Excerpts from the March-April 2012 Issue!

Tim Challies: Forging through Isolation

"I have no formal theological training and never went to seminary. I'm learning as I go." It's an odd statement, coming from a professional Christian blogger and an associate pastor. Tim Challies even goes so far as to say that Bible reading often feels more like a duty than a pleasure: "I don't want to say I don't enjoy it, but it has always  been a challenge. I want people to know that others struggle with this. I think they would find joy in knowing that they're not alone."

Tullian Tchividjian: Bible Study for the Present Day

From a high school dropout who was kicked out of his home at age 16 to the pastor of a growing church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Tullian Tchividjian's life has been full of unexpected turns. God's Word has convicted and carried him through both trials and achievements; today Tchividjian teaches others to study the Word. The grandson of the Reverend Billy Graham and author of Jesus + Nothing = Everything is now intent on sharing the message of a God who transforms.

Promise Undelivered?

When exposed to evil, we might doubt God's presence. Soldiers' accounts and memoirs often recall times of doubt as they grappled with war atrocity and, ultimately, the struggle between good and evil. While Scripture is clear that good will triumph, it also says evil will win its share of battles. Second Kings 3 records a war even where evil won.
