Interview with Dr. Carl Trueman: Part 1
"You do you." "Be true to yourself." "Live your truth." These are common expressions in today's culture, but how do they stand up in light of Scripture?
"You do you." "Be true to yourself." "Live your truth." These are common expressions in today's culture, but how do they stand up in light of Scripture?
When Jesus glory was revealed on the Mount of Transfiguration, the Fathers voice said, "Listen to him." This is, in a sense, the greatest commandment.
Gods Word is truth and tells us the truth about Him, our world, and ourselves. Jesus said, 'I am the truth.' Likewise, His people are called not to bear false witness.
The Ten Commandments are more than a cultural fixture or moral foundation; they reveal two things every person needs to see: their sin and the Lord Jesus.
The primary impact of the Ten Commandments in the life of a Christian should be to overwhelm us with the glory of Christ and lead us to fall down before Him in worship.
Lilias Trotter could have been one of England's greatest artists, but she chose the narrow road with Christ instead. Join special guest Miriam Rockness as she shares Lilias' inspiring story.
A tree and a kingdomthese themes intertwine from Genesis to Revelation. In Matthews Gospel, a "kingdom tree" stands at the heart of Jesus parables, pointing to a larger story.
Whats the most valuable thing you possess? That depends on what you value most, but is it all relative? Jesus says no; there is, in fact, something more valuable than anything else.
The Gospel means, literally, good news. And Jesus preached the good news that the Kingdom of Heaven had now come in Him. Yet his message didnt sound like good news to many who heard it. Why is that?
Why does the same Gospel message penetrate the heart of one person but not another? And for the Christian, why is spiritual growth such an uphill battle?
The Kingdom of Heaventhats what Jesus came preaching, according to Matthews Gospel. Its a topic so big that everything Jesus taught fits under that header. So, what is the Kingdom of Heaven?
The cost of following Jesus is great, but the reward of knowing Him is greater. Thats His promise and the testimony of those who have gone before us. We need to listen.
What difference does Jesus make? Its more than securing a place in heaven for the one who believes. His presence changes everything, even today. So, what does it look like to seek His presence?
Whats truly worthy of your life? Whats worth giving up good things for, so you can devote yourself to that one thing? That question can be paralyzing, but beholding Jesus by faith changes everything
Her potential for greatness was self-evident. Even in Victorian England, her work was turning heads, but her eyes were fixed on a greater glory. Lilias took another path and worked for a better prize.
Lilias Trotter could have been Englands greatest artist, but she chose the narrow road with Christ, pursuing His calling instead.
"For our good and His glory." Thats more than a standard Christian answer; its Gospel truth about Gods purposes in all things.
Will your anchor hold in lifes greatest storms? Out on the water, youre at the mercy of forces far greater than yourself, which is why we become most aware of our need in those moments.
Following Jesus leads to joy, but those who follow Him will also suffer various kinds of grief. However, Gods Word promises that our future joy will be far greater.
Christians grieve differently. Is that too bold of a statement? All people grieve, no matter what they believe. But when someone dies in Christ, Gods Word offers hope that makes all the difference.
Grief is common to all humanity, and yet unique for every person. The world offers little hope, but Christians can grieve differently.
Living for Christ is like running a race; the Bible is clear on that. But its a different sort of race. Its not about beating the competition but winning the prize. Its a race we run by faith.
Where are you now? Thats helpful to know, but its only meaningful if you know where youve been and where youre going. Were not talking about a road trip, but the Christian life.
Gold implies prestige and success, but an Olympic gold medal means even more. For some athletes, it validates their career and identity, but not for Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone.
Whats the basis of a strong Christian testimony? Its not how impressive the person is, but how impressed they are with Jesus.
Elite athletes can do amazing things and are often put on a pedestal. Yet, they are people toosinners in need of a Savior.
Stories of victory are what most people want to hear from the Olympics. Yet sometimes its the stories of loss that we can relate to more.
When the nations gather in the Bible, its often to oppose what God is doing. At the Olympics, nations gather to compete.
People called him the Flying Scotsman. Eric Liddell won gold 100 years ago this month, but his greatest challenges were yet to come.
As the Olympic Games begin, one can't help but remember the man from Scotland who ran a hundred years ago. Chariots of Fire gave him a legacy, but Eric Liddell ran for God's glory.
