The gospel of Jesus Christ impacts every aspect of our lives. The imprint of a Biblical worldview is evident in the origins of the science historically, and the opportunity for a Christian to pursue science as an act of obedience to the cultural mandate, and an opportunity to cooperate with God as stewards of His world.…

As we follow Jesus' footsteps to Gethsemane, we see both His humanity and His divine sonship on display. We also see the comparative weakness and failure of Peter, James, and John. Jesus submits His will to that of His Father. Through his example, we can learn how to walk the path of suffering in this life and how to gain strength through weakness …

The beauty of the story is that Jesus looks at us in all of our brokenness, loves us, and invites us to surrender so that we might have eternal life. But the reality of this story is that both religion and riches can rob us of Jesus.Kirjoittanut Seth Dunham

Can you imagine being held by Jesus? Him speaking directly to you…"you have been created by God, you are a son or daughter of God, you are loved…so the love the Lord your God with all you heart, soul, mind and strength." Jesus invites us all to receive the kingdom of God like a child. That invitation is available to you and to me.…

Though challenging, we must be sensitive to what God says about marriage, both in its design and in what cases God allows for divorce.Kirjoittanut Seth Dunham

Because of the toxic effects of sin both for ourselves and those that we are in community with, we are called to ruthless self-examination. Rightly understood, the doctrine of Hell serves as a sobering reminder of the judgement to come and a reminder of the salvation that is available through the finished work of Jesus Christ. Our purpose in this l…

"There is one vice of which no man in the world is free; which everyone in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else and of which hardly any people, except Christians, ever imagine that they are guilty themselves. There is no fault which makes a man more unpopular, and no fault which we are more unconscious of in ourselves. And the more we …
