The New Testament uses a striking metaphor for spiritual growth: milk and meat. Milk represents the basics, the easy-to-digest truths of the faith. Meat represents the deeper, harder truths that require maturity, discipline, and discernment. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians:“I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for … More From Milk to Meat: Growing Beyond Shallow Faith
I’ll be honest, sometimes I question my real value. We all want to believe that our lives make an impact, but the truth is, none of us ever really know how far our influence reaches. A kind word, a piece of advice, or even a book written from the heart may land quietly in someone’s … More Measuring Your Worth on God’s Scoreboard
We live in a culture that prizes speed, fast answers, quick results, immediate gratification. But God’s timeline doesn’t run on our clock.

Someone once told me that everyone falls into one of two categories: they are either a thermometer or a thermostat.

In life, thermometer people are those … More Thermometers, Thermostats, and Life’s Storms

Time to ruffle some feathers and make people uncomfortable. Are you ready? In the past few days, the world lost two cultural icons, Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne.

When people think of the devil, they often imagine a red figure with horns, a pitchfork, and a pointed tail. But that image is more Halloween costume than theology. The true nature of the adversary, Lucifer, the fallen cherub, is far more dangerous, far more seductive, and far more misunderstood. To understand temptation, we must … More The Devil You Don’t See: Understanding the Real Tools of Temptation
There are a couple of different interpretations to scripture about what really happens the moment we die. It’s a question that lingers in the hearts of many, especially in moments of grief.

A Theological Reflection on the Immediate Afterlife
I remember life before the internet. Back when neighbors waved, families ate at the same table, and you had to look a man in the eye to betray him.
