Ten Reasons Why Church Membership Is Biblical

Mitch Chase: “Is church membership biblical? Yes. The reason is that the biblical nature of church membership is established from a variety of passages and considerations. Here’s a cumulative case of ten reasons why church membership is biblical.”

I Need Sundays

Glenna Marshall explains why she so badly needs Sundays—and why she cries pretty much every Sunday.

Christianity vs Everybody

How could a good God allow evil? Is the Bible homophobic? Is Christ really the only way? Whether you’re new to the faith or have been raised in Christianity your whole life, these questions have most likely crossed your mind, perhaps even creating serious doubts for yourself or someone you know. If you want to deepen your own faith or help those who are struggling, we invite you to join us for our weekend seminar, “Christianity vs. Everybody,” hosted by DBTS. (Sponsored Link)

Awake My Soul (Psalm 57) (Video)

I’ve really been enjoying this new song from Shane & Shane and The Worship Initiative.

Every. Single. Word.

“As I was listening to the radio the other day about current events, I found myself asking, ‘I wonder how much of this is true?’ It’s an unfortunate fact that you can’t believe everything someone tells you.

Even the most careful and well spoken individuals sometimes fall into innocent miscommunications and unintentional misrepresentations.”

To preach is to open up the inspired text with such faithfulness and sensitivity that God’s voice is heard and God’s people obey him.

—John Stott

    What Becomes Of All Our Dreams?
