The essential question for believers when thinking about any issue is always, “What does the Bible say?” It matters little what politicians, leaders, or celebrities say. My goal as a preacher and Bible teacher is to search the Word to find truth and then to explain it and apply it...

I’ve lived in a border state for most of my life, so I’ve heard much about legal and illegal immigration and the border. I’ve heard so much that I am confident that I could eloquently tell you the Republican position, the Democratic position, the President’s position, and the Governor’s position....

I am deeply interested in science, recognizing it as the study of what God has made. An exciting astronomy headline caught my attention last week, “Scientists find ‘strongest evidence yet’ of life on distant planet.” The article came from the BBC and was picked up by many news organizations. It...

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:20, NIV I love my country. There is no country on Earth in which I would rather live. I spend most of my vacations exploring the natural places, the history, the cities, and...

We’re closing in on a major election, and one of the issues taking the spotlight is a woman’s right to abortion. I’ve been scanning the flyers that land in my mailbox and the texts that come to my phone, and I’ve noticed a trend. One side emphasizes protection of unborn...
