Neil Postman on Words and Images: An Antidote to Truth Decay

Douglas Groothuis doesn’t hold back when he says “most Americans are well-informed, hyperactive ignoramuses. They are information-rich, information-ravenous, and knowledge-deprived.”

Debunking the 1946 Myth: The Bible and Homosexuality Explained (Video)

The Crimson Worm (Psalm 22) 

Some living things, even ones we consider insignificant, can point us to the person and work of Jesus in surprising and amazing ways. The crimson worm is one of these lowly but unique creations. About seven millimeters long, the crimson worm is barely longer than the width of a pencil eraser. You might call it minimal, minor, miniature, or minuscule. But God created the crimson worm to have a life cycle that points us to one event: Jesus’ saving death on the cross. (Sponsored)

The Discipleship Crisis

“Our churches are not forming us into deep and rich faith. I’ve been writing around this for a while, but I don’t think we’re talking about it enough. There are, of course, wonderful exceptions of individuals with deep and rich faith. You, dear friend, may well be among them. May Jesus continue to draw you towards himself.” However…

Flashback: When God Seems Deaf To Our Cries

God knew better than to answer the prayers in the way that seemed so good and so necessary to that young man.

A domineering manner, an unbridled ambition, an offensive strut, a tyrant’s talk—no attitude could be less fit for one who claims to be a servant of the Son of God.

—Oswald Sanders

    You May Not Need Nearly as Much House as You Think You Do

    Our house is emptier than it has ever been, and that makes it feel bigger than it has ever been. It’s funny how the home that often felt just a little too small for the five of us now feels just a little too big for the two of us. Even a little house can…

    How Men Can Use Their Authority Well

    There are few topics that have proven trickier to navigate than the topic of authority. We know we need authority to function as families, churches, and nations, yet there is something deep within our sinful humanity that causes us to rebel against it wherever it exists.
