Holiness in an unholy world
All believers must live their Christian lives in the context of an unholy world. Some face extraordinary temptation as they live in the midst of a flagrantly sinful atmosphere. The student in the university dormitory or the man or woman on a military base or aboard ship must often live in an environment polluted with […]

Don’t Take False Blame
The third mistake Elijah made is that he blamed himself for negative events that were not his fault. Elijah said, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword” (1 Kings 19:10). He said, in […]

Don’t be deceived about Christ’s return
In the early verses of the Olivet Discourse, in Matthew 24, “Jesus answered and said to them: ‘Take heed that no one deceives you’ ” (verse 4). As we look to the future, this word from our Lord ought to be etched in our own hearts. As the day of His return approaches, we are very […]

Holiness and faith
In the pursuit of holiness Christians are often called on to perform duties that appear unreasonable and even absurd to an unbelieving world. A Christian farmer in Kansas is a case in point. When wheat is exactly ready to be harvested, it is important that the work be completed quickly lest bad weather arise and […]

GOD USES SATAN TO JUDGE THE UNCONVERTED
We have just released a new Bible Study based on Ermin Lutzer’s book, God’s Devil. Here is an excerpt: GOD USES SATAN TO JUDGE THE UNCONVERTED Now that we know that Satan is limited by God’s power, we might think that God would confine his role to relatively few battles on earth: an occasional burst […]

WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT HIS SECOND COMING
Jesus Referred to the Future Often First, Christ referred to the future often as He ministered to His disciples and to others. For example, in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24:25), Jesus said, “See, I have told you beforehand.” He is letting His followers know ahead of time some things that will help them face the […]

Jesus’s logo
Everyone is looking for just the right logo. Companies spend millions of dollars to find a little icon that will communicate what they offer in a memorable and compelling way. Nike’s logo is a little checkmark-looking symbol we call a swoosh. It is actually a stylized version of the wing from the Greek statute “Winged […]

New Bible Study: The Second Coming of Christ
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran pastor in Germany during the rise of the Nazi party under Adolf Hitler. He was very active in the resistance movement against Nazism and was eventually arrested and hanged in 1943 for his efforts, just before the end of World War II. A group of Christians involved in the resistance […]

Habits of holiness
The more we sin, the more we are inclined to sin. John Owen expressed it this way, in his quaint seventeenth-century style: “Repeated acts of the consent of the will unto sin may beget a disposition and inclineableness of the will unto a proneness and readiness to consent unto sin upon easy solicitation.” Every sin […]

Becoming a joyful Christian
Some of you may be old enough to remember singing—perhaps in Sunday school or at summer camp—that old song that starts out like this: “I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart.” “Where?” “Down in my heart!” “Where?” “Down in my heart!” Do you know why we rarely sing that in church? […]
