A new anti-religion-in-schools billboard, what has happened to penal substitutionary atonement, the darker side of predestination, a reminder to keep evangelism on the table, and a Psalm of encouragement for those who are suffering.

Como varones cristianos, debemos ser dirigidos por la palabra de Dios y por Su deseo para un hombre cristiano, no por nuestros deportistas y comentaristas deportivos, publicistas, o auto-proclamados gurús de vida.

Unless we are very deliberate and diligent, evangelism will almost always ‘fall of the table’ when push comes to shove in church (or Christian group) practice.

Many older people—and some younger ones too—have difficulty sleeping right through the night, spending hours or minutes trying to go to sleep.

When learning to pray, children (and adults!) often fall into a rut. They use the same words and pray the same things every time. I came up with an idea to help, to make praying fun, and to prompt the people praying to consider more things to pray about.

In 1 Corinthians 9:24, the Apostle Paul urges Christians: “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize?

If we don’t convey the enthusiasm, joy and peace that we claim to have from the Spirit, people have no reason to believe us, and we become the worst kind of salespeople.
