People Do Not Seek God
How many times have you heard Christians say (or heard the words from your own mouth), “So-and-so is not a Christian but he’s searching”? It is a common statement among Christians.

Never Well Enough
“Behold, God is great, and we know him not; the number of his years is unsearchable.” (Job 36:26) It is impossible to know God too well. He is the most important person who exists.

Several years ago I learned to take crisp, brief vacations. I’ve found they relax me more than the monster trips. One weekend myContinue reading “No Long Longer Vacation”

Paul’s use of the words “on the night [Jesus] was betrayed” (1 Corinthians 11:23) underscores the serious nature of the matter he was addressing. It was Christ who implemented the first Communion (Lord’s Supper), and He did so on the Passover night before His crucifixion. Paul revisits the importance of this ordinance to correct aContinue reading “Insight to the Word”
