If John the Baptist only baptized those who were capable of confessing their sins, and if the disciples of our Lord followed the same practice with His approval, why should it be so difficult to believe that the apostolic Christ did not practice infant baptism?

Over the last few months I have been working through a 6-part series helping Christian students think through how to prepare for life at a big university. This topic is particularly relevant, I hope, given the number of high school seniors who are in t…
Of the five points of Calvinism commonly known as TULIP, the most controversial is on Limited Atonement. For many it is simply a misunderstand of the term or the word “limited” seems to be a stumbling block. Recently, two videos were released that addr…
Andy Stanley continues to teach in his church that we believe in the Resurrection not because of what the Bible says. It is because of the ancient documents written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Stanley would go on to say that history tells us ther…
It can be an inglorious task to say anything about the current generation. Some concepts that would have been considered “conventional wisdom” a few years ago and wouldn’t require a lot of explanation are now under scrutiny and being reframed in an impressive and frightening exercise of deconstructing ideas that we see today. I want […]

Losing a loved one can be a difficult time no matter the circumstances of their passing. Whether it is a grandparent, parent, spouse, friend, or child, there is a time for mourning over them. Over time, some people will express that their loved ones ar…
Since the Spirit of God is the Spirit of truth, his operations in sanctification in the new covenant are more powerful and thorough than before the coming of Christ, for the shadows and types now are fulfilled and made clear by His appearing.

A false narrative is a conclusion in search of an argument. It is an agenda in need of patrons, a goal that, in the mind of the narrator, is worthy of being supported by lies because, you know, the end is so noble that it fully justifies the means.

Resurrection Sunday Devotional Main Text: Luke 24:1-7 There have been many wonderful moments in human history. Just within the past 200 years, we have seen: the invention of telephones, televisions, and computers; the development of x-rays, CT scans, and world-changing medications; transportation methods via aircrafts, automobiles, and subways. It is remarkable to consider how one event, […]
Saturday Devotional Main Text: Matthew 26:62-66 Think about the last time you made a mistake, and tried to keep it from being revealed. Perhaps you told a lie that got out of hand, or manipulated a situation to make yourself look better than others. In the final analysis, it has always been characteristic of sinners […]
Good Friday Devotional Main Text: Matthew 27:45-56 It would be an understatement to say that there are many problems facing mankind. Such are the consequences of living in a sin-cursed world (Genesis 3:17-19; Romans 8:19-22). Yet in God’s perfect timing, He has begun the process of making all things new through the work of Jesus […]
Thursday Devotional Main Text: Matthew 26:17-19 Human beings are visual creatures. Throughout the course of history, man has often used concrete resources to teach important subjects with greater effectiveness. Paintings, charts, diagrams, instruction manuals, and word pictures are a small sampling of how we continue to depend on visualization in our daily lives. Based on […]
“. . . and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God. For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, […]

Wednesday Devotional Main Text: Matthew 26:1-5 Think about the past week, month, and year. How often did the plans that you make come to pass exactly as you desired? If we are honest with ourselves, we rarely see plans unfold to the exact degree we had predicted in our minds. Sometimes this is simply due […]

Tuesday Devotional Main Text: Matthew 21:23-23:39 Everybody has an ultimate authority for what they believe and how they live. If pressed hard enough, people will eventually appeal to a supreme standard that governs their intellectual convictions and daily actions. When it comes to identifying the origins of one’s ultimate authority, there are really only two […]
Monday Devotional Main Text: Matthew 21:12-22 It has been well said that death focuses the mind. As one thinks about death, the human tendency is to be drawn to what is supremely cherished. Indeed, the prospect of death tends to reveal a person’s most foundational character traits. At the practical level, a historical survey of […]

Palm Sunday Devotional Main Text: Matthew 21:1-11 Think about a time you had to wait for an exciting event to occur. Did the weeks or months seem to endlessly drag on? Was there a special date circled on the calendar, or a countdown reminder on your phone? At some point in our lives, we have […]
