5 THINGS YOU NEED TO BELIEVE ABOUT JESUS’ 2ND COMING by Dennis E. Johnson for Core Christianity The inauguration of the kingdom in Christ’s death, resurrection, ascension, and the outpouring of the Spirit directed believers’ hopes toward a coming consummation of the kingdom, when the King now enthroned in heaven would return to earth as the rescuer of his people and the judge of all.

Remember What It Is to be an American. And Let Freedom Reign Again. by Daisy Luther for The Organic Prepper This has been a year like no other, and as Independence Day rolls around, I find myself looking at the whole thing differently than in years past.

Massaro for Core Christianity When it comes to questions of love and wisdom, it can be difficult to know what to do. What should we do when it comes to the issues that many people disagree about? Actions or habits that are not explicitly condemned or condoned in Scripture are difficult to think through (e.g. drinking, smoking, or who to vote for). This topic is what Christians have categorized as Christian liberty. In many Christian circles, Christian liberty can be taken for granted and…

Joshua’s Mysterious Barefoot Encounter by JUSTIN DILLEHAY for The Gospel Coalition The Bible is full of repeat stories. Peter Leithart describes how he used to train his children during family worship to notice these recurring patterns by saying things like “Wow!

6 QUESTIONS ABOUT CHRIST’S HEART FOR SINNERS by Dane C. Ortlund for Core Christianity Q: Is God mad at me for my sin? A: Fallen, anxious sinners are limitless in their capacity to perceive reasons for Jesus to cast them out. We are factories of fresh resistances to Christ’s love. Even when we run out of tangible reasons to be cast out, such as specific sins or failures, we tend to retain a vague sense that, given enough time, Jesus will finally grow tired of us and hold us at…
