Behold Our God! (Podcast)
Behold Our God! Podcast by Pastor David Platt for Radical Podcast HERE >>> When we think of becoming more like Christ, we often think of what we need to do. However, we should not forget the transforming effect of beholding. Scripture teaches us that we become like whatever we set our gaze upon. In this message from Matthew 17, David Platt urges us to behold Christ in His glorious perfections so that, by the power of the Spirit, we might be changed more and more into His likeness. The One…
READ MOREHow to Turn Repentance Into a Non-Apology Apology
How to Turn Repentance Into a Non-Apology Apology by SAM ALLBERRY for The Gospel Coalition It seems to be an almost daily occurrence on the news. A public figure has done or said something that crosses a significant moral line for many people. They try to make a statement that expresses contrition (to satisfy those feeling aggrieved) while not actually admitting any wrongdoing (thus retaining their public credibility). This solution is the non-apology apology, or the faux-pology, the posture of “sorry not sorry.” They’ll say, “I’m sorry that people were…
READ MOREWhere is God in a coronavirus world?
Where is God in a coronavirus world? from Christian Today With the coronavirus pandemic causing so much uncertainty, fear and difficulty, many could be wondering: where is God? Oxford mathematics professor John Lennox has written a short book attempting to answer that very question. In Where is God in a Coronavirus World?, Professor Lennox seeks to move beyond the soundbites and help people make sense of why a loving God would allow something like Covid-19, and where He is in the midst of it all. He speaks to Christian Today about his view…
READ MOREImplanted Word…
Implanted Word… Faith without works is dead… The passage above, from the Book of James, is pretty standard fare heard around any house of recovery. Praying and believing is one thing, living in the ways of the Lord is whole other thing. Being the only copy of the Good Book that some people will ever see carries a fair amount weight. If one goes around saying they are this or that, but their actions don’t line up with what they say, well, who are they…what are they? Remember that we…

It’s August 24, 1992.

READ MOREA New Highway
A New Highway One of the greatest paragraphs that thine eyes have read was written in 1928. At the time it seemed like “happy words on a page”. Today, however, these words paint a picture of freedom, an image of a life well lived and shows what happens when a heart is softened by the love of God. Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join…

READ MOREDID GOD DIE ON GOOD FRIDAY?
DID GOD DIE ON GOOD FRIDAY? by Adriel Sanchez for Core Christianity The centerpiece of Good Friday is the cross of Jesus Christ. On the Friday before Easter, Jesus was crucified and died. This creates a dilemma in the mind of some. If Jesus is God, how could he die? After all, God cannot change (Mal. 3:6), so how are we to make sense of Jesus’ death? Was it real? Believe it or not, some people in church history said it was not! Early on, there was a heretical group…
