What’s in a Name? (Part 1 of 3)

The name of God is more than just a title, it declares His character and proclaims who He is. The Bible makes it clear that God jealously guards His name and expects those who are His friends to do the same. The concept of God's name is foundational to the Bible and is a distinguishing feature of those who know and love God. [... more]

Who Knows?

The world may not know God, but Jesus knows Him, and those who have met Him through faith also know Him. The problem is not a lack of evidence, but unbelief and pride, which keep people from knowing God and experiencing salvation. [... more]

All One in Jesus

The unity Jesus prays for is not organizational, but organic, based on a common understanding of the gospel and the truth of God's word. It is supernatural in its origin, doctrinal in its substance, and evangelical in its focus, putting the good news of the gospel on display for the world to see. [... more]

The Evil One (Part 2 of 2)

The Bible describes Satan as a formidable enemy, but as believers, we ought not be preoccupied with his threat. Jesus' victory over the evil one is secure, and we are called to live a life of faith, resisting the evil one's strategies and living under the authority of God. The Bible reminds us that we are either living under the power of the evil one or in the power of God, and we have the choice to trust in Jesus and experience love, joy, security, and the promise of eternity.

“If the World Hates You…” (Part 2 of 2)

Jesus' high priestly prayer in John's Gospel reveals the world's hatred for biblical truth and Christian conviction, as seen in the disciples' reception of the word and their alignment with the Father.

“If the World Hates You…” (Part 1 of 2)

Jesus teaches that being a follower of him will inevitably lead to being hated by the world, but this is a reality that should not deter believers from living out their faith. The world's hatred is a result of its opposition to God's truth and its desire to be independent of Him. Believers must be prepared to suffer for their faith and to proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ, even in the face of hostility and rejection. [... more]

“I Am Praying for Them” (Part 1 of 2)

A disciple of Jesus belongs to God, keeps His name, and knows the truth, as seen in Jesus' high priestly prayer in John 17. Those who claim to be searching spiritually but don't want to know or be told what they know are not true disciples. The Bible is clear that believers must abide in the Word and encourage one another to do the same, and that the Lordship of Christ is often stumbled over by those who succumb to cultural influences rather than believing the clarity of the Word of Jesus.
