  • Why can’t I be more like (insert name here)? (John 21:20-25)

    Why do we define success according to the accomplishments of others? The human condition is such that we ask ourselves questions like: “Why am I not as popular as (insert name here)? I know I have more talent.” “Why didn’t I think of that, or have that idea first?” “That person is not a very…

  • Crucifying Christ Again? John 19:1-16

    We live in a day and age where many of those who are not believers revere Christ more than many Christians do. Many will attend a worship service during the week, then go home deny Christ by committing acts that are both sinful and despicable in the Lord’s sight. Many will read their Bibles on…

  • Is There Joy? (John 16:16-24)

                Joy is evasive, even for the believer. In a contemporary culture, amidst the skepticism and the violence and the critical nature of the human individual, joy is scarcely attainable. We live in a society that is riddled with depression and anger and discontent, yet we long for joy. In scripture, we are told that…

  • A Life Wasted

                In 1995, a young man named Iqbal Masih received a gunshot wound to the head and died. “Iqbal was a forced child labourer in Pakistan. He was able to escape and began campaigning against child labour and for the right for children to receive education. After escaping a second time, he joined [the] Bonded…

  • Is Jesus the Messiah? ( John 1:38-51)

                In 2013, there was an event held in which two atheist scholars posited that Jesus of Nazareth did not exist within history and that the entire Christian religion was a ruse designed by the Roman government in order to control the Jewish people. While this is a stretch concerning what we know of the…

  • Are Actions Really That Important? (3 John 11)

                Who are we? This question rings out from the whole of humanity as each man and woman works to discover his or her identity in a chaotic world. When we are children, we are carefree and trusting and we seem to encounter none of life’s crises. When we are older, many of us look…

  • You Are Worth More Than You Know (Romans 8:29-30)

                I want to describe for you a struggle that I have in life. I know that I do not deserve the things that I have been given and I know that I am not worth much in the grand scheme of things. When I look in the mirror, I see a human being; one…

  • Do you ever have trouble figuring out what God wants from you?

                This question is one that seems to haunt everyone I know who has a relationship with Christ. Of course, following Christ means that we do what He leads us to do. Sometimes, though, it is difficult to know exactly what God wants in any given situation or even concerning…

  • Is Morality Important Anyway? (Romans 8:12-17)

                Is morality important for the Christian? Is it important for humanity in general? Across the planet, people measure morality by different standards and accept different actions as morally right or wrong. For instance, I have spoken to Californians and New Yorkers who see the ownership of firearms as morally questionable…
