The Bible in 2020

Can believers make a positive impact on culture without being consumed by it? How can we avoid the dangers and find the balance?

False prophets and deceptive teachers are everywhere now and always. But do you know why so many follow them? Do you know how to protect yourself from them?

What should we do to prepare for the future? Scripture is clear. Know God’s Word well and you will be ready to complete whatever assignment God has for you.

In Jesus Christ there is sure salvation. Why? Because those of us whom He saves do not depend on our own merits. Rather, He is our righteousness.

Obedience to God does not prevent all suffering. Two godly men were unjustly imprisoned, and Jesus calls His disciples to take up their cross and follow Him.

God rules over all things, including us. He promises blessings as we flee idols and honor and submit to Him willing. If not, great suffering will be ours.

When God is ignored or rejected, the vacuum left is filled with something else, something which usurps the glory due to Him.

When we neglect the Word of God and the Scriptures are not taught or not heeded or both, evil feels normal and people stand under God’s judgment.

Local churches need leaders but what do those leaders need? Here we find a clear answer from the Apostle Paul and a vivid example from the Prophet Jeremiah.

Sin causes pain and death, but the sinless Lord Jesus Christ’s pain and death resulted in a full and final cure for the iniquity of His people.

The one whose conscience no longer functions is not content to merely destroy himself, but he seeks to bring down others with him.

God is working out a plan to redeem His elect people from all the nations of the earth. It will succeed. Do you know your part in this grand plan?

In God, we see our lives are not a result of random molecules coming together, but we are chosen by Him and for Him. We have meaning and purpose.

God needs nothing from us. Everything we have comes from Him and belongs to Him. But there is something He wants from us. Does He find it in you?

Christians, beware! Although our relationship with God is secure, we can act in ways that seriously jeopardize our fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

Sin is what blocks us from seeing and hearing God. He calls us to holiness, but we disobey especially in the area of sexual purity and love toward others.

The Christian rests in his relationship to God through Christ and finds comfort when the spiritual state of those he loves distresses him.

Will the gospel win the victory? God’s word--though ignored, thwarted, ridiculed, and opposed--will always triumph. He guarantees it.

How far does salvation extend? God saves people completely and He saves them everywhere--from every tribe and tongue and nation to the ends of the earth.

Believers are under surveillance, and they are called to live so that neither their lifestyle nor their speech enable disbelief by others.

At the end of this age, God wins. Each of us must decide today. Do we take Him as our God or substitute something else, something earthly?

Do you feel incomplete in yourself? We should, because God’s full deity is in Christ and only in Him are we complete having all we could ever need.

Ultimately, nothing is going wrong, because Jesus Christ is the Redeemer of all things, including us who believe in Him. His will is being done perfectly.

Why does it seem everything is going wrong? We will never find the solution to our problems, until we find the cause of them.

The only path to acceptance before God is the way of the Savior, Jesus Christ, who alone can make us righteous. Flee from any confidence in your flesh.

What is life about? The Bible tells us there is coming a day of judgment. Every knee will bow before God and recognize Him. Life is about Him--not us.

The ultimate aim of the Christian is to bear the fruit of righteousness that comes from God and brings Him glory and praise. Our destiny is Zion.

God hates hypocrisy whether done in the name of religion or done in the workplace. We ought to be alert to its presence and repent of it promptly.

God’s people are called to walk in holiness and bear fruit that glorifies Him. By His grace and the power of His Spirit we can spiritually multi-task.

Though we live in a time of corruption and conflict, God's grand narrative for His people comforts us and assures us. He will complete it with certainty.

God’s purposes include all nations, all peoples, and all times and result in the exaltation of Jesus Christ as Lord of all.
