It’s remarkable how often the Bible describes the Christian life as a shared life.

There are so many biblical commands we can fulfill and examples we can imitate only if we are involved in one…

One of my favorite things to do is to read old (or older, at least) books and to uncover the treasures they so often contain.

This sponsored post was written by Cory Verner, Co-founder of christianaudio.com My first experience with audio Bibles was probably similar to yours, and on my commute, back in the 90’s I bought my first set (or should I say case) of cassettes to listen to in the car. It came with a whopping 48 cassettes…
I have often reflected on how and why dating has become so difficult in the 20 years since it was of any real concern to me. At least, when speaking to today’s young adults and observing their lives, it sure seems there has been a significant shift. Something has changed between then and now so…

I recently had the opportunity to speak and preach on marriage. This is always a tremendous challenge personally.
