Labor and Rest

Labor and Rest

“He who dies with the most toys wins.” “I owe, I owe, so off to work I go.” If you are of a certain age, you may remember seeing these bumper stickers on the backs of cars. They capture much of the way that the world looks at work…

Winter Seasons

Winter Seasons

Each winter, the vibrant flowers and lush landscape outside the back window transform into a sober, muted palette. Trees become stark sketches of brown against the white snow, while the deep greens of spruces and pines jut into the endless…

Enter His Gates with Thanksgiving

Enter His Gates with Thanksgiving

One of the greatest benefits of life in the local church is a shared memory of our history and shared thanksgiving in the Lord’s manifold provisions. Seeing the church as a great cloud of witnesses provides storehouses of…

Seeing Sin for What It Is

Seeing Sin for What It Is

Things are not always as they appear. A calm sea can mask a deadly undertow, and a fleeting pleasure can hide the seeds of destruction. This is the nature of life in a fallen world—appearances can deceive. Nowhere is this more true than in the realm of sin…

What Keeps You Going?

What Keeps You Going?

What draws you out of bed and gets you going each day? Is it the smell of your morning coffee? Is it the demands of work or family life? Asking it another way: What drives or impels you, deep down, to live another day…

A Thousand Years of Christ’s Reign

A Thousand Years of Christ’s Reign

From Generation to Generation

From Generation to Generation

It is sad to observe the children of faithful parents turn aside from the Lord. We see it throughout the Scriptures. Adam and Eve raise a son named Cain; one of Abraham’s sons is Ishmael; Manasseh follows his father,…

God Sings

God Sings From TABLETALK by R. Carlton Wynne   The Bible is replete with singing. It is hard to read the Bible without encountering it. Job teaches that as God laid the foundations of the earth, the angels “sang together” and “shouted for joy” (Job 38:7). When Adam...

Paul and Barnabas Argue over John Mark

Paul and Barnabas Argue over John Mark

For a time after the Jerusalem Council, Saul and Barnabas remained in Syrian Antioch, ministering as a team to the church there (Acts 15:35). Sadly, however, their co-laboring would not last.
