Over the years I’ve begun to notice a dangerous misconception taking root among believers, the idea that understanding the Word of God is the same as living it. It has taught me a simple but sobering truth: knowing the Word of God isn’t enough. Information alone doesn’t change a life. Agreement alone doesn’t produce faithfulness. Unless truth actually moves us to act, …
Peace In The Midst Of Chaos
Chaos is no match for our God. From the first pages of the Bible, we read of His power over chaos. When the whole planet was without form and void, God’s spirit brooded over the chaotic waters and overcame them. He brought light into the darkness and land for humans out of the waters. Our God is the Master of …
WHERE IS MY JOY?
In 21st-century life, it can feel increasingly difficult to find a reason for joy. Each day we are confronted with images of rebellion, strife, and turmoil around the world. From all appearances, the world seems to be racing toward self-destruction and ruin. Has there ever been a time like the present? When we read Scripture, however, we quickly discover that …
From Creation to Completion
Scripture presents history as a single, intentional work of God—from beginning to end. The Bible does not record a series of disconnected events, but the unfolding of one deliberate purpose. Scripture does not move toward uncertainty, but toward the fulfillment of God’s original intent for creation. What God begins, He brings to completion. Even in the face of rebellion meant …
The Supremacy of Christ
In this teaching Marc Dickie shares from Hebrews 1, drawing our attention to the supremacy of Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah and the reality of his ongoing, active ministry today. He beautifully wove together how the Bible speaks with one unified voice—across different authors and generations—revealing God’s faithful plan to send His Son as the redeemer of mankind. Marc …
The Freedom Found in Forgiveness
Forgiveness may be one of the hardest things God calls us to practice, whether toward others or toward ourselves. It doesn’t mean excusing evil or pretending nothing happened. It’s the deliberate, God-honoring choice to release resentment, let go of the desire for revenge, and trust our heavenly Father with justice. Even the world around us recognizes what Scripture has long …
The Permanence of Salvation
One of the most pressing questions believers wrestle with today is simple — is salvation truly secure, or is it something that must be maintained through continued faithfulness, obedience, or perseverance? For many sincere Christians, salvation has quietly shifted from a finished work of God into a fragile arrangement dependent on human consistency. The result is often uncertainty instead of …
Joy That Holds In A Shaking World
Joyous New Year! As we step into 2026, it’s worth acknowledging something we all already know: some hard things will happen this year. There will be disappointments, interruptions, and moments that test our patience and faith. Circumstances will not always make us “happy.” But Scripture never calls us to chase happiness—it calls us to choose joy. And the joy of …
Why Do Christians Pray?
“Prayer” is uniquely human. Whether they realize it or not, everyone prays. Some address a deity, while others simply “wish” or seek “good vibes.” Yet the fact remains: at one time or another, every person prays. Still, remarkably few ever see genuine fruit from this most basic spiritual act. Scripture declares that the God of the Bible answers prayer, unlike …
