Posted on January 27, 2026 Posted by Joshua Milligan

The Name of God: An Introduction

Posted on January 22, 2026 Posted by Joshua Milligan

Clearly, names are important in God’s Word and are not meant to be taken lightly. But we must remember the One name above all other names (Philippians 2:9), which is the name of God. The name of God can be a sensitive subject, especially when one considers the fact that we are not meant to take the name of God in vain (Exodus 20:7).

Being Resolved in 2026

Posted on January 6, 2026 Posted by Joshua Milligan

New Year’s resolutions are a funny business. Around the time when the old year is ending and the new one is beginning, we start to examine our performance during the previous year. We ask questions, such as, “Did I lose enough weight? Did I read the Word every day? Did I spend more time with […]
