More than any technology, philosophy, or religion, fear is the devil’s most powerful weapon against light and truth. The Lord leads by truth that sets people free to follow it. So, if we are led by fear, we are following the devil and not being led by the Lord. Following the Lord requires us to...

Almost every new technology has been responded to with wild warnings about how it was the antichrist or, at least, its pathway to power. Even those who were not educated enough in the Scriptures to know what the antichrist is considered these new technologies to be the doom of civilization and...

There can be a difference between believing a doctrine—even having a deep, accurate understanding of it—and living it. The ultimate goal of seeking truth must be to live what we believe. As we have covered, Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We begin by knowing Him as the Way. We mature as...

A few years ago, a popular program host sent his staff to interview graduate students at some of our top-ranked universities in the U.S. The first question the grad students were asked was if they were socialists.

Then, we need to consider how we all have the same heavenly Father, yet every human being is so different!...

To be the dwelling place of God is our highest calling. For us to stay on point, our main focus must not be on who we are called to be but on who He is and how we conform to His image. We are changed by beholding His glory, not our own. We need to know our calling and be devoted to it, but our main...

Buildings and programs are not the temple of the Lord; His people are. We don’t go to church; we are the church 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our structures and organizations will never be a substitute for what He called His church to be. Only His people can be this church. As we have covered...
