When Familiarity Makes Us Miss Jesus

“Is this not the carpenter… So they were offended at Him.” — Mark 6:3 Jesus came home to Nazareth in Mark 6. He walked into the synagogue where He had grown up, opened the Scriptures, and taught.

President Trump will likely press on with a firm stance to end the bloodshed, urging Ukraine by mid-2025 to seek peace with Russia—perhaps yielding […]

An Exhortation to the Young Men

Dear young men in Christ, I implore you to examine your priorities. If the philosophies of Jordan Peterson, the entrepreneurial spirit of Elon Musk, and the musings of Joe Rogan, or some celebrity pastor carry more weight in shaping your worldview than the divinely inspired writings of the Apostle Paul, Peter, and the other New Testament authors, then I urge you to reassess and recalibrate […]
