Today, we will look at the first of the “resolutions” we as believers would do well to implement this year, and that is: Reading. And not just reading anything, but specifically reading the Bible. The Bible is the holy and inerrant word of God (it is without error). And since God is our almighty, all-knowing, and tenderly […]
Well, it’s another new year. 2025 seemed to come and go in the blink of an eye, and here we are in 2026. For many in the world, a new year comes with making resolutions. We commit ourselves afresh to sticking to a diet, going to the gym, learning something new, and so on. Even as a […]
In two days, we will be celebrating what is very likely the most well-known holiday in the Western world. No doubt many reading this email have either bought presents for loved ones, put up decorations, decorated a Christmas tree, or maybe even baked some Christmas cookies. (Maybe you’ve done all of those things). But for me, one […]
It’s that time of year again. The weather has turned, the leaves are falling (or have mostly fallen already), and Christmas is around the corner. But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, we are about to celebrate one of my favorite holidays this week: Thanksgiving. Our God is such a gracious and merciful God, and […]
Next week, people all around the world will be celebrating Halloween, but did you know that October 31st is also a special day for the Church? Just over five hundred years ago, on October 31st, a monk who had been wrestling with much of what the “church” had been teaching nailed his “95 Theses” to the door […]
We have been looking at the Resurrection for several months now, but before moving on, there is one last thing I would like to look at regarding the Resurrection and its benefits for the believer. In the final verse of 1 Corinthians 15, Paul concludes this iconic chapter by saying: “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, […]
Continuing with our theme of looking at the Resurrection, today I would like to look at another of its benefits for believers. Following on from last month, where we looked at 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, Paul continues in verses 54-57 to show us that the Resurrection has taken away the sting of death. He says: “When the perishable […]
In the last couple of emails, I have been focusing on the resurrection and why it’s important for our salvation, and I would like to continue with this theme for a few more months as there is still much more to discuss regarding this fundamental doctrine of the Christian Faith. Not only is the resurrection important […]
A couple emails ago, I claimed that the resurrection “vindicates Christ,” and we looked at one way it does this. Today, I’d like to explore another way the resurrection vindicates Him: It does so by proving His righteousness. When God raised Christ from the dead, He declared to the world that the sacrifice made by Jesus was sufficient. […]
Just a few days ago, we celebrated Easter, but have you ever thought much about what Easter is all about? Is it just about bunnies and finding hidden eggs? These things may be fun and cute (especially for children), but they are not what Easter is all about. On Easter, we remember and celebrate the life and […]
