Lots of people ask the question: "What is God's will for my life?" or "What does God want me to do with my life?" To be sure, there are many important ways to think about and seek answers to these kinds of questions which reach far beyond what I will mention now. But here is a very simple answer taken directly from the pages of Holy Scripture that is often undervalued and overlooked.
Read More“For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ,” (II Corinthians 4:6).
Read MoreIt is a well known truth that we are significantly shaped by the companions we keep—either for good or for harm. We may like to think of ourselves as influencers, but we are also people who can be easily influenced.
Read More“Be of good courage, and let us be courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God, and may the LORD do what seems good to him,” (II Samuel 10:12).
Read MoreTherefore, flinch not, my soul, from the holy service to which you have been called! Flee not from the field of battle! Do not desert your post due to the impotence of your own power.

Read More“And God’s answer was not to tell Moses how strong or wise or capable Moses is, but rather to turn Moses’ eyes back upon the LORD his God. God’s answer to our crippling insecurities is always himself.”
Read MoreNot one of us is insusceptible to this pull. Nor can anyone claim they have never put the things of this world above and before the Lord Jesus Christ. There are many reasons that we fall prey to the siren call of the world, but I want to draw your attention to two in particular.
Read More“If the God of the Bible truly is who he has revealed himself to be—(and I believe he is!)—then, for that God to make the kinds of perfect and infallible judgments that we would expect of him, requires that this God must devote himself to his own glory.”

Read MoreA proper understanding of Jesus Christ’s nature as our Redeemer is critical for God’s people. For this reason, these truths have been ardently defended against prevalent errors throughout the ages. In 451 A.D., after centuries of debates, a creedal statement was written in order to faithfully express a proper view of these complex realities. The Symbol of Chalcedon remains a pillar and buttress of truth by which our God has greatly blessed his people. We commend it to you for reflection.

Read MoreCommunion is a gift of God’s grace for weary pilgrims on the hard and narrow heavenly road, (Matt. 7:13-14).
