Few truths in the New Testament are more breathtaking, or more neglected, than the Christian’s identity as a coheir with Christ. The apostle Paul writes in Romans 8:17 “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we mayContinue reading “Coheirs with Christ: The Staggering Privilege of Belonging to the Son”

Heaven, Earth Made New, and the Glory of Christ: Correcting Our Vision of Eternity
Few subjects stir both hope and confusion among Christians quite like heaven. We sing of it, long for it, and comfort one another with its promise, yet our understanding is often shaped as much by imagination, sentiment, or popular culture as by Scripture. As a result, many believers unknowingly carry misconceptions that, while sincere, canContinue reading “Heaven, Earth Made New, and the Glory of Christ: Correcting Our Vision of Eternity”
Where Was Jesus Between the Cross and the Resurrection? Why Jesus Didn’t Need to Go to Hell
There are few questions in Christian theology that generate as much confusion and curiosity as this one: Did Jesus go to hell between His death and resurrection? For many, the idea seems familiar, sometimes even assumed. Some people may recall the phrase “He descended into hell” from the Apostles’ Creed, depending on their liturgical background. OthersContinue reading “Where Was Jesus Between the Cross and the Resurrection? Why Jesus Didn’t Need to Go to Hell”
Why God’s People Must Read God’s Word, Not Paraphrases
There is something profoundly simple, and yet profoundly neglected, at the heart of the Christian life – God speaks, and his people listen. From the opening pages of Scripture to the life of the church in the New Testament, the people of God have always been marked by their relationship to the Word of God. WeContinue reading “Why God’s People Must Read God’s Word, Not Paraphrases”
Saturday Snippets (April 4)
As well as reading a lot of books, I also read a ton of articles every week. Here are some of the articles that I’ve read recently and have found interesting, helpful, challenging and encouraging. I hope that they will be the same for you, my dear readers…
The Manosphere and the Way of Christ: Why “Alpha Masculinity” Falls Short of Biblical Manhood
In recent years, a loosely connected set of online voices, often referred to as the ‘manosphere’, has gained significant influence, especially among young men. Through podcasts, social media, and viral clips, these men promote a vision of masculinity built on dominance, control, sexual conquest, financial success, and personal power. While the messaging varies from person toContinue reading “The Manosphere and the Way of Christ: Why “Alpha Masculinity” Falls Short of Biblical Manhood”
Learning to Weep Before God
There was a time in my life when the language of the Christian faith felt painful. I knew the right answers. I could preach the gospel clearly. I said that I believed every word of Scripture. And yet, in the quiet hours of the night, when the darkness pressed in and my own mind turnedContinue reading “Learning to Weep Before God”
Overcoming Comparison: Finding Christ-Centered Contentment
It has never been easier to compare our lives with others. With a few swipes of a screen we can peer into the homes, holidays, achievements, ministries, bodies, wardrobes, and successes of countless people. Whether through social media, advertising, or the subtle pressures of modern life, we are constantly told that what we have isContinue reading “Overcoming Comparison: Finding Christ-Centered Contentment”
Disagreeing Well: Unity Without Uniformity
In an age shaped by hot takes, comment threads, and quick exits, we have forgotten how to disagree well. Too often, disagreement is treated as disloyalty. Someone else’s view is no longer just another view, instead it becomes a threat. A secondary issue becomes a dividing wall, and before long, distance replaces dialogue. But healthyContinue reading “Disagreeing Well: Unity Without Uniformity”
The Loving Severity of Christ: Why Church Discipline Still Matters
Church discipline is rarely the subject of conference banners or popular podcasts. It feels awkward, heavy, and (if we are honest) it can feel dangerous. In a culture that seems to be growing more suspicious of authority and is allergic to judgement, the very phrase ‘church discipline’ can sound harsh. Yet when we turn toContinue reading “The Loving Severity of Christ: Why Church Discipline Still Matters”
