Teaching Children About God in Everyday Moments

Take Every Thought Captive: Winning the Battle for Your Mind

Saved by Grace Through Faith: When We Add to the Gospel

Are good works or religious practices necessary for salvation? The Jerusalem Council faced this very question in Acts 15. Its answer reminds us of the comforting truth that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

There’s No Place Like Home: Why Christian Community Matters

We all need a place to belong. Paul and Barnabas found encouragement and support in the Christian community at Antioch—and their homecoming reminds us why God never intended us to walk the journey of faith alone.

God’s Word is a Lamp

During my childhood and teen years, I spent many delightful weeks each summer at a camp in Halstead, PA. All year long I would look forward to returning to this peaceful haven where I enjoyed Christian friends as well as God’s beautiful creation. Camp Iroquoina was located down a long, windy, and dusty road nestled in the Pocono Mountains. My time there shaped my life in more ways than one.

Life from Death

Looking through my photos the other day I found a picture I had taken a few summers ago. I snapped it because it was so unusual. On our side porch where the concrete pad meets the brick wall a petunia plant had grown up and blossomed with vibrant pink flowers. This beautiful gift from God had sprung up from a crack in the barren, dead concrete.
