The Threat of Christian Zionism
Monday, March 24th, 2008If the phenomenal success of the bestselling Left Behind series indicates anything about the prevailing eschatological mindset across a wide swath of the evangelical landscape in modern America, then we would do well to pause and consider. Where is this fascination with the sensational, and frequently outright bizarre, interpretation of the significance of current events […]
Coming to Christ
Sunday, March 16th, 2008Before I saw Christ, oh, how I feared to come to God! He was holy and I was sinful. He was righteous and I was guilty. He was wrathful and I was a child of wrath, deserving of every eternal torment. But then God’s merciful Spirit opened my eyes to the King of Glory, and […]

Friday, October 5th, 2007Current Needs It is virtually indisputable that the last great frontier of the world missions movement involves the various unreached peoples of Islam.

A Note to the Downhearted
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007Come unto me, all you who labor and are burdened down, and I will give you rest.
