    Departing from God does not necessarily mean a physical departing in which a person goes fully back into the world from which he was redeemed – while this is true of some for many others it is a spiritual departing.

    Many Christians depart from God; Why? What’s God’s remedy? Jo 6:66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him (with Jesus) no more. What are some of the direct causes for Christians to no longer actively walk with God? Love of a sin more than of ...read more

    Believers are to engage an idol-filled modern culture with the same wisdom, compassion, and courageous clarity Paul displayed in Athens—understanding people’s longings, building bridges to the truth, and faithfully proclaiming the risen Christ!

    How do we, as Christ’s ambassadors, engage a modern culture with wisdom, courage, and gentleness—so that the gospel is not just another opinion in the noise, but a message carried on “beautiful feet” bringing good news? Everywhere we look, the signs of moral fracture are ...read more

    What is in view here is our salvation. God is revealing how He saves us. He is revealing how we are made right with Him. We call this justification. It is how we are made righteous before God.

All of us stand before God guilty as charged. And there is absolutely nothing that any of us can do about ...read more
