Why Are So Many Christians Unhappy? By Jim Johnston
Joy is the emotion of salvation. We rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory (1 Peter 1:8). If you’re a Christian, the Spirit gives you soaring delight in Christ. His beauty and greatness thrill your soul. But quite a few believers struggle to...
HOW CHRISTIANS WALK IN THE WORLD by Tim Brister
Near the end of His earthly ministry, Jesus prayed to the Father on behalf of His disciples what has been called His High Priestly Prayer (John 17). When we consider the content of His High Priestly prayer, we soon discover indicatives regarding the state of His...
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....

DEALING WITH DISCOURAGEMENT By Pastor Scott Henry
“Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance. O my God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, and from the...
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...
