Appreciating God’s Word

I have been reading Nate Gordon’s book, Airborne at the End of the Earth. It’s a great book filled with stories about Nate’s experience as a pilot working to reach people groups scattered throughout Papua. The stories are moving. Nate writes about experiencing the response of these people groups to receiving God’s word printed in […]

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. In the time of the prophet Jeremiah, false prophets were giving what they claimed was a word from the Lord. Through Jeremiah, God calls Israel to […]

Crossroads of Instruction

There are times in our life when God places us with someone for a specific reason to share our knowledge of Jesus. In Acts 8:26-40, Phillip is instructed by the Lord to, “Get up and go south to the road that descends from Jerusalem to Gaza (verse 26, NASB).” On the road he encounters “an […]

Delegating God’s Statutes and Law

It is one thing to read scripture, to hear God’s command, but a far different thing to live it out. This is what Moses discovered as he led the Israelites out of Egypt. In Exodus 18, Moses’ father-in-law Jethro observes Moses spending the day judging disputes among the Israelites. When Jethro asks why Moses alone […]

Finders Seekers

I have often felt that those who push back the hardest on the truth in the Bible are the ones who feel the most convicted by it. John 3:20 tells us, “For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed (NASB).” […]

Finding the Right Words

I have had many conversations over the years with people who want to debate the validity of the Bible. In the course of hearing them argue about flaws in scripture, it becomes evident they have no desire to understand the Word of God and what it offers. They do not have a heart that wants […]

Friday Faith — Our Purpose

Have you found out everything that was written concerning you? This Book was written as much about you as about Jesus Christ. You must find out what it says about you.
