One of the best ways you can refresh your soul is by reading an excellent book. Read more

As we begin our 2016 Challenge, we start by reading the first 5 chapters of Matthew. This comes on the coattails of Christmas, which makes these passage very familiar. Thus we pray the following post will be a timely encouragement.
The danger of a familiar text is often unspoken of, but it is very real. Familiarity with a story or text of Scripture can cause us to gloss over a passage because we’ve read or heard it before. So how do we overcome this temptation? The answer is to slow down and question the familiar. Read more

As part of our 2016 Challenge, we were tasked with reading Matthew 1 today. While it is an incredible passage to read, it can be intimidating to apply. Genealogies can be confusing and we can be tempted to skip over them.

The Bible is probably one of the most undervalued books in all of America! It is a treasure hidden on the shelves of millions, collecting countless dust bunnies, and all because most don’t realize its value. I pray the masses would find this treasure and in their joy sacrifice everything to know, cherish, and practice it. I believe Kevin DeYoung’s latest book, Taking God At His Word, will be a tool used by God to accomplish this task. He portrays the Bible in a way that warms your affections, inspires your devotion, and corrects your priorities. Read more
