The Nature of LiarsAfter making some rather provocative statements, Jesus asked His disciples if they would turn from Him. Afterall, many in the crowd did. It was Peter who answered, “To whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life!” Decades after that moment, Peter writes his second letter to believers, warning them about the dangers of listening to false teachers, teachers leading men an...

In school you may have read the famous epic poem called The Illiad. In it, Homer tells of a brilliant ploy the Greeks used to break into the enemy city of Troy. They sent a gift to the Trojans, a massive wooden horse. But the gift was the downfall of the Trojans, for inside the horse, the Greek soldiers hid. The Trojans opened themselves up to the enemy, falling for this great deception. Our enemy...

Mark Twain once said that the trouble with the world is not that people know too little, it is that they know so many things that just aren’t so. There is a barrage of opinions available to us. Plenty of voices claiming to have the answers. Where is your truth coming from? We want to know truth. We crave a higher purpose and an ultimate good- that’s part of being made in the image of God. Thankful...

Plenty of people claim to have answers and solutions to our problems. Opinions are abundant wherever we look. But the Bible is different. It is, as D. Helm put it, the true and authoritative story of God as He enters human history. Biblical faith, far from being man-made, is a response to God’s self-disclosure. He has turned on the light for us through His Word. Scripture is reliable and trustwort...
