As Good Friday approaches, please consider examining the claims Jesus made about Himself. Friends, if His resurrection didn’t happen, Christianity isn’t a viable worldview…it would be futile and misleading. Christianity’s existence hinges entirely on Jesus’s resurrection (1 Corinthians 15). “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died…

Per the ESV Study Bible: Written by Luke around A.D. 62 (30 years after Jesus’s Resurrection), an Antiochian physician (Col 4:14) and traveling companion of Paul, the third Gospel was intended for both “Jews and Gentiles alike.” In the twenty-fourth chapter we are told that Jesus’s body was not found in the tomb. This is…

Per GotQuestions: “Christ’s ‘emptying’ of Himself was the laying aside of the privileges of divinity, not divinity itself. In heaven, the Son of God possessed infinite honor and glory and adoration. But He chose to leave that position of honor, and He ‘made himself nothing’ (Philippians 2:7). When He came to earth, He veiled His…

To preface, friends, please always check what I say and write by Scripture…It’s so important that we test what is taught by anyone alongside the straightedge of God’s Word. Prior to “being made alive together with Christ” (Eph 2:5), we were spiritually dead (separated from God)…disobedient to God, carrying out the desires of our fallenness.…

“If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed. If you look at God you’ll be at rest.” – Corrie Ten Boom While the world beckons us to look within, saying “You’ve got this!” Corrie knew that by looking within for strength and guidance was a bewildering journey.…

Author: Meridith Black March 7, 2023 “The Christian worldview isn’t limited only to Sunday morning, but instead encompasses all of life. As Francis Schaeffer said, ‘Christianity is not a series of truths in the plural, but rather truth spelled with a capital…

“Jesus himself did not make a distinction between his authority and the authority of the written Scriptures. He acted upon the unity of his authority in the content of the Scriptures.” Francis Schaeffer’s Escape from Reason 📕 *Jesus quoted the Old Testament often, proclaiming it to be the Word of God. *Jesus both taught the…

Friends, a great deal of what Paul had written to churches (New Testament letters) was pertaining to false teachers. He was alerting these believers because he loved God, and wanted these fledgling churches to know the truth. And while this topic is certainly not uplifting, it is both kind and necessary to discuss. 💡Hypothetical: If…

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life 14 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;[a] believe also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?[b] 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will…

A quote which has impacted me immensely is this one by late preacher, Charles Spurgeon: “Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.” So very often we make the mistake of interpreting rightness and wrongness solely through the lens of emotion. If something…

“Then Laban and Bethuel replied, ‘This is the Lord’s doing. Our wishes are of no concern.’” Genesis 24:50 When Abraham was advanced in years, after Sarah had died and was buried in Hebron, he sent a trusted worker to Abraham’s homeland to find a wife for Isaac. Genesis 24 documents how the faithfulness of God…

“Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.” James 1:17 Friend, there is so much God has given us. The air we breathe, the food we eat, the people we meet,…
