I Can Fit You In Next Tuesday At 6 a.m., Jesus

As followers of Jesus Christ, how often do we make plans that include his will for our life? In 1 Corinthians 16:5-9, I am struck by how committed Paul is to following the Lord as he made his plans.

Mining Wisdom

We often confuse knowledge with wisdom. Acquiring knowledge isn’t bad, but it takes wisdom to know how to apply it. In Job chapter 28, Job has a discourse on the lengths people will go to acquire the treasures of the world: “Surely there is a mine for silver And a place where they refine gold. […]

Straw Man Words

God’s Word is full of wisdom and life, yet there are some who twist it for their own selfish gain or even claim certain non-Biblical texts are God’s truth.
