Our Source of Strength in the Heavy Seasons of Life

Lois writes about the heavy seasons of life and what it is that makes them so weighty.

Should We Call God Mother? (Video)

It is not unusual today to hear people who insist we can or should refer to God as “mother.” Dr. Kyle Claunch responds.

The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul

There is no one like our God. Encountering His holiness leaves us forever changed, bringing new awareness of our sin and need for His grace. R.C. Sproul’s classic book, The Holiness of God, invites readers deeper into the truth of Scripture, that we may marvel at the Lord’s greatness and the wonder of His salvation through Jesus Christ. You can request the 40-anniversary edition of this celebrated book today with your donation to Ligonier Ministries. (Sponsored)

Go Make Hay

“The building is stuffy and reeks of urine and lethargy as the elderly lie bedridden beneath crumpled sheets. Nonetheless, like moths to a flame, we happily return.”

If Faithfulness Isn’t the Highest Priority

Stephen says, “The truth is, if anything is a higher priority to us than our faithfulness to Jesus, there is almost no sin we won’t tolerate in order to get it.” This means we need to think carefully about what may be more important to us than faithfulness.

A Heart for Adoption

Dan Cruver reflects on the doctrine of adoption. “This wonderful gospel reality—or, I should say, this breathtaking adoption reality—forever changes everything, including how we relate to God, our fellow human beings, and creation itself as God’s good stewards.”

Going Against the Grain

“Paul is encouraging us to go against the grain of the culture, to not follow the patterns of this world, to not fit in with society. Indeed, we must be outcasts as Christians. We are the anomalies; we are the sojourners; we are the weird ones.”

Flashback: Like an iPhone, Only Much More So

We all know what it is to try to relate to people who are distracted by a phone. And we all know how much better it is to be undistracted. The challenge, of course, is in living that out.

We can’t teach kids kitty-cat theology and expect them to have lion-like resolve.
