...Did Job receive an answer to his prayers of “Why me?” No. God never explained Himself to Job, but what He did give Job was a deeper and more intimate relationship with Himself.

Why are so many Christians hesitant to say that Christianity is true—and that competing religions are false?

...Sons should hear and heed the instruction of fathers. They should not forget the instruction of mothers. At our earliest age, their words should ring in our ears. They want what is best for us.

Every generation of believers faces the same temptation Israel confronted in the days of Haggai: to begin with passion for God’s purposes and slowly drift into lives centered on personal comfort.

In Ephesians 2:1-3, Paul describes our wretched state apart from the grace of God...But verse four opens with two words that spell the difference between between sin and salvation...“But God..."

...To say “love is love” is to say nothing of any substance... In order for love to be significant, one must be able to understand and define what love actually is—and the Gospel of John does just that.

...This type of love, a love that originates entirely in God and not in our own loveliness, is at the heart of biblical “unconditional love,” or agape love. God’s perfect love flows from Him and is entirely of Him...

...While Christians have historically opposed gambling, the top three betting countries in Africa are predominantly Christian. With the rise of the prosperity gospel, many Christians even pray over bets...

...Reflecting on the past 100 years, most of the Gentile Church has been asleep...Most
faithful followers of Christ seem oblivious that the hour is growing prophetically late.

The constancy and loyalty of God’s lovingkindness is displayed in its ability to persevere through all sorts of obstacles and trials. The ultimate expression of this loyal love is seen in Romans 8:

...During my husband’s week-long hospital stay, I repeatedly thought, “This isn’t how it was meant to be.” Our hearts felt drawn to despair..but thankfully, his promises were in our hearts.

Unless we know who God is, we cannot truly know who we are. Is it surprising that when people do not retain God in their thinking that they also cannot define humanity?

...What are spiritual gifts, and what is their purpose? The obvious starting point is Scripture. When we talk about spiritual gifts, we need to confine ourselves to what the Bible actually says about them.

...Christians may think that to be obedient to God we need to first determine God’s plan for our future. But we don’t see that modeled in the Bible. There are limits to what he has revealed to us about his will.

...We fail God daily...Yet, when we redirect our focus to pleasing our Lord, freedom arrives.

If you are a new follower of Christ or have been one for many years, establishing a daily habit of reading the Bible is great medicine for the soul and the means of living effectively in daily life.

...Some verses tell us to look for various signs...while other verses tell us the Parousia will come as a complete surprise. These sets of passages may seem to conflict, but they are nonetheless both true.
