Psalm 14 (Part 1): The Fool Speaks!

The certainty of faith is utter assurance because it depends upon nothing of your own. It is entirely trusting that God is a propitious, pardoning God—the God who justifies sinners by forgiving them.

Our Hearts Before God’s Throne

Three Hebrew Handholds in a Spinning Crisis

Long ago, the people of Israel began to sing words of encouragement to each other in times of distress. In their songs, the psalms, are three Hebrew words that provide stability for us. They are more than just words—each one encapsulates the way of God with his people. They serve as helpful handholds in times of stress and upheaval. The words are these: רָפָה (be still), קָוָה (wait), and שָׁמַר (watch).

Dear Death, What Has Become of Your Spear?

Paul says that the power of sin is the law. The more clearly we understand the law, the more sin oppresses and stings us.

Come Near To Me, Please

The primary point of Joseph’s life (and every story in Scripture) is to point us to Christ. To tell us something about what God is like and how He interacts with His Creation.
