I’ve lived long enough to know that my strongest days are behind me. And when I do look back and observe the steps I’ve taken along the way, I see some that I’m glad I made and others I regret. Perhaps these observations could be a help. I’ll begin by sharing a couple of the things I would change if I could repeat the last 25 years....

Like many of you, I felt sick to my stomach when I learned that political activist Charlie Kirk had been murdered in broad daylight on September 10. The response of thousands of people on social media revealed a deep social disease running rampant in our country and dividing neighbor from neighbor....

In Romans 5, Paul makes clear that all human beings descended from Adam share in Adam’s guilt and inherit a corrupted nature. In light of the reality of “original sin,” many believers immediately begin to wonder, “What about babies?” More specifically, “Can those who die in infancy (or before birth) inherit eternal life?” ...

Believers do have a connection/union with Christ, mysterious though it may be, but we still don’t know anything about how this union actually looks. There are a few examples in the New Testament that give us a little more insight into this topic....

We desire to be a church where meaningful relationships are formed, in the spirit of Acts 2:42–47 and Hebrews 10:25. ...

I can’t think of anything more important to Jesus—and more neglected by His church—than the task of evangelism. It’s obvious that Jesus wanted us to proclaim the good news and make disciples, and yet it’s often the last thing on our minds. When was the last time you shared the gospel with someone who needed Jesus? ...

Why did John say, “Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete” (2 John 12). Why does he suggest face to face is better than writing?...
