When I find myself in negative places, I strive to say of the Lord that He is my God in whom I trust, just as the writer of Psalm 91 did. But there is also a deeper meaning in the first two verses, hidden in plain sight.

The short answer is that God does not hate you. He loves you deeply. He hates what sin has done to you. God created a perfect world that sin corrupted and destroyed. The great news of the gospel is that we can be free of sin!

The point is that politics and political scheming in our nation's capital are nothing new, and there is little we can do about it other than vote when given opportunity. So if we can't control that, what can we control?

When our lives are filled with distraction, we veer off course and into danger. When we simply pretend the distractions aren’t there, or that we can handle them ourselves we quickly go dangerously off course. But when we drop those distractions at...

Strangely enough, the key to the self-fulfillment we all seek is the exact opposite of what we may think it is. Our natural instinct is to fill ourselves up with the things that we think will make us happy.

Here's the thing: music has always been an important element of human society and culture, and it has from the beginning been an essential component of Christian worship.

‘Nones’, or those who claim ‘no religion’, are now the largest religious demographic in the US. Think about that for a moment, those claiming no religious faith whatsoever now outnumber those who claim to belong to any other religious group,...

Like the Resurrection itself, walking on water is seemingly impossible, and so it becomes a flashpoint of faith – those who accept that it happened are strengthened by it, and others who reject it end up rejecting the Gospel as a whole. At the...

If you have ever been to a church service, you have noticed that these two things are always present: preaching of some sort and singing of some sort. It makes sense that someone would spend part of a service preaching the Gospel and explaining...

The Old Testament doesn’t merely ‘lay the groundwork’ for the new, but the person of Jesus is visibly present throughout the entire Old Testament account. The ‘story of Jesus’ doesn’t start in the New Testament; it starts in Genesis 1:1 and...

In such a climate, where is the love of Christ among brothers and sisters?  What does that kind of love look like in an increasingly angry and distrustful world? How do we show this love to those who openly mock and shun what we know to be...

When we give back to God, we are expressing our trust in him and in his provision. When we pray over our offerings to God, we are asking him to bless that which we give and use it for his purposes.

The thought of Satan vying for the hearts of an entire generation? That makes me shake.

There is no question that generous giving is a cornerstone of the Christian faith, and that there is great joy in giving.

What is it about the name of Jesus itself that is so special? What makes his name so unique, and what is it that makes his name stand out from all others? The name Jesus means, “God is Salvation.”

We must remember that it is up to us to not just share our faith, but to simply live it out in plain sight.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). This verse is arguably the most precise Gospel presentation in all of Scripture: it leads us to understand our sinful...

It’s an age-old question, and among the most difficult to answer. We have all thought about it, tried to explain it, and struggled with it. We all wonder exactly how God can be all-loving and still allow such immense pain. It doesn’t...

In Luke 6 we are not told what Jesus what teaching. The important part in this instance was not what he was saying, but what he was doing.

The word Amen is one of the most familiar and common words in the English language, yet at the same time it is a word that many of us don’t fully understand. Simple as it may seem, the word amen is actually brimming over with meaning and purpose.
