The Unstoppable Word
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound (2 Timothy 2:8–9, esv)! The ancient catacombs are six hundred miles of tunnels underneath Rome, and for three hundred years, […]
Eat the Word
Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts (Jeremiah 15:16, ESV). The last time you had a Bible in your hands, how did you handle it? Did you casually […]

He said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands, and what more can he have but the […]
But God’s Gift
WATCH Throughout my ministry, I’ve repeated this phrase: “Born once, die twice. Born twice, die once.” As sinful from birth, this is the reality we each begin and will end with on earth. The inevitable price of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life – the “good news” of the […]
Growing Faith
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith” (Luke 17:5, ESV)! Ever feel like your faith is small? Perhaps you wish you could do more or be more. Maybe when you look around you, it seems as if everyone else has BIG BOLD FAITH, while yours is just . . . tiny. If that’s […]
The Exhausting Christian Life
For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good (Romans 7:15–16, esv). Many Christians are tired; some are very tired. They don’t […]
