    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 30, 2021
     | 1,834 views

    I could never accept the curious suggestion by modern philosophers that the meaning of life breaks down to my own personal preference.

    “These are exciting times. When I finished the Epilogue to Darwin on Trial in 1993, I compared evolutionary naturalism to a great battleship afloat on the Ocean of Reality. The ship's sides are heavily armored with philosophical and legal barriers to criticism, and its decks are stacked with ...read more

    Legalism is potentially such a damaging, deceitful, and depressing way to view the Christian life.

    INTRO: I’ve tried to be very clear and practical at each point in this topic about what legalism is, what it does, and what it looks like. We spent the last message covering the statements a legalist might say, the specifics of legalism as far as the actual fundamental definitions of this way of ...read more

    Idolatry is not confined to the ancient past — it is humanity’s oldest and most persistent sin. Though the names and forms have changed, the same spirits remain.

    Brothers and sisters, idolatry is not a relic of the ancient world. It is the oldest sin in human history — and the most enduring. From Eden to Egypt, from Babylon to the boardroom, the human heart has always had a tendency to build altars to other gods. The names have changed, but the spirits ...read more

    If we will honour the Risen Saviour, we must ensure that we are focused on what is of importance to Him. Our purpose is not to make people like us, but to fulfil the mind of the Master.

    “Now, brothers, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is played? And if the bugle ...read more

    What Are Your Expectations Of The Messiah?

    If John the Baptist had to make sure Jesus was the Messiah it may well have been because there were several examples upon which the expected messiah could be modelled. What are our expectations of the Messiah?

    When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?" Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, ...read more
