Studying 1 Peter 1: “Our Living Hope”
Inspired by God, Peter wrote this letter sometime between A.D. 60 and 65.

“Cast Your Burden”
“Morning and Evening Devotional” by Charles Spurgeon with Psalm 55 Morning – Day 147“Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee.” Care, even though exercised upon legitimate objects, if carried to excess, has in it the nature of sin.

The Lordship of Jesus
I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him [that is, Christ]: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a…

The Problem of Pragmatism
“Pragmatism, a philosophy developed by Charles Sanders Pierce in 1870, champions the premise that truth is proved by whether or not the idea in question works.

Inspired by God, scholars point to the Prophet Samuel as the possible writer. “Penned” between 1011 and 931 B.C., this historical account of Boaz’s and Ruth’s marriage points beautifully to the sovereignty of God and His Redemptive plan (the Gospel). The Old Testament is incredibly important! It’s in these historical pages that God points to…

Jesus’s Resurrection
Dr. Craig J. Hazen from Biola University points to Christianity as unique from other religions as it is not a “blind leap of faith,” nor dependent upon a subjective, emotional experience. God has provided a way for anyone to go on an historical investigation regarding the Truth claims of Christianity, and it all hinges upon…
