How The Gospel Enables and Empowers Sexual Purity

The Bible’s Investment Plan
The Bible contains more than 2,300 verses that deal with money. Jesus talks about money in eleven of his thirty-nine parables. This topic matters to God. What he says in the Bible is what we’re called to live by. Invest in God’s Word first. Invest in God’s work...

Persistent Faith: Overcoming Resistance
Here’s God’s honest truth—you aren’t the only one who’s looked giving up straight in the face. It doesn’t always feel that way, does it? There’s one feeling that frequently overwhelms me when I’m in the thick of trial: a sense of being alone. I’m the only one who’s...
