Whenever a young man or woman begins to look for their first job, there’s a piece of advice that is nearly universally given. “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” The idea is that you always want to convey to a potential employer that you take your work seriously and have ambitions beyond an entry-level position.

I remember the first time I really learned God’s name. When I was very young, my dad showed me the 1956 film The Ten Commandments, starring Charlton Heston as Moses.

You’ve probably seen this scene in a movie. After many hours of questioning, an interrogation officer moves a light directly into his suspect’s eyes. He slams the table and shouts, “Admit it!” The suspect breaks down and pours his heart out. The police get their man, and it’s a job well done. Admitting guilt is not easy. We will go to great…

But, there is a song I’d like to take a closer look at that is about the magnificent words of the Bible: “Ancient Words.” It has a simple, yet beautiful melody and…
How do you know when your child is old enough to be baptized? Whenever I hear the question, I immediately know that the person asking already understands much of what the Bible says concerning baptism. It means they know that the Bible clearly teaches that baptism saves (cf. 1 Pet. 3:21). It also means that they know that children do not need…
