“Read your Bible, pray every day, and you’ll grow, grow, grow.” It’s a fun little song that we teach our children very early on in life, but it shouldn’t just be something we teach our kids; this is something all believers need to cling to. So far this year, we have looked at some resolutions that we, […]
The resolution that I want to reflect on this month is “reading books.” We have already discussed the importance of reading the Bible, but here I am talking about reading good theological books written by faithful Christian authors. And although this resolution isn’t explicitly commanded in Scripture, it is taught in principle and is helpful for our […]
Spring is finally upon us. Soon we will experience the beauty of flowers blooming and trees growing new leaves. It is the time of year when the dead of winter gives way to new life. This change in season also provides us with a beautiful illustration of the Christian life. There are times in our spiritual walk […]
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 […]
