We are living in an age of information saturation. Saturation seems an apt descriptor because it means we’re enduring media in a manner described by one dictionary as: “to a very full extent, especially beyond the point regarded as necessary or desirable.” The nature of calamity and strife invites people to want saturation from the…
Heresy is the term used to describe a doctrine contrary to Biblical truth. From its infancy, Christ’s church has needed to fight against a myriad of heresies emanating from the supernatural and human enemies of God. Church history shows the avenues of heretical assault have generally come from within three doctrinal categories: the person and…
As we continue to watch in amazement at our descending American culture and its unhappy byproducts—ever-widening divisions, and ever-deepening acrimony in the public square—we Christians sense coming persecution. We hear and read of crazy assaults on basic freedoms to speak, or to parent our children, or to receive health care, and these shocking scenarios on…

The New Testament Epistles are replete with warnings about false…

In May and June of 1940, German armored units made a surprise push through the Ardennes, and then along the Somme valley, cutting off and surrounding the Allied units that had advanced into Belgium to meet the expected German invasion.
