I recently just finished reading the Torah, Joshua, and the book of Judges in about 20 days. It’s been a whirlwind reading the history of Israel so quickly, but it also has helped me see even more clearly than ever how quickly these people of God plummet into disobedience, deception, and distrust in the Lord…
This third post concerns the third novel Lewis wrote about Narnia, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. In this third story, Lewis vividly illustrates temptation, perseverance, and trusting God in the Christian faith. For those who are wanting to see a sort of table of contents, here are the ten insights from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The first three concern pride, as Lewis illustrates it so well in the character of Eustace…
In history, three days after he died on the cross, Jesus of Nazareth rose from his grave. We must stress the historical fact that this truly did happen, just as with his life and his cross. If you could go back around 2,000 years, you could watch Jesus of Nazareth die on a Roman cross and you could see him on Sunday alive again…
This is the second post in a series concerning The Chronicles of Narnia novels. Since I am reading C.S. Lewis’ major non-fiction works this year, I have also decided to read the Narnia series. As I do so, I am not only enjoying the captivating dramas, but I also know that C.S. Lewis was (and is) a brilliant mind who illustrated wonderful gospel truths within the stories. These posts then will not mainly be reviews or summaries of the novels, but rather insights about the gospel, God, us, and Jesus I gleaned while in Narnia…
One of my favorite miracles of Jesus is one that isn’t talked about too much. It probably is less famous because of how short it is; or because it only occurs in one of the Gospel accounts; or especially because it doesn’t directly impact anyone who is suffering or sick, like so many of Jesus’ miracles wonderfully do. But the reason I love it so much is because of what it shows us about Jesus himself…

The other day I was looking through Spotify for different versions of the Christmas song “O Holy Night.” It is one of my favorite songs of the season because I love that high and beautiful note at the end (“O night, divine…”). I was exploring for more recordings to hear different artists sing the song and belt the note…
*Article originally published on Desiring God. “We walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). In the current technological world, these famous words by the apostle Paul are becoming increasingly difficult to follow. Sight has always been one of humanity’s primary senses. But now, in the age of colorful screens constantly vying for our attention, it is becoming tougher and tougher to trust in what we cannot see and walk by faith. It is a battle we each fight every day…
Jerram Barrs, in his book Shepherds & Sheep (which sadly doesn’t appear to be in print anymore!), explains how the Holy Spirit and the Word of God relate in the New Testament. These insights are very helpful as I think this is a frequent issue today. He sets up the issue by writing…
Corrie Ten Boom, in her book Amazing Love, encourages Christians to remember that Jesus not only lived and died for us 2,000 years ago, but that he currently is still for us…
