What points can we learn from the Purim story, that happened in the Persian kingdom so long ago, that are meaningful for us today?

Is there a link between the blood moons and End Time events? And if so, where does Purim fit into the picture with its focus on the story of Queen Esther?

We all sin. And that includes Christians. Some sins are more obvious and overt than others. When a pastor or Christian leader sins – often in the form of sexual sin – it is manifest to lots of people. How should Christians respond to these situations?

I do not want to minimise what believers in Syria and elsewhere are now experiencing. But whatever suffering and persecution we go through, we know that it is limited in duration, that Satan has been overcome and Christ’s enemies will be dealt with, and we will live with our Lord forever.

There’s much to worry about in this uncertain world — the world really is on fire. But as I think and blog about these issues, I try to process them in a way that draws me closer to God and His goodness rather than toward despair and fear.

Does the Bible endorse taxpayer-funded foreign aid? A look at Christian ethics and public policy.

Insofar as the tide is turning against us, rejoice because, in my limited understanding, it means that God is at work. As God encroaches on Satan’s fiefdom, he will rage all the more, using people, governments, and social movements as his tools.

When we are mindful of Jesus’ words and put them into practice, He promises to be our Rock! When the earthquake comes, our Seismic Strengthening will hold us fast.
