Fat Secret: The Invisible Sin of Gluttony by Clint Archer
Oliver Twist could hardly be accused of gluttony when he voiced his politely audacious request, “Please sir, I want some more.” But an identical demand from the overstuffed mouth of young Augustus Gloop, the obese candy addict in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,...
TRUE WORSHIP BY JOSEPH S. CARROLL
What then is worship? The term comes to us in our modern speech from the Anglo-Saxon “weorth-scipe,” which later developed into “worship,” meaning “to attribute worth to an object.” Worship is the “worthship” of the one you worship. To worship Jesus Christ is to...
HOW TO KNOW HOW SATAN IS TEMPTING YOU By Pastor Tim Challies
Martin Luther once compared the Christian to a drunk man trying to ride a horse. It’s a comically apt comparison. This man scrambles up one side of the horse, and promptly falls off the opposite side. So then he climbs up from that side, and falls right off the other....
HOW SHOULD CHRISTIANS VIEW WORLD HISTORY? By Dr. R.C. SPROUL
“What goes around, comes around.” This American idiom suggests a view of history that has more in common with ancient Greek philosophy than with the Judeo-Christian understanding of history. The grand difference between the ancient view of history and that found in...
HOLY SCRIPTURE AND THE HOLY SPIRIT By Pastor Scott Henry
“As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word that you may grow thereby...” (1 Peter 2:2). The Lord guides His people by the light of His Word and the blessed Holy Spirit, who enables us to understand, believe and love the Scriptures (John 14:26), which alone...

TRANSGENDERISM, PROGRESSIVISM, AND GOD’S LAW by Rev. Matthew Powell
Bruce Jenner is not a woman. He is a man. Every single chromosome in his body records this fact. He can mutilate and poison himself all he likes, but he will remain a man. A badly damaged man, perhaps, but still a man. He can no more make himself a woman than I can...
SALVATION BY JESUS ALONE! By Pastor Scott Henry
“Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). Most people in our society think that all “spiritual” roads lead to heaven. They say if a person is sincere and lives a moral life then surely...
COMPLAINING OR PRAISING? By Pastor Scott Henry
“Do all things without complaining or disputing; that you may prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world…” (Philippians 2:14-15). If we...
CONTROL YOUR TONGUE By Pastor Scott Henry
“Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit” (Psalm 34:13). Most, if not all, of our problems relate to our tongue … our speech is one of the easiest ways to sin. We cannot do just anything we want, but we sure can say just about anything. Do you...
