Two times a year, the world talks about Jesus—Easter and Christmas—but the truth about remembering Him is not found in tradition. It is revealed in His word.

To misunderstand how and when we honor Christ is to...

Many people have ideas about what God is like, but the truth is not found in human opinion—it is revealed in His word.

Instead of changing God’s doctrine or the practices He has revealed, we are called to fol...

And in 2026, the question isn’t just what are we fighting? It’s who is responsible? Romans 13:14 says, “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.” The b...
