Behold Your Triune God: The Doctrine of the Trinity
There is one God in three persons, and the persons are distinguished by their relations of origin. The Father is unbegotten, the Son is eternally begotten, and the Spirit proceeds from the Father (and the Son)… this complexity should not drive us to throw up our hands and not even try to understand our God,...

Disordered Wantings
His hands may be clean while his heart is crowded with forbidden desires. That is because the commandment reaches behind our conduct and descends all the way into our appetites. It does not merely ask whether we have taken what God has forbidden; it asks whether we have begun to crave what God has not... Continue Reading
The Syrophoenician Woman
Many believers today carry prayers that remain unanswered. A loved one who has not yet come to Christ. A disability that persists. A relationship that needs healing. A burden that feels heavy. This woman’s story reminds us that faith often endures even when answers do not come right away. “Even the dogs under the... Continue Reading
Ten Reasons to Stop Talking
We instinctively think that conversations are all about us, as we try to create our ideal selves with our words. But the more we speak without thinking, the further that image moves away from reality, until the people dear to us don’t actually know our true selves. Indeed, we may even fail ourselves to recognise... Continue Reading
Invite God into Your Anxieties
“Please, tell me,” God says. “What is truly on your heart? What fears and anxieties run deep in you?” You might be reluctant to respond at first. Anxiety tends to turn inward, so you are not accustomed to just speaking about them to God. If you pray, you might only ask that they be taken... Continue Reading
God’s Will: Our Strength
Paul encourages Timothy to proclaim this gospel that brings others into newness of life. And that should be our goal as well: to proclaim the good news of Christ Jesus as the only way to receive new life. For the gospel is the power of God for salvation (Rom 1:16). The gospel transforms lives, giving... Continue Reading
Hard Cases No. 2: No Time to Talk
Churches need to have care and consideration for physical things like buildings, process things like financial controls, and personal things like staffing and administration. You can’t neglect these things and still seek to be faithful. In fact, some elders boards get intro trouble because they don’t care at all about balance sheets, building issues, and...

Toxic Idolatry
We have found new ways to provoke the Lord to jealousy, countless ways. Pick any of the Ten Commandments and someone has made it virtually their hobby to break it—and that’s normal! 1 Corinthians 10:14–22 (ESV) Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. The... Continue Reading
Fame, Fame, Fame
Our tendency is to believe that the aura which fame bestows on a person makes them virtuous in every regard. A famous athlete, renowned for their skill and self-discipline, becomes in our minds an expert in the art of life. Even when we explicitly tell ourselves that this is silly, we still seem to believe... Continue Reading

The Cities Behind the Letters You’ve Read All Your Life
Saturday Spotlight: You have read Philippians, Ephesians, and more for years. Twelve days on Paul’s route, October 2027, and you come home having stood where they were received. With Dr. David Garner.
Is Scripture the Ultimate Authority?
Whether the Bible clearly affirms Apostolic succession is open to dispute, and controversy continues as to exactly what Jesus meant at Caesarea Philippi when He said that He would build His church on the rock. We do know that there was a delegation process. Christ is the delegated Apostle par excellence, as was shown when... Continue Reading
Random Trials
You may think that your trial is some kind of record-setting ultimate test, but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. Take heart; the universe is not... Continue Reading
Helping Mom with the Dishes
Working hard at your job, becoming skilled at your craft, and being diligent in your duties changes the world. Worshiping, studying, and praying change the world. Showing hospitality changes the world. Forgiving one another and pursuing reconciliation make the world a better place. Helping Mom with the dishes is the kind of cleanup operation we...

Bits of Wisdom from Houses of Mourning
These truths arrested my attention in full when I read the words of a decoration in one of the houses mentioned above: “Good morning. This is God. I will be handling all your problems today.” How God sometimes handles the problems of sin is terrible to consider. The lifeless sinners come to know a horrific... Continue Reading
My Father Can Do It: Praying Like an Autistic Child
The greater my dependence grows on my heavenly Father, the more I find my prayers becoming like my children’s requests: simple, persistent, and believing. Rather than setting out long times for prayer, my prayers become continuous throughout the day. Vacillating between adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and requests, it just flows out and becomes the air that... Continue Reading
We Do Know God’s Will for Our Lives
If a decision had to be made between a choice that was sinful and a choice that was not sinful, the people were to choose the not sinful choice. Should I start worshipping Molech? No, that’s idolatry—that’s clearly not God’s will for me to do. When it came to a decision between two non-sinful choices... Continue Reading
You Need to Talk to Someone
In the midst of a loneliness epidemic and a national mental health crisis, we need healthy mediating institutions. I don’t mean massive bureaucracies, but churches that function properly and safely as the body of Christ. Mental health centers that practice with an aim toward the whole person, including the soul. But I especially see the... Continue Reading
On Being “Mentally Tough” Christians
As we strive for holiness in a godless world—and to be “mentally tough”, empower by the Holy Spirit—we must remember our convictions. Christians of conviction are desperately needed today. Compromise is happening all around us. This is because society is bombarding us at every corner and pressuring professing Christians to cave, to comprise, to throw... Continue Reading
