Abortion providers use neutral, non-specific and even uncommon terms to explain to their “clients” the nature of the entity in the womb and the procedures necessary to remove that unwanted matter. They use terms like “fetus,” “specimen,” “pregnancy termination,” “intrauterine demise,” “do the termination inside and then remove the pregnancy.” And, yet, the true nature of life in the womb is hard,…

The various generations covering the last 100 years or so have all been given their own names: the “Lost Generation” (1883-1900), the “Greatest (or G.I.) Generation” (1901-1924), the “Silent (or Lucky Few) Generation” (1925-1945), the “Baby Boomers” (1946-1964), “Generation X” (1965-1980), “Generation  Y” or the “Millennials” (1981-2000), “Generation Z” (2000-Present). Do these verses from Proverbs describe you or your generation? “There is…

Have you ever found yourself just “going through the motions”? It can happen with anything. It can happen at work, when you don’t really think about what you’re doing, but you just “go through the motions.” It can happen in your marriage, when you don’t give any thought to what you’re doing and why you’re doing it, but you just “go through…

Certainly teachers have heard “every excuse in the book,” and then some! Along with the teachers, parents are in that same boat — no excuse surprises them anymore! But, here’s what I’d like you to consider. Are Christians writing a whole new volume of excuses? It’s not just kids anymore, but adult Christians are finding “every excuse in the book” to justify…

Oops! Could that get me in trouble with God? To tell God that I hate certain persons on this earth (ones whom He has created and ones for whom His Son died) — surely doing something like that must be close to being an “unpardonable sin,” wouldn’t you think? Read these words of David, a man after God’s own heart. “[The wicked]…

Probably every generation since Adam has looked at the next generation and wondered, “What’s wrong with ‘that generation’?” The next generation never seems to quite “live up” to the expectations of the generation before it. However, could we possibly look at a generation and say, “What’s right with ‘that generation’?” I would suggest to you that when you boil it all down,…

I got in line behind a young man who was wearing a brown t-shirt that had text on the front and the back. The front read, “Jesus: Because of Him” and the back, “Heaven Knows Your Name.” The friendly young man, who had a Down Syndrome-like appearance, turned when he saw me and said, “If you need a good church, go to…

The goal and practice of the early church towards new converts is worthy of our attention and emulation. Early Christians were eager to teach the gospel to the lost and longed to baptize each person with whom they studied, so that the individual’s sins might be washed away by the blood of Jesus. They even urged, with persuasive words, a lost person…
