There are moments when the world seems to stop — moments when news breaks that shakes us to the core. The assassination of Charlie Kirk this past week has been one of those moments.  Read More

It has become increasingly common in Christian circles to hear phrases like: “God told me…” “I was having coffee with God the other morning, and He said…” “The Lord gave me a word for you…”  Read More

Of all the things Jesus said, few have caused more confusion—or fear—than His warning about the unpardonable sin. What is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Have I committed it?

One of the greatest privileges—and responsibilities—Christian parents and churches have is to teach God’s truth to the next generation. Yet in a distracted, fast-paced world, it’s easy to drift toward holding back portions of Scripture that feel too difficult, too heavy, too harsh, or too old-fashioned.

Known for directness, Puritan pastor Thomas Watson seeks to win men’s understanding. Warning against the seriousness of sin and the dangers of superficial repentance and complacency in the Christian life, Watson reminds us of Scripture's clarion call that believers should live a Holy Life with a timeless message: "Repentance is never out of season," even if the world claims otherwise.   Read More
