Escaping the Anxiety Trap
Just as a high fever is a symptom of physical disease, anxiety is a symptom of spiritual disease. This eminently practical series will help both Christians and non-Christians understand the roots of their anxiety and point them to the cure....
Don't Be Surprised
A pastor can’t say everything that needs to be said in a single message, let alone a social media post....
Trusting God in Trying Times
The Bible tells us to expect difficult trials as part of the Christian life. You know that you should trust God when hard times come, but exactly how do you trust God when life seems to fall apart at the seams? This life-changing study from the book of Habakkuk will teach you how to move from trials to spiritual triumph...
Wash Your Hands
We have heard so much about maintaining physical health during these times. Fair enough--I'll wash my hands and maintain social distancing....
I'm Not a Doctor
I don’t feel the need to preach an entire message about this, but I do feel a responsibility to say a few words about the general Christian response to the public health crisis we are facing....
Can You Have Assurance of Eternal Life?

We’re finishing a series on discernment. Today we come to the question, “How should I respond to the cultists who knock on my door?” My counsel is to refuse them entry into your home. Here’s why....

Keep ReadingOur Need for Discernment
Discernment is important because not everyone who claims to speak for God actually does. Jesus said they were wolves in sheep’s clothing. They appear harmless, but actually threaten your soul......

Sure thing. First, an inerrant analysis; then a personal promise. 1. The inerrant analysis (and it isn't pretty): 24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed f...
Keep ReadingComing to Grips with Discernment
We live in the midst of competing claims to spiritual authority. New philosophies of ministries, charismatic phenomena, and institutions like the Mormons and Catholic Church confuse people with conflicting voices......
Keep ReadingA Spiritual Booster Shot
It’s the mark of a true Christian to desire consistent growth in their walk with Christ. Experience teaches us, though, that it’s easy to get off track and discouraged. Before long we realize that anxiety and hypocrisy mark our lives rather than the fruit of the Spirit....
Keep ReadingSoli Deo Gloria: The Erosion of God-Centered Worship
The loss of God’s centrality in the life of today’s church is lamentable. This loss allows us to transform worship into entertainment, gospel preaching into marketing, believing into technique, being good into feeling good about ourselves, and faithfulness into being successful....
Keep ReadingSola Fide: The Erosion of the Chief Article

Fallen human nature has always recoiled from recognizing its need for Christ’s imputed righteousness......
