I have decided to devote this entire piece to the false “Social Justice Gospel.”

When I think of heretical teachings in our churches, the Social Justice Gospel is by far the most dangerous to true Christianity.  The majority of people who are attracted to this heresy are young and...

In this episode, I rant about the event of the resurrection, how we know it happened, what it means, and how we should defend it. I return to criticize Frank Turek and Andy Stanley’s ideas as toxic and to be avoided at all costs.

Every year around this time the mainstream media and various cable networks would feature things about Jesus and/or the Bible that often is inaccurate and deeply problematic.  This include this year’s History Channel featured series called “Jesus: His Life.”

What follows below...

Joy is different from happiness.  Did you know that?

Happiness is dependent upon what is “happening.”  It can come and go.  I’ve known people who are not happy unless they have something planned  – something to look forward to.

JOY is only found in the Lord...

Church of the Rock did Easter Joy Story for their Easter 2019 service. An adaptation of the movie franchise Toy Story.

Churches do these things because they don’t think the preached word is enough. They think God needs the assistance of manmade tricks and gimmicks. Scripture says the...

Although I went to church today, I thought I would post Andy Stanley’s Easter sermon for those who didn’t go. I listened to this sermon, and I think it’s excellent.

The sermon was about 1 Corinthias 15:3-7, which is an early eyewitness creed...

A Word from Bob:I’ve taken today’s blog post from my 31-day devotional,Grief: Walking with Jesus. 

“Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?’ Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, ‘Sir, if you have carried him away,...

On Easter, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. That much is clear. What is not clear to many people, however, is what the resurrection means to Christians and why we would make such a big deal of it.

The resurrection only makes sense if we first understand what the Christian...

It is the greatest and truest news in all the world:

Jesus is risen!

This is how his followers felt and we should still feel today.

As we sat in the sanctuary on Passion Sunday, my daughter of seven asked me again what was the meaning of all the purple shrouds about the altar. Why would we cover everything that was most beautiful? "What am I supposed to look at?" It was one of those penetrating questions children ask, simple...

1. The Resurrection Could Be Eclipsed by the Prominence of the Cross

The cross is the basis by which we can be forgiven. Our penalty was placed on Jesus; there our debt was discharged. Because the cross is literally crucial, it sometimes overshadows the...

Every few weeks I like to share an example of one of our worship services from Grace Fellowship Church. I do this simply to provide an example of how one church structures our time of worship, hoping it will prove a helpful resource to others.

One of my favorite hymns celebrating the resurrection of Christ from the grave is “Low in the grave he lay” (also known in many hymn books as “He Arose”) by Robert Lowry, a 19th-century preacher and hymn writer. Apparently, he wrote this beautiful hymn at his organ rather...

In this brief clip from his series What Did Jesus Do?, R.C. Sproul explains that the resurrection of Christ is at the very heart of the Christian faith.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! 

In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept...

Here is the watershed of human history where the misery of the race is transformed into grandeur. Here the kerygma, the proclamation of the early church, was born with the cry "He is risen." We can view this event as a symbol, a lovely tale of hope. We can reduce it to a moralism that declares, as...

Let us pray for Sri Lanka.  According to the news:

Six nearly simultaneous explosions struck three churches and three hotels frequented by tourists on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka,

The targets include hotels and churches.

Back in April of 2008, I was a PhD student in the beginning stages of my dissertation work, I was engaged to be married in a month to a beautiful woman from Ohio, and there were a bunch of black-suit-clad KJV-Only protesters out in front of my school, Bob Jones University.

One of them held a sign...

"Who is even at the right hand of God."-- Romans 8:34

He who was once despised and rejected of men, now occupies the honourable position of a beloved and honoured Son. The right hand of God is the place of majesty and favour. Our Lord Jesus is his people's representative. When he died for them, they...

O Jesus, Savior of my life, My hope, my joy, my sacrifice, I’ve searched and found no other one Who loves me more than you have done.

There is almost no more exciting biblical-theological truth with which we can occupy our minds as we come to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday as that which we find in the Gospel of John about the Angels inside the empty tomb. What transpired on that first day of the week on...
