What does it mean to be in the Lord’s army?
If there is going to be a war, men must be ready to fight. This is the lesson of the first battle of Manassas (or Bull Run), the first major engagement of the American Civil War. There had been talk of war for months, ever since South Carolina fired on Fort Sumter in early April […]

Learning Contentment
Paul’s young disciple Timothy had his hands full in Ephesus. The apostle had left Timothy in that city to oversee the organization of the church. Timothy was to provide consistent teaching, help the church choose leaders, and model personal integrity as a leader. Paul’s first letter to Timothy contains both direction and encouragement for Timothy. […]

The remedy to our deepest wound
In the Garden of Eden, this was what the serpent called into question—the goodness of God (Gen. 3:4–6). And that question remains today underneath every temptation we face: Do you believe the Lord intends good for you? If only we could see how much God desires our good, then we would never choose against God’s […]

Growing In Christ
Our house is a lot of fun these days. Audrey is ten, Reid is seven, and little Norah is four. It’s busy and can be a bit chaotic, but our home, by God’s grace, is mostly filled with laughter (and occasionally the tears that follow discipline). Like most parents with children my kids’ age, I […]

House Churches AND
All around the world the gospel is spreading and, in many cases, spreading rapidly. The are doing it—pretty much without exception as best I can tell—through House Churches. (See https://www.joshhunt.com/2019/02/23/h... ) Perhaps we should experiment with House Churches. Let me clarify what I mean. I don’t mean that we should close down the churches we […]

God’s love will never let you go
Something in a man needs a mountain to climb, a challenge to meet. And what challenge is greater than the ultimate peak, the highest of mountains—Mount Everest? More than three thousand climbers have made it to the top. But, several thousand have failed, and more than 220 have died in the attempt. One place where […]

How to confuse an angel
Hearing nothing from his Father, Jesus stumbled back to his disciples and asked them to stay awake with him (14:37). This is Jesus—the one who commanded the wind and the waves—so weak that he’s looking for someone, anyone, to lean on. He felt alone. Abandoned. More than that, he felt rejected by his Father. One […]

Hidden with Christ
When I was in junior high school, I played football on an organized team for the first time. And my size gave our team a distinct advantage. I was the smallest player on the field. I was so small, in fact, that when I had the ball, the opposing team had a difficult time tackling […]

God loves you even when he is correcting you
The train chugged its way through Indiana at twenty-four miles per hour. That doesn’t seem like a frightful speed. That is, until you take into account how long it takes to stop a 6,200-ton train… and what lay upon the tracks ahead. “That’s a baby!” yelled Robert Mohr, the attentive conductor. The engineer, Rodney Lindley, […]
