We have just released a new Bible Study based on Erwin Lutzer’s book, God’s Devil. Here is an excerpt: It has been said that those who are “born again” take the devil seriously.2 We who believe in the trustworthiness of the Bible are not guilty of disbelieving in his objective existence. We, above all, should […]

Count it all joy
The theme of this letter is joy. The word rejoice is found nine times, the word joy four times, and the expression “rejoice with” two times. Even though he was writing as a prisoner, Paul was filled with joy, and that joy permeates his letter. The secret of his joy was his relationship with Jesus […]

Help in the battle for holiness
In chapter 5 we saw how God has delivered us from the realm and reign of sin through union with Christ in His death. We were slaves to sin and in slavery we committed sins. We developed sinful habits regardless of how “good” we were. But Jesus Christ came into this sinful world and took […]

EMBRACING CHANGE FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOSPEL
ONE OF MY FAVORITES BUMPER STICKERS is “Change is good. You go first.” Those six words capture how most people feel about change—it’s fine for the other guy! An evangelistic Christian, in contrast to set-in-their-ways believers, is open to change, to being the “other guy.” Sharing the gospel effectively requires adjusting your lifestyle continually, being […]

No More Grumpy Christians
Grumpy people are hard to get along with. Don’t be grumpy. The wisest man who ever lived said, “Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.” Proverbs 21:19 (NIV) In another place, “A nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet.” Proverbs 27:15 (MSG) The first […]

The Battle for Holiness
Through our union with Christ in His death we are delivered from the dominion of sin. But we still find sin struggling to gain mastery over us, as Paul depicted so vividly: “When I want to do good, evil is right there with me” (Romans 7:21). We may not like the fact that we have […]

Think great thoughts
One Saturday night our house was assaulted by an odor so indescribably noxious we had to evacuate. We figured it was a gas leak and called both the gas company and the fire department. As it turned out, a skunk had gotten very close to our house. I made a few phone calls, but no […]

Impossible with man; possible with God
“And He said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”—Luke 18:27. Christ had said to the rich young ruler, “Sell all that thou hast … and come, follow me.” The young man went away sorrowful. Christ then turned to the disciples, and said: “How hardly shall they that have riches enter […]

There is more to holiness than trying hard to be good
Many Christians have a basic desire to live a holy life, but have come to believe they simply cannot do it. They have struggled for years with particular sins or deficiencies of character. While not living in gross sin, they have more or less given up ever attaining a life of holiness and have settled […]
