Worldviews matter when it comes to purpose and meaning. There are various versions of what is found in my title. Other formulations would include, ‘Nothing happens in life without a reason.’ And if something does not take place, a related saying is: ‘It wasn’t meant [...]

How should we best respond to our diabolical pop culture? What messages are our youth imbibing from such music and entertainment? There are at least two issues I want to discuss here. One is the old problem of calling out evil in society, and whether [...]

Marriage matters, and women and children especially suffer without it. Many decades of social science research have conclusively demonstrated that heterosexual marriage is an invaluable social good, with benefits for adults, children and society at large. As a well-documented 2004 booklet that I was involved [...]

Do we need to remake God to keep the trans activists happy? Why not simply respect His preferred pronouns? Here is a truth you can take to the bank: every stupid and idiotic idea, trend, fashion and ideology that the world is pushing will eventually [...]

Reading Tozer never disappoints. His reflections on cultivating a deeper spiritual life are timely exhortations for us today. One can argue that pretty much everything A. W. Tozer wrote about or spoke about had to do with the deeper life: that is, with intimately knowing [...]

We all need to pray more -- I sure do. Just in case you are thinking: ‘Here goes Bill again, bashing other believers’ -- not so. If anything, I am bashing myself here, while trying to encourage others. I have not prayed anywhere near as [...]

What we should know about George MacDonald. The famous Scottish author, poet and Christian Congregational minister has had a huge impact on so many. His numerous works are still widely read today. As C. S. Lewis once said about MacDonald: “I have never concealed the [...]

We can learn a lot from Moses and his concern for God’s glory. If you are like me, you may often worry about what others think of you. What should really concern us, however, is what God thinks of us. After all, the fear of [...]

This new volume offers us plenty of help in dealing with various difficulties found in Scripture. If you are familiar with key contemporary Christian apologists, you would know of Paul Copan. I happen to have 22 of his books, and he has written more than [...]

The cross of Jesus Christ is the central reality of Christianity. Be inspired by these powerful quotes on the profound significance of His sacrifice.

This is the supreme part of the Christian life. I continue offering some fantastic quotes from the book Whatever Happened to Worship? edited and compiled by Gerald B. Smith (Moody, 1985, 2012). With so many inspiring and moving quotations to be found in the book, [...]

These are some of the most important things we can ever dwell upon. The other day I shared this quote from R. C. Sproul: “The point of the exodus was not simply to redeem people from oppression, but to redeem them to something: from slavery [...]

What we must know about ‘tolerance’. Tolerance used to be understood to mean respectfully disagreeing with others. It implied the fact that two people differed on some matter. But today it has come to mean something quite different. Today it means you must agree with [...]

Everyone must be aware of the dangers of idolatry. As will become quite clear after reading the following quotes, an idol is anything we put in the place of the one true God. It can be your job, your car, your spouse, your hobby, your [...]

How do we understand the role of emotion in the Christian life? We are emotional beings who have very real feelings. But that is not all that we are. We are also intellectual beings who can think, and volitional beings who can make choices. Yet [...]

This brief volume by R. C. Sproul is a little gem of a book, reflecting on the purpose of humanity in the light of our glorious God. The noted American theologian and pastor R. C. Sproul passed away late in December 2017 (aged 78). I [...]

What we do for God must be done in God’s way and with God’s enabling. We all have gifts and abilities which have been given to us by God. And God expects us to use them for His glory. It may not always be clear [...]

Why we should say ‘no’ to the Voice. Australia’s Labor Prime Minister Albanese wants a referendum about including an Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the Australian Constitution. This is to supposedly counter “racism” and the like. While there are many lefties clamouring for this, how [...]

When you want to defend unspeakable evil, the only way to get away with it is to do a demolition job on truth, logic, reason, and reality. And if you want to pretend to be a Christian while defending the indefensible, then you have to [...]

What General MacArthur managed to do in Japan after the war was nothing short of remarkable. What do you do if you are given the task of turning a feudalistic and militaristic culture that has just been defeated in war into a democratic, stable and [...]
