When the term Reformed theology is used, it often refers to something less historical. Often it refers to a theology that acknowledges the doctrine of predestination and holds to a high view of the Bible as God’s inerrant Word. Sometimes it is also identified with the so-called five points of Calvinism: total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace, and the perseverance of the saints.

Send us Fan Mail This is a Spotlight on the Scriptures: Ecclesiastes 1:2-3 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun? “Everything is vanity,” the preacher cries. “Everything is empty. Everything is meaningless”—but only when seen through human eyes. That’s the cry from under the sun. And don’t miss that phrase—it’s the key to the whole lament. Because under the sun is where we hustle...

And when he got to the pearly gates, Saint Peter was standing there like a holy usher. The man said, “Peter, I’ve got one question. What’s the value system up here? How do things work in heaven?” Peter smiled and said, “Well son, up here… a minute is worth a million years.” The man’s eyes got wide. “A million years? Whoa!

He’s not warning you against mountains and rivers, against springtime blossoms or autumn leaves, against the golds and reds that paint the trees before winter settles in.

Send us Fan Mail A Spotlight on the Scriptures: Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Most ancient stories start with chaos. Conflict. A cosmic brawl between good and evil. And out of that mess—accidentally, incidentally—comes the earth. A leftover. A by-product. And the so-called gods? They didn’t create. No, they rearranged. They reshaped. They worked with what was already there. Clay in their hands, but no breath in their lungs. No power to speak a thin...

It’s not natural to the flesh. It’s supernatural! It’s a sign that something divine is alive inside of you. Dead folk don’t get hungry. Spiritually dead folk don’t crave holiness. But if you’re hungering—if you’re thirsting—if you’re yearni...

It is not a tune‑up. It is not self‑improvement. It is resurrection—God imparting spiritual life to someone who was spiritually dead. A sovereign act of God: Nobody can regenerate themselves.

Prayer is heaven’s hotline. It’s not just a ritual—it’s a relationship. It’s not just a whisper—it’s a weapon. Prayer is how earth touches heaven and heaven touches earth.

The author argues that God’s choice to save individuals is based entirely on His independent will and authority rather than human effort, merit, or future actions. By examining the lives of figures like Jacob, Esau, and Pharaoh, the source illustrates that God is just both when He extends unmerited grace and when He executes righteous judgment. Th...

Send us Fan Mail The trouble in the Corinthian church didn’t just come from the outside world—it was rising up from the inside. Yes, the culture around them was pressing in, but the flesh within them was giving way. Worldly pressure met human weakness, and the result was a church wrestling with its own carnality. Paul says these believers were no longer “natural,” but they weren’t truly “spiritual” either. They weren’t walking under the full control of the Holy Spirit. Instead, they were carn...

There are two trees bearing two kinds of fruit (Matt. 7:17–20). There are two groups standing before Him in judgment (Matt. 7:21–23). And there are two builders, raising houses on two very different foundations (Matt. 7:24–28). In other words, Christ draws a line so bold, so bright, so unmistakable that nobo...
