Since 2020, there have been a stream of professing Christians who have walked away from the church, some publicly.

Psalm 92 tells us that the “righteous still bear fruit in old age.” Caleb, at the age of 85, continued to take new territory.

Proverbs 4:23 tells us to “Watch over our heart with all diligence, for from it flows the springs of life.” Our Google-ized culture prizes knowledge and education; if God’s truth doesn’t radically change the core beliefs of the heart  we become little more than the clanging gongs of 1 Cor 13. Knowing Scripture isn’t enough; it’s critical that we receive and beli...
