No, contemporarianism is not a real word. Yes, it did have a red line underneath it, and yes, it is applicable to your spiritual life. Contemporarianism is defined by the International Brady Encyclopedia, as “the state in which one becomes discriminatory against those of their own generation.” The Pharisees had it, when Jesus proclaimed to …

It’s a foregone conclusion that everyone reading this article right now has sinned before in their life (Rom. 3:23). It’s also more than likely a foregone conclusion that one of those sins was something that you were ashamed of (Gen. 3:8-13). And probably, if I’m judging with correct motives here, we’ve all tried to hide …

I’ve always been impressed with the strength that our fathers had in the Old Testament to push on and move past people and events.

In today’s world, mankind is obsessed with a “live and let live” philosophy: if you don’t bother me, I won’t bother you. Gone are the times when living in sin produced a reprimand, because, after all, you “don’t know the circumstances” or “you don’t have a right to tell me what to do.” Instead of …

Of all the psalms we can come across throughout our reading of the Scriptures, there are probably none more beloved than Psalm 23. It is revered and honored by both Jews and Christians, not including the ability we all have to identify at least 35 people that have it cross-stitched and put on their wall. …

There’s a song that we sing in our songbook, with the not-so-subtle title of “Praise Him! Praise Him!” There’s no question what the basis of that song is about, but if there were, the chorus would clear it up in less than 20 words: Praise Him! Praise Him! Tell of excellent greatness!

Several weeks ago, a video surfaced of Victoria Osteen, wife of the famous Lakewood “church” “pastor” Joel Osteen, delivering a message to their “congregation” of almost 30,000.
