The matured goodness and wisdom of older saints should be humbly offered up as an example to others.
Written by Keith Seary | Tuesday, September 30, 2025
Paul says to the Thessalonian believers, “You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers” (1 Thess. 2:10). The one who called himself the foremost of sinners (1 Tim. 1:15) was not attempting to describe himself as perfect, but he did recognize an important tool for discipleship: being a role-model.

Review: ‘Satan Cast Out’ by Frederick Leahy.
Written by John Gilhooly | Tuesday, September 30, 2025
Leahy’s method is well worth considering anew. And we’d also do well to heed his reminder that “the worship of the Triune God through the risen Christ, and the proclamation of Christ’s victory, are always infinitely stronger than all demonic forces in their strongest combinations” (172). Satan Cast Out is a biblically sound survey of demonology that can equip pastors and church leaders to deal with the rising tide of spiritualism and the occult.

Our standing before God and our welcome into his family does not depend on our feelings but on what Christ has done for us.
Written by Al Gooderham | Tuesday, September 30, 2025
You and are are not done with sin as Christians. Yes we are no longer slaves to sin, yes sin is not our master and we do not have to listen to his siren songs. But this side of glory we will wage a war with sin. Sometimes we forget that and we feel like frauds, imposters. We forget that we are ‘in Christ’.

Modern gender theories promised to promote women but instead reduced them and now attempt to erase them.
Written by John Stonestreet and Timothy D. Padgett | Friday, September 26, 2025
In the end, all atheistic philosophies promise the perfectibility of humanity because they reject the good of our createdness….the only vision of reality big enough to describe reality is the Christian vision. The dignity of women rests in the glory that God gave them in creation, when He made them in His image.

And why we must return to Scripture.
Written by Tim Orr | Friday, September 26, 2025
The path ahead requires courage. It is far easier to drift with the cultural tide than to anchor again in the Word of God. But the church does not need more cultural critics; it needs shepherds who will feed the sheep with truth, not theory.

Our desire would always be to build one another up in the Lord.
Written by Joshua Banks | Friday, September 26, 2025
Encouragement builds others up, strengthens their hearts knowing that they are not forgotten or neglected, and that God is using them….our criticisms will, of course, have the opposite effect.

Are you struggling in your season of singleness? Here are four ways to live with purpose and joy as a single adult.
Written by Matthew Capone | Thursday, September 25, 2025
God prepared works for you before you were born. Your singleness is a part of that, not a hindrance. You can thank God for His providence in your life, set your eyes firmly on Jesus, and perform those works faithfully. This is a sure path to contentment and joy in every season.

…and they are sobering.
Written by Chris Larson | Thursday, September 25, 2025
As Dr. R.C. Sproul observed, many Christians live with what he called “happy inconsistencies;” they affirm certain biblical truths while unknowingly holding contradictory beliefs. Everyone is a theologian, R.C. said, but the question is whether they are a good one or a poor one. And poor theology—no matter how sincerely held—can lead to confusion, compromise, and even spiritual harm.

By granting faith, changing hearts, and empowering God’s mission, the Spirit leads believers to see what we can’t see apart from Him.
Written by Ben Cunningham | Thursday, September 25, 2025
After Jesus goes to the cross, dies, resurrects, and ascends, he gives his own Spirit to every believer. Then, Christ’s mission is unbound and advances exponentially. The world now sees Christ’s body wherever his church is found. Imbued with the gifts of heaven, the church puts Jesus’s manifold glory on display (Romans 12:3–8; 1 Corinthians 12:7–11; Ephesians 4:11–13). Where the church is, there the Spirit makes Christ visible, full of grace and truth.

This passage is not referring to physical birth or baptism.
Written by Ethan Jago | Wednesday, September 24, 2025
Contrary to what the Pharisees believed about a works-based righteousness, Jesus is stating that salvation isn’t about their religion, rituals, or efforts; it is about God cleansing the individual and giving that person a new heart through the regenerating power and work of the Holy Spirit.

Grace & Judgment Through a Single Word
Written by Michael Mock | Wednesday, September 24, 2025
The Judge pronounced with definitive authority to the snake: “You will bruise the woman’s Child, but He will bruise your head.” The snake-man ignored that “but,” an all-important word to be sure, but the snake had no interest in matters of eternal importance hanging on a single word.

In Christ, wasted lives are redeemed.
Written by Kevin Hay | Tuesday, September 23, 2025
The lesson is not that work doesn’t matter. Meals need to be made, jobs need to be done, and responsibilities must be carried out. The lesson is that eternal things must always take priority over urgent things. Sitting at the feet of Jesus will never feel urgent, but it is always essential. When we choose urgent over eternal, we are essentially saying that what shouts the loudest deserves our time. But when we prioritize the eternal, we are saying that Christ deserves our best attention all the time. True time management means learning to discern the difference.
