Elyse Fitzpatrick does a great job of helping us see how the gospel of Jesus Christ changes everything, including when anger rises in our heart while we impatiently wait at the grocery check out lane: Briefly, here’s how the whole gospel message might impact me when I’m struggling with my own unbelief, idolatry and sin: [...]

Here is a short video with Governor David Beasley sharing his experience of finding common ground with a Muslim friend from Yemen. Unbeknownst to him, Jesus is in the Qur’an. I really appreciate his humility by confessing that he didn’t know something and by learning about Islam from a Muslim. HT: Carl Medearis

The Jesus Storybook Bible for kids is one of the best children’s Bibles we’ve read. We love the subtitle: Every Story Whispers His Name. Understanding that the whole Bible speaks about and points to Jesus Christ is crucial if we are going to understand what the message of the Bible is. Here is a video [...]

From the Crossway blog: Excerpt modified from chapter 9 of Doctrine (Read the full chapter). Without the resurrection, the few billion people today who worship Jesus as God are gullible; their hope for a resurrection life after this life is the hope of silly fools who trust in a dead man to give them life.

I immediately wanted to post a link to The Big Picture’s Holy Week 2010 pictures. But I had second thoughts after looking at the pictures. Most of the pictures come from traditions that are not biblical and began hundreds of years after the death of Jesus Christ. Especially sad are the traditions in which penitents [...]

Three years ago I had the opportunity to preach on Good Friday. My short message was titled, “Take Heart, I Have Overcome the World,” which comes straight from the mouth of Jesus Christ in John 16:33. One of the driving passions of my life is that all people would see that the death of Jesus [...]

Zafar Siddiqui recently attended a passover meal at a synagogue in St Paul, MN. He wrote about his experience in the Star Tribune. In his piece for the Star Trib he quotes many texts from the Qur’an that also speak of Moses and how God worked through him to save his people. This is what [...]

25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched [...]
