Perhaps most importantly, Jesus is our Passover; it’s through his blood that we are saved. He is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. It’s important for us to remember what the Lord has done for us. We have an ongoing ritual that we observe to help us remember the Lord’s death—the LS. Read More ...
I think it’s important that we are assertive and confident in our proclamation that the Gospel is true. Jesus truly was crucified, buried, and resurrected. This is not merely religious language; it’s not mythology or legend. It’s not even a doubtful claim. We have very good reason to believe the true-fact nature of this historical event. Read More ...
The main message of Good Friday is that Christ died for the ungodly; that’s us. We are ungodly, weak, wandering sinners. Those are the people whom Jesus came to save. We celebrate the fact that Jesus saves people like us through his death. Read More ...

The correct response to anti-God influencers is to exclude them from your life. Don’t listen to them; don’t consent to them. Don’t allow access to them; don’t allow them to be an influence. And if you want to be more pro-active, fight against them. Argue against them; demonstrate the error of their ways. We can’t destroy them physically, but we can destroy their arguments and their bad ideas. We can try to degrade/reduce their influence. We can keep them away from us. Read More ...
The main question in worship is not, “Do I like it?” The main question is, “Does God like it?” If God finds it acceptable and if it’s faithful to biblical expectations, then it should be acceptable to us. If we are worshiping God “in spirit and in truth,” decently and in order, then it does not matter how we feel about it. We are obligated to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth, and do it in a way that is biblical and right. Read More ...
Any nation can become prosperous if it submits to God’s moral standards. Prosperity naturally comes to communities where they don’t steal, lie, or covet.

The so-called Protestant work ethic stems directly from biblical obligations. Read More ...
