Our moms always know us better than anyone else and they have so many lessons to teach us throughout our lives. My mom taught me lessons as a child, and I strive to live them out in everything I do now.

No one knows the things that burden his heart or the issues that keep him awake at night. No other human being on this earth knows him as intimately as you. This makes your prayers all that more special, focused, specific, and powerful!

So, husbands, pray for your wife. Pray for her, about her, and with her. Because no matter what your wife’s response is to what you do, the will of God for you is to love her with an unconditional, self-sacrifice love that never changes.

Marriage is about commitment, sacrifice, serving, giving, forgiving — and then doing all over again — every day. Regardless of changes in personalities, aging bodies, or the ever-waning ebb-and-flow of romantic love. The same goes for praying for...

Through my years of ministry, asking about one’s certainty of heaven often had this response: “I sure hope so.” This led to a discussion on finding assurance through God’s Word. Today, I am eager to share that we can possess unwavering confidence.

What is hyssop, really? It's mentioned many times in the Bible, always pointing us to an important fact about how we deal with sin.

If you are experiencing pain today from hurtful words, know you are not alone. Everyone has been hurt by words at some point in their life. Jesus Himself can relate to us as many people said hurtful words to Him. 

Today, there are several significant study Bibles, ranging from the most minimal, offering only cross-references, to others that offer the equivalent of several hundred pages of supplemental helps. But how should a study Bible be used?

Double Predestination suggests God decides who will be saved (the elect) and who will be condemned (the non-elect).

What is sin? This may not be a fun question, but it's a vital question we all need to consider.

As Christians, we can reclaim Thanksgiving. Rather than just being a day where we eat too much and strategize our Black Friday sales plan of attack, we can go back to our historical and spiritual roots as we give thanks to God. When we give thanks...

"I’m afraid, and no matter what I try to do, I can’t win. Can you help me fight my fears?" Brie Barrier Wetherbee answers this question to not only fight fears, but to win, with a cultivated "toolbox" for surviving anxiety.

There's much confusion about what Christianity actually is, who can be considered a Christian, and how a person becomes one. Here's a brief look at how the Bible answers that.

Fatalism is the belief that “what will be will be." In other words, we have no control over our actions, our fate, or our future. This view is incompatible with the Christian doctrine of free will and oversimplifies the issue of God’s divine...

Evangelism, which is spreading the gospel, is important to Jesus. As the Bible tells us, Jesus came so that we may live. Jesus wants everyone to know this truth so they, too, can be part of God’s holy kingdom.

God is, by nature, logical. Scripture makes total sense of the world. The problem is often with how God is portrayed by Christians. The logic is there, and it does not come from people. That logic is God.

Textualism can prevent us from inserting our cultural biases into Scripture and making it say what we want it to say. It forces us to analyze the original context and language and the audience to whom the author addressed.

Anthropomorphism represents an understanding of God using human descriptors. It is a literary device originally “involving the attribution of human qualities to divine beings” although the term later referred to nature and animals as well....

Where Christians tend to split on progressive sanctification comes when holiness (achieving a blameless life) occurs. Most assert it happens when a believer dies and goes to heaven, as nothing impure can enter heaven (Revelation 21:27). However,...

Purgatory has some doctrinal issues. It seems to make salvation a works-based process instead of a gift given freely by the grace of God through his son’s sacrifice and resurrection. So, really, there is no temporal refinement process needed at...
