Jake MailhotIn the midst of a cacophony of noise, finding true soul rest is nearly impossible. With so many responsibilities and distractions vying for our attention, too many of us have built unhealthy cycles of rest. As a result, we burn ourselves out...

Guest AuthorWhy does apologetics matter? In this guest post, Bobby Conway, pastor of Life Fellowship Church and author of The One Minute Apologist, answers that question—and why the need for apologetics has never been greater. *** Like most people, the first...
Didaktikosby Kevin J. Vanhoozer | Trinity Evangelical Divinity School There’s a word for describing the latest cultural fad of bringing back styles, fashions, or designs from the recent past: “retro.” Vinyl records are popular once again despite the superior...
Matthew Boffey“Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is a classic hymn believers have been singing for almost 100 years. But that doesn’t mean it can’t get a new chorus. The band One Sonic Society, comprised of producers and songwriters Paul Mabury and Jason Ingram, have...
It can be fun to flip through an old magazine and laugh at the outdated scientific predictions, bizarre health advice, and absurd trends long forgotten by history. But it’s a different experience with a magazine like Christianity Today. Open any...
Michael S. HeiserMany people can recite John 3:16, but how many know what John 3:14–15 says? Jesus’ words in these two verses have generated confusion and controversy: “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that...
With his breakout song “This Is Amazing Grace,” Phil Wickham emerged as not just a great worship music artist, but also a writer for congregational singing. “Living Hope,” released this March, is another song well-suited for church services. Written...

Brill volumes have a special place in my heart. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing as bound physical monographs, with utmost attention to detail in their craftsmanship of cloth-bound covers and gold-letter embossing, but the aesthetics also...
The Bible is the basis for our faith. It reveals our Savior (2 Tim 3:16), is how we know and believe (Rom 10:17), keeps us from sin (Ps 119:11), works powerfully (Heb 4:12), and gives life (Matt 4:4). As such, it holds a central place in our worship...
In one of the more enigmatic verses in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus tells his disciples, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” (Luke 10:18). The question isn’t about the “what” of Jesus’ statement. It’s clear that Satan is under judgment...

The Apostles’ Creed has united Christians from different times, places, and traditions. It proclaims eternal truths for life today. Christians believe them, recite them, and build their life on them. But do they understand these truths? What do...
Christian apologetics is often a difficult subject to tackle. Most books are directed toward Christians, helping them develop an apologetic method. But this approach ignores one of the most important aspects of apologetics: the audience. In his new...
I’m in the middle of a series of posts on learning Greek, and each time I write I find myself wanting to start by holding up a warning sign. Here’s the last one, I promise (sort of): “Greek is not math.” The first thing you need to know about New...
by Hans Madueme | Covenant College Extraterrestrial life is standard fare in science-fiction literature. Michel Faber’s The Book of Strange New Things is a fine example, a tale about a Christian missionary who journeys to another planet in order...
Why another song about God’s faithfulness? Don’t we have enough? No, because God’s faithfulness goes on forever. The psalmist David says it stretches to the skies (Ps. 108:4). It is inexhaustible. And good thing it is, because we need...
There is no truly original theology. Piper reads Edwards. Edwards read Calvin. Calvin read Augustine. And Augustine read the early church fathers who read the apostles who read the prophets. If you’re a student of Scripture, you’re in a school...
It’s a question many worship leaders grapple with. You want to lead new worship songs, but you don’t want to be singing them by yourself. How often do you teach your church new worship songs, and how do you do it? Here are a few questions to...
Professors and aspiring writers who know I have authored or co-authored over thirty books and many smaller pieces often ask me, “How do you do it?” I am always glad to share my thoughts on this subject, particularly with those who are struggling to...
