Tweet“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.” Genesis 3:15 When God spoke the earth into existence, it was formless and void—a lump of clay, so to speak, ready for the [...]
Tweet“Be holy, because I, the LORD your God, am holy.” Leviticus 19:2 I’m in Washington DC, participating in Chuck Colson’s Simulcast on Ethics: Doing the Right Thing. He asked me to address “the roots of moral authority”. It was an interesting topic, because we seldom challenge another’s basis for saying something is “right” or “wrong”. [...]
Tweet “All Scripture is inspired by God…” 2 Timothy 3:16 Just how reliable are the Scriptures? This is one of the great challenges that face a Christian college student, and the rest of us as well. This week, Focus on the Family is releasing the second set in the TrueU series, taught by Dr. Stephen [...]
Tweet “And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again. And he was stating the matter plainly.” Mark 8:31 Jesus told them it would happen. He taught [...]
Tweet“What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” Matthew 8:27 Few things evoke a picture of fear more than the “dark and stormy night”.

Tweet The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1 I hope you all had a very wonderful 4th of July and celebrated the privilege we have to live in this wonderful country. With all of her faults and current travails, she is still awesome to me. [...]
Tweet“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 On Friday, we hiked the 3-mile “Delicate Arch” trail. It took us over chert (a hard, shiny rock that the Native Americans fashioned into tools and weapons), very large open areas of “slickrock” and along a ledge that [...]
Tweet “Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” For when they maintain this, it [...]
Tweet Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12 A cord of wood is 128 cubic feet: four feet high, four feet wide and eight feet long. We cut a couple of them the other day. I say “we” because I have three [...]
Tweet…He really did rise from the grave! Our faith is not a mystical faith. It is a faith that is based upon reality. Maybe not a reality that can be totally seen, but reality nevertheless. That is the point Paul is making in 1 Corinthians 15: For what I received I passed on to you [...]
