Two years ago, we returned to live in America, and I was interviewed on a national radio show which included a phone-in Q&A session. The producer said before my interview, “Becky, I know you and your husband have done evangelism ministry all over the world, and that recently you have lived and ministered in Europe. […]

How Your Treasures Control the Desires of Your Heart by Adam Miller
Read: Matthew 5-7 Do you want to be more like Christ? The question seems pretty straightforward. I’m sure you would answer, “Yes!” But if we are honest, we have to admit that we struggle with our sanctification. Sure, you want to be better witnesses, but when is the last time you actually shared your faith? […]
Follow Me, And I Will Make You Fishers of Men by Dr. Larry Moyer
Read: Matthew 4:18-22 Acknowledging Christ as Savior means coming to Him as a sinner, recognizing He took my punishment on a cross, and trusting Him alone as my only way to heaven. Discipleship is a growing experience in which I surrender myself to His will, walk in obedience to Him, and allow Him to use […]
Answering Critical Questions: Why Did Jesus Fast for 40 Days by Micah Lovell
Read: Matthew 4:1-11 The number 40 is used frequently in biblical narratives, especially in the Old Testament. In Genesis 7, the rains fall on the earth for 40 days and nights while Noah and his family wait within the ark. In the book of Jonah, the prophet, fresh from his own deliverance from the belly […]
The People Dwelling in Darkness Have Seen A Great Light by Adam Miller
Read: Matthew 4:12-17 During my first trip to Israel, I was able to visit the mountains of the Golan Heights surrounding Galilee. I was standing on the top of one of the highest points, looking down into the United Nations’ Demilitarized Zone when I heard what sounded like thunder. I was excited at first. I […]
Moving Biblical Characters Off the Felt Board by Nancy Guthrie
Return as an Adult with New Eyes If you’re like me and you grew up going to Sunday school, how we understand so many of the people that we read about in the Bible can, in some ways, be stuck to what I would call the “felt board of our minds.” Our understanding of who […]
Hindsight is 2020: Moving Ahead from A Difficult Year by Adam Miller
I think C.S. Lewis captured our collective sentiment quite well when he wrote his first installment of The Chronicles of Narnia, “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.” As the four Pevensie children found themselves in a magical winter wonderland, there was one hitch: it was always winter, but never Christmas. I love winter. I […]
The Steadfast Love of the Lord Never Ceases by Micah Lovell
As all eyes turn toward the changing seasons, the colder temperatures, the shorter days and longer nights, an inevitable feeling of gloom comes upon me. The day we “Fall Back” is possibly my least favorite calendar day of the year. Carrying a step ladder around my house, I sigh as I step up to reach […]
I’ve Given Up, and So Should You – Adam Miller
This year has been difficult and I’m ready to throw in the towel. Now, I enjoy a good challenge from time to time, but some hardships are too much to handle and can’t be fixed. The more I try, the more frustrating it gets. However, I have to admit that I was ready to give […]
The Intrinsic Glory of God by Dr. Steven Lawson
When we speak of God’s glory, we mean, first, what has been called His ‘intrinsic glory,” which is the sum total of the greatness of His divine being. It is all that God is, the whole of all of His attributes. In this sense, we do not give God glory. We cannot add to His […]
Will the Church Be On the Right Side of History? by Adam Miller
Statistics show that the Church in the West is in decline. European nations are quickly becoming unreached people groups. New England is already being labeled post-Christian, and the rest of the United States is following in a downward trajectory. Furthermore, Christians are being singled out as the problem in our society. Our views on morality […]
In Christ, You Are A New Creation by Adam Miller
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” II Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) The very first words of the Bible show the God who created all things. The rest of Scripture echoes this truth by reiterating that you are fearfully and wonderfully made […]
