Is Christian Faith Passive?
Before we begin exploring the nuts and bolts of genuine life-change, let’s dig a little deeper into the root of the problems that prevent it. Why do so many Christians experience so little change? Perhaps it comes from living in a traditionally semi-Christian culture in which people go to church, sit still for an hour […]

God’s Wisdom and Ours
When the old Reformed theologians dealt with the attributes of God, they used to classify them in two groups: incommunicable and communicable. In the first group, they put those qualities which highlight God’s transcendence and show how vastly different a being he is from us, his creatures. The usual list was—God’s independence (self-existence and self-sufficiency); […]

Where did the Bible come from?
The origin of the Bible is another reason why I believe the Bible is God’s Word. The Bible’s unity, structure, and subject matter argue for a supernatural authorship. Have you ever imagined how all of this could possibly come together? It would have to be miraculous. It had to be the strangest publishing project of […]

New Bible Study: The Power to Change
There are few things in life more frustrating than knowing you need to change, wanting to change, and trying to change, but not actually changing. How do I know? Because I have tried so hard so many times to change, only to hit the same brick wall of failure time and time again. Before I […]

“I never made a sacrifice”
It is clear from what we saw about money that the battle cry of Christian Hedonism is world missions—sacrificing the comforts and securities of home for the unreached peoples of the world. Paradoxically, here where the sacrifices are greatest, the joys are deepest. And the pursuit of these joys is the driving engine of world […]

What did Isaiah mean, “Woe is me”?
In God’s presence, not only did Isaiah see that his goodness was not that good, he saw that his strengths were not that strong. Isaiah specifically bemoans the filthiness of his lips. A prophet’s “lips” were his trade. He would have felt about his mouth the way a pianist feels about her fingers, or the […]

Why are Christians not different?
The world is full of promises of change. Advertisers hawk products and services that are said to be able to renew your youth, change your appearance, create a new lifestyle, fix your body, improve your mood, make your life easier, and enhance your relationships. They all promise some form of change that will make your […]

The Spiritual Discipline of Journaling
More than almost any other Discipline, journaling has a fascinating appeal with nearly all who hear about it. One reason is the way journaling blends biblical doctrine and daily living, like the confluence of two great rivers, into one. And since each believer’s journey down life’s river involves bends and hazards previously unexplored by them […]

Does God want to know me personally?
I believe in the Bible because of revelation. The Bible claims to infallibly reveal the very words and mind of God. Now, step back for just a second to ponder this incredible claim. I am an early riser and enjoy the wee hours of the morning before the sun comes up. I purposefully turn off […]

I need more than instructions on how to be righteous. I need a heart change.
Lest you think that this is merely the cranky, judgmental Old Testament God—God in his middle school years—who morphs into a much nicer and more flexible deity in the New Testament—Jesus, the meek and mild—consider what happened to the New Testament couple Ananias and Sapphira when they lied one Sunday about a church offering. They […]
