and the proper administration of church discipline. From there, look for a church where people with all sorts of different personal convictions rally, not around their personal opinions, but around Jesus and his gospel.

We do not stand between these women as free men making a rational choice. We are already trapped in one of their houses.
Written by Kendall Lankford | Friday, November 28, 2025
We are not seekers—we are fugitives. We are not confused—we are rebellious. We do not fail to follow Lady Wisdom because the path is unclear; we fail because our hearts are broken in the exact shape of Folly’s doorway.

Because Christ exhausted His Father’s wrath for sin and lived the perfect life for the sinner, God is freed to welcome, as friends, those who were once His enemies.
Written by Patrick Slyman | Wednesday, November 26, 2025
What once declared distance now proclaims welcome. What sin had severed, Christ has restored. And instead of a flaming sword, there now hangs a torn veil—the perfect picture of Christ’s reconciling work. Sin atoned for, wrath satisfied, and fellowship restored. Forever.

God Himself summons His people into His presence for worship in spirit and in truth.
Written by Brian Cosby | Wednesday, November 26, 2025
Far from being a mere formality, the call to worship is an essential act of grace. It is the moment when the Lord of heaven and earth says to His redeemed people: “Come, draw near, and worship Me.” And by His Spirit and through His Son, we answer with obedience and joy.

The thread of promise and fulfilment which ties together the Old and New Testaments.
Written by Timothy Cross | Wednesday, November 26, 2025
The Lord Jesus Christ is the key to unlock the whole Bible. The Old Testament foretold and prophesied His coming. The New Testament tells how He came in fulfilment of God’s promises.

The re-genesis of the new creation.
Written by William Conley | Tuesday, November 25, 2025
In Luke 22:20, Christ identifies the cup as the New Covenant. The wine—as blood—symbolizes life, and together they declare the New Covenant of life. In re-Genesis language, this cup represents the Tree of Life. To live forever, we must drink from this cup—we must partake of this tree. In re-Genesis there is always a separation: to recreate, the Son had to have His life separated from Him on a tree—the cross. The emblem of shame, the chaos and void of the cross, becomes our Tree of Life.

It comes down to head, heart and hands.
Written by Paul Ritchie | Tuesday, November 25, 2025
It will at times feel hard and costly to give. But we can give knowing that joyful giving pleases our heavenly Father; trusting that he will use our time, money and hospitality to bring help to people he has caused us to love; and knowing that God can use all this to show the world His glory though the beauty of His church. Giving enlarges our faith.

Sin is not a flat landscape; it rises in degrees of guilt and consequence.
Written by David Weber | Tuesday, November 25, 2025
As Jesus stands before Pilate, He declares, “He who delivered Me over to you has the greater sin.” Pilate is guilty, yet Jesus distinguishes degrees of culpability. Pilate sins through cowardice and expedience; the Jewish leaders and Judas sin through betrayal and unbelief. They commit the greater sin because they acted against greater light.
