There’s a popular Christian song (You Say by Lauren Daigle) that has broken records for its time at number one on the charts. The lyrics speak of fighting voices that say “I’m not enough,” of lies that tell us we’ll “never measure up,” and of finding our worth and identity[…]
The debate over Christmas has raged for centuries. Was Jesus really born on December 25th? Is celebrating this date participating in paganism? Should believers avoid this time of year altogether?

Matthew’s article comes with a history of back-and-forth discussion. This article examines three key documents that frame an[…]
There’s something deeply counterintuitive about the Christian life. We’re told we have liberty, yet we’re called to serve (Gal. 5:13). We’re free from the law, yet we fulfill its deepest requirements (Gal. .5:14). We possess the Spirit, yet we battle the flesh daily (Gal. 5:15-16). How do we make sense[…]
