CHRIST the SIMPLE ANSWER: “‘How can we know the way?’ Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way…’” (Jn 14:5-6). Frederick Baedeker received permission to distribute Bibles in the far-flung prisons of Tsarist Russia. At one near the Black Sea, he had given Bibles to the general population, when the guard told of a murderer […]
“When Hezekiah and the leaders came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord and His people Israel” (2 Chron 31:8). Under good king Hezekiah, temple worship had been restored.

Lewis is described in his own words: “To find their way, atheists must make sense out of a random first cause, denounce as immoral all moral denunciation, express meaningfully all meaninglessness, and find security in hopelessness.…You must picture me alone in that room in Magdalen, night after night, […]
Foolishness is more than stupidity. It is the deadly combination of ignorance and arrogance. In spite of facing three frontal attacks from these “miserable comforters” (Job 16:2), Job still has a few arrows left in his quiver.

“I am Yours, save me; for I have sought Your precepts” (Ps 119:94). What better plea can we offer in our times of need? “I am Yours.” When the Lord saw the goings-on at the base of Mt Sinai, He said to Moses, “Go, get down! For YOUR people whom YOU brought out of the […]
How can people in this century take the idea of the virgin birth seriously? Interestingly, the most detail regarding the birth of Christ is given by a medical doctor, in the Lord’s biography by Luke. Often people argue that first century peasants believed in the miracles because they didn’t understand the scientific explanations behind events. […]
CHRIST the WORTHY ONE: “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power” (Rev 4:11). Walk worthy of the glory to which you have been called by God: “You know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you…that you would walk worthy of God who calls you into His […]
