A Beautiful Life

While the world understands positive expressions of beauty, the Christian is the only person on earth who can also find beauty in trial, sorrow, and pain. The secret is where we place our gaze and in what what we find beautiful!

The End Of The World In Malachi

When we think about the second coming of Christ, we must realize that the Bible describes two kinds of comings. There is His coming in judgment against Jerusalem and His bodily coming for the saints at the end of history. Join us as we discover which kind of coming Malachi talks about in His fiery book of prophecy!

When Will Jesus Return?

A question that plagues the end-time-enthusiast is: when will Jesus return? As we will see, that question is not only wrong-headed but misses the essential point Jesus is getting at when speaking about His return. Join us as we consider when Jesus will return and how Jesus will return in today’s article.

When Does “The End” Begin?

Perhaps the most important question about the end times is when do they begin? If they are entirely or predominantly future, then most if not all of the end times passages have yet to be accomplished and are still awaiting a future fulfillment. But what if that view is wrong? What if the Bible actually says something different? Would you have the courage to reevaluate and change your position in light of clear evidence? That is the challenge today as we look at when the Bible says the end times began.

Dear Mrs So and So,

How would you respond, if someone challenged you on the topic of abortion? Is the child in the womb a collection of cells? Merely the product of conception? Or is that child no less than human life, endowed with dignity and value, worthy of our best defense and protection? Below is my response to just such a question.

Dangerous Families

Satan is winning in our culture for two reasons. First, he has successfully attacked and dismantled the family. And second, Christians have forgotten how to prioritize and fight back with dangerous families. Join us as we explore this topic together!

End Times Fiction:

do not waste your life terrified and perplexed about the news of our day, straining your eyes for secret fulfillments of prophecy, afraid that someone will persecute you, worried that you will be left behind. Spend your days serving Christ. Use your talents well. Don’t bury them in the sands of eschatological fear and speculation. Run the race that Jesus has given you to run, and stop letting internet charlatans whip you up into an end times frenzy.

Act Like Men (Part 1 of Biblical Manhood Series)

The PRODCAST will dedicate the next 6 episodes to Godly masculinity. It is our contention that when men are healthy, masculine, and Biblical, that families, societies, and the planet will flourish. Ultimately, our example of godly manhood is Christ, which means we will be looking to Him and His Word to find out how we can be as men. Join us as we explore what it means to Act Like Men this week!

Reorientation of Praise

The default mode of the human heart is to worship anything and everything but it's creator, God. Today we will tackle self-love, which the Bible calls boasting, and we will see how it is a particularly odious sin that robs us from being able to know God! Once we know that, we can repent, return, and reorient our praise back to the only one to whom it is rightly owed. Join us as we explore these things together.

Banning Conversion?

Recently, our maple loving neighbors to the north, signed into law one of the most radical pro LGBTQ+ bills ever recorded, signing into law a bill that bans conversion therapy. This topic is certainly complicated, but it becomes especially concerning when you consider that the language of the bill is intentionally vague, and will likely apply to all kinds of people, pastors and Christians included. Some, like John MacArthur, are even concerned that ministers of the Gospel will be arrested for bills like this, which is why I wanted to take a moment for us to understand it, know how it applies to us, and as always, I want us to be encouraged with Scripture! Welcome to the PRODCAST!
