Lament is how we bring our sorrow to God - but it is a neglected dimension of the Christian life for many Christians today. We need to recover the practice of honest spiritual struggle that gives us permission to vocalize our pain and wrestle with our sorrow. Lament avoids trite answers and quick solutions, progressively moving us toward deeper worship and trust.

The word that perhaps best characterizes the Puritans and Covenanters is faithfulness. Whether Edward Dering preaching boldly before a fuming Queen Elizabeth, Sandy Peden evading the king's men on horse, or Hugh Mackail undergoing the torture of "the Boot" and then execution for his faith, the Puritans' and Covenanters' courage and conviction shines as bright as ever today.

Over my years as a disciple and studying scriptures, I’ve hit on several mini-revelations. On the surface, many of my assertions may seem unbelievable and cause you to pause and ask “Wait, is that true?” While incredible or even outrageous, a closer study shows them all to be true. Will you agree?

One of the most basic freedoms God has given us is the freedom of choice. This reflects His own character, for He is a God of choice and commitment. The decisions we make, however, can have a dramatic impact on the shape and texture of our lives. The course we take can radically alter our experiences and destiny.Because the decisions we make are so important, the Lord has spared no effort to help us in our choices. He has given us His Word and His Holy Spirit to be our guide. He oversees our decisions and will graciously forgive us when we fall short of His purpose.The God who gave us this ...

Romans 8:31-39 is a reminder of what the Lord Jesus has done. It is a picture of the grace of God providing all we need for salvation and a right relationship with God. It is about a God whgo has invested much in the lives of His children and who will do all He can to keep them. It portrays salvation from God's perspective. Paul's focus in these verses is not about our commitment to God but rather about His commitment to us. In this brief study of Romans 8:31-39 you will see something of the commitment of God to you and to keeping you in the salvation His Son gave His life to accomplish.

In Paul's fourth letter to the Corinthian church, which was actually the book of Second Corinthians, Paul started the letter by telling the Corinthian Christians that he had not visited them after his third letter because he did not want to strain their already strained relationship. As will be discussed in that opening chapter, he had had a difficult second visit to the church during the early days of his third Bible-recorded missionary trip. He had then followed that up with a probable stern third letter to them. So because of that, he had not visited them after his third letter because ...

In a day when almost anything seems possible through technology and human wisdom, we need to be reminded again why we need the Holy Spirit and his enabling power. In a day of mass communication, we need to learn how to distinguish the voice of God from all other voices calling for our attention. Learning to walk as God requires is a lifetime effort. Scripture, however, does speak powerfully of our need of a strength greater than our own to live the life God requires. Could it be that one of the greatest tragedies of the Christian life is that we have never learned the importance of the Holy...

Many books have been written on the subject of Christian worship. This is not a replacement for these excellent works. It is rather a survey of the teaching of the Bible on this important topic. We will work our way through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, examining passages written in different times and occasions. While the experience of worship varied in these periods, many of the principles we learn from these passages still apply today.

Life is about the journey as well as the destination. It is about the race as well as the finishing line. God has plans for our time here on earth. Not just plans for us when we die.

It provides a safe way for those who have fallen to be restored and encourages the average believer to take seriously the matter of helping his or her brother or sister in a time of weakness.

Simon of Cyrene is an obscure Bible character who had a tremendous role to play at the time of the crucifixion of Jesus.
