Love for Jesus calls us to put our bodies on the altar as a living sacrifice.
Written by Gary Yagel | Tuesday, July 15, 2025
The family is the most foundational institution on earth. God established it before the church or civil government. The family is the mechanism through which God planned for humanity to continue beyond Adam and Eve. Headed by one man and one woman united to one another by the covenant of marriage, the family is the environment designed by God for the nurture of children.

Though our sins maybe large, complicated, gross, and intricate, Christ blood is more powerful still.
Written by Peter Witkowski | Tuesday, July 15, 2025
Though the consequences of David’s sin remain, the Lord’s judgement does not. Nathan reports, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die (2 Sam 12:13b).” God’s forgiveness explains both why Christians should use rebuke and why those in sin should heed those rebukes.

You are free because you are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
Written by Paul Koch | Tuesday, July 15, 2025
The freedom that you have in Christ is lived out in love for one another. Love is the directive of your freedom. Love is how you stand firm against that ancient lure of slavery. You are baptized into Christ; you are then free from all the demands of the law.

Some churches are growing and the pastors reputation is booming. But sometimes the name of Jesus and His Church suffers as a result.
Written by Paul O'Brien | Monday, July 14, 2025
Many people preparing for the pastorate have preconceived notions of what it’s like to be a pastor. Many see pastors as the equivalent of local rock stars…Some want-to-be-pastors think pastors sit in their study, leave to speak to the masses, and after the applause return to their cloistered repose. Seminary often prepares pastors for the study and not the flock. The mega church, it would seem, often prepares pastors for social media, and not the flock.

Effectively get to the root of anger—and chart a biblical course for heart change.
Written by Daniel Szczesniak | Monday, July 14, 2025
‘Uprooting Anger’ is a title that should be in every counselor’s toolkit. It covers ground familiar to most biblical counselors, but let me be clear: Unlike many of the counseling books published today, which are solid but tend to repeat the same information derived from Adams and Powlison and Mack, Jones communicates the basics of biblical counseling in a fresh way.

If you are staking your soul on the idea that everything came from nothing, you need to wake up and snap out of your spiritual stupor.
Written by Dan Delzell | Monday, July 14, 2025
A callous heart prevents a person from experiencing the appropriate fear of paying the penalty for his sins in Hell. Many atheists laugh off the notion of an actual place called “Hell,” but their laughing is tragically misguided and uniformed.

Death and Devastation Across Kerr County, Texas
Written by Andy Jones | Thursday, July 10, 2025
“Kerrville is small enough where almost everyone in the church knows someone who was killed or remains missing. Everybody knows somebody whose life has been turned upside down by this….We know difficult days lie ahead. Please pray for our church as we seek to bring comfort and hope to a town desperately in need of it.”

Disability families need the hope of the gospel and a gospel-centered church that welcomes them.
Written by Sandra Peoples | Thursday, July 10, 2025
Some may think of disability ministry as a room where people with disabilities hang out while their family members are being discipled and included. But it is so much more. Paul even says our churches are incomplete without every member present, and that “the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable” (1 Corinthians 12:22).

A surprising number of Christians—including pastors and influential theologians—reject Scripture’s complete accuracy, reliability, and veracity.
Written by Jonathan Noyes and Greg Koukl | Thursday, July 10, 2025
Affirming the inerrancy of Scripture is not just a theological detail. It’s a declaration of trust in God’s character and God’s promises. Inerrancy assures us that what God said, he meant, and what he promised, he will fulfill. The unbreakable Word of God is our unshakable foundation. On this rock we will not be moved.

Expand Your Awe of God
Written by Kenneth Berding | Wednesday, July 9, 2025
In Hebrews 12, we find ourselves surrounded by a heavenly assembly where the faithful in Jesus belong. It’s more impressive than even Sinai. But whereas Sinai was unapproachable, verses 22-24 describe a place of celebration—awesome, yes—but also accessible.

We must recognize gossip for what it is: a form of spiritual cowardice.
Written by Kendall Lankford | Wednesday, July 9, 2025
Let the church be a place where names are safe. Where reputations are protected. Where speech is guarded. Where Matthew 18 is not optional, but instinctive. And let the ninth commandment no longer be seen as a footnote in the Decalogue, but as a flaming sword guarding the peace of the body of Christ.

Discernment is the Spirit-empowered skill of using God’s Word to distinguish between truth and error and right and wrong.
Written by Robb Brunansky | Wednesday, July 9, 2025
Discernment is based on an objective standard, the Word of God—not a subjective feeling or experience. It encompasses everything that can be classified as good or evil, including our beliefs regarding truth and error and our actions as being either righteous or unrighteous.
