Elyse Fitzpatrick pens a great article on the Camping controversy: What’s astounding about Jesus’ conversation with the disciples is that Jesus himself didn’t know the answer to their “when?” question. Think of that. The disciples ask God a question he can’t answer! In this case, in his humanity, he wasn’t privy to this information. He […] 
You may have heard this quote before: “What a man is in secret, in these private duties, that he is in the eyes of God and no more…” —John Owen, Indwelling Sin in Believers (1667). While reading this morning, I found a similar quote. It really hit home: “It is […] Don’ t you just love worship songs that make much of our God?

Jesus is the true and better Abel who, though innocently slain, has blood now that cries out, not for our […] 
Yesterday, for Theology Thursday, we answered the question, “What is a mediator?” I found this quote by Herman Bavinck helpful in shedding more light on the subject: “Believers all call themselves by the name of Christ and in communion with this Christ they are themselves anointed as prophets, priests, and kings. Christ is given […]
