The Barabbas in Me — Ami Loper
Barabbas. He's kind of a vague person in history. All we really know is that he was released from prison, chosen to be freed by the people while Jesus was crucified. But there is a Barabbas in me, in all of us... #EasterSunday #Resurrection #ChristianBlog
Ami Loper,
Who did He die for?
If you are like most people, you love your family and would probably do anything to help them if they were in any kind of trouble. If you have kids, you nurture and care for them. In fact, you are …

Who did He come to die for?
“For when we were still without strength (totally powerless), at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man someone…

The Truest of True Heroes
The current restrictions on movements and gatherings has meant participating in church services from a distance. That has its downside of course, but there is also an upside to physical distancing. For me it meant that, not only could I "go" to my own church via the internet yesterday but that I could also "go" to church in Medellín, Colombia to hear a good friend preach at El Redil Estadio. The message delivered was on Samson and among the many excellent observations that Diego made, one about

Tales of the Nevi'im - Hosea
The Tales of the Nevi’im are the Stories of the Prophets. In Hebrew navi (nah-vee’) means prophet and the plural, prophets, is nevi’im (neh-vee-eem’).

The God Who Loves
John 3:16may be the most familiar verse in all of Scripture—but it is surely one of the most abused, and least understood. The verse is so well known that some Christians seem to think giving the reference alone constitutes a sufficient proclamation of the gospel. For years, someone in a multicolored clown wig could be
John MacArthur,
The Ultimate Demonstration of God’s Love
God’s love for sinners is a well-documented historical fact. Its verification doesn’t hinge on the consensus of theologians, nor does its validation rest on something we feel. The apostle John points us to the cross as the consummate and undeniable proof of divine love: “God is love. By this the love of God was manifested

Moses and the History of Grace
For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope” (Romans 15:4). History reminds us of the past, defines us in the present, and prepares us for the future. In Scripture, we have something more, something we might call holy history. The narratives of the Old Testament become the palette the New Testament authors used to paint the answers to the great questions of God, faith, and hu…
