Elijah is discouraged, but not for the reasons most people offer. It is popular to portray Elijah intimidated by vicious Jezebel and running scared in a cowardly retreat, yet his desert journey is not a sign of weakness.

Elijah enjoyed a triumphant showdown at Mount Carmel. As we consider the aftermath, we’re apt to focus on what appears to be weakness in Elijah. This is largely due to how this passage has been translated and interpreted. The Elijah seems to be a different man in the turn of a page. Is ...read more

Christ's Sacrifice (Hebrews 10)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 26, 2024

Did He perfect the people who are being made holy with one offering for all time? Do we need patient endurance, so that we will ...read more
