Speak the Word
One of the benefits of writing published material is that it forces the author to think much more systematically and deeply about his subject that he might otherwise. Over my years of ministry here it has been a great blessing to have some time for writing and many of you know that I am working on my third book on the topic of covenant and children.…
From J.I. Packer’s, Knowing God,
Chapter 20, “Thou Our Guide”
Earnest Christians seeking guidance often go wrong about it. Why is this? Often the reason is that their notion of the nature and method of divine guidance is distorted. They look for a will-o’-the-wisp; they overlook the guidance that is ready to hand, and lay themselves open to all sorts of delusions.…
The figure of Benaiah is among my very favorites in all of Scripture. From a Levitical lineage ( 1 Chron 27:5-6, 12:23), he would have known how to use a knife to slay a sacrifical animal, and as one of David’s mightiest men he knew how to slay God’s enemies.…
Recently, there has been some public debate about eternal punishment in hell over and against the idea of annihilationism. This has stemmed from a recent podcast in which Kirk Cameron affirms that eternal conscious torment seems to him to not fit with God’s gracious and loving character.…
Recently, Mark Naylor, a friend, missionary, and bible translator, wrote the first of a series of articles on a hermeneutic (a way of reading Scripture) that “allows for the affirmation of women in leadership.” Naylor is influential in Fellowship circles and holds roles both at Northwest College & Seminary and at Fellowship International.…

The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.…
At the 2025 NWCC Men’s Conference, I spoke on five ways to successfully fight sexual temptation. I offer them in a summary form here.
Form Holy Habits Through Scripture (Psa 119:9-11)
“How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.…
Sunday morning, we noted the connections between the Exodus and the book of Joshua. Among them was the circumcision of the nation in Joshua 5:1-2-9 and how it is an echo of several aspects of circumcision connected to the Exodus, one of which is the circumcision which Moses’ wife Keturah performs that ends up saving, it would seem, Moses’ own life (Exo 4:24-31).…
Recently, digital ID has one again been making waves in the world, especially in the UK, where Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently stated that digital ID will be necessary to work there. Digital ID is rightfully considered a monumental issue of freedom and Christians everywhere ought to vigorously contend against it.…
Friday evening, I shared the story of the great bishop of American Methodism, Francis Asbury. Asbury was one of the most successful evangelists the Western world has ever known. Coming from England in 1771, during the early days of the American colonies, he spent his life on horseback, taking the gospel to a rural population spread throughout a region the size of continental Europe.…
