And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. John 1:14
I suppose no truth claim found within the biblical worldview can match the sheer awe brought about by the incarnation.
Wayne Grudem puts it this way:
It is by far the most amazing miracle of the entire Bible—far more amazing than the resurrection and more amazing even than the creation of the universe. The fact that the ...
My thoughts often slip back to the valley in between the crucifixion and the resurrection, especially on this day. The disciples had to have been in an emotional abyss: the deepest of sorrow having lost their Teacher and Friend; the greatest of fear having seen the gruesome scourging and crucifixion, believing they were likely targets as well; the darkest of despair having lost their hopes and ...
I will be in Orlando, Aug 3-5, to speak to The First Academy faculty and staff. The First Academy, as well as First Baptist Orlando, have been great supporters of the Truth Project and I am looking forward to spending time with them. I will be addressing the state of our culture. If you live in the area, consider them as your school of choice.
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29

I find it fascinating that the very first description of Jesus, as He was beginning His ministry here on earth, is that He was declared to be the “Lamb of God”. For us today, the imagery provokes something soft and huggable. My granddaughter has a fluffy lamb doll. We have several...
CBS posted an article entitled “10 Top Coolest New Species”. When I first read the headline, I thought it was proposing that evolution had given us ten new species.
No.
Every year the International Institute for Species Exploration delivers a list of species they have been newly discovered. It is a great site if you are interested. http://www.esf.edu/species/

For twenty years, scientists have been baffled by what you might call “crop circles” or “sand castles” on the bottom of the ocean off the coast of Japan’s Amami Oshima Island.
The mystery is now solved.
These intricate, strange yet beautiful designs were painstakingly made by a male puffer fish in hopes that his “castle” might attract a pretty lit...
It is dangerous to ignore the reality of Satan and his forces. I am NOT a person who sees a demon behind every bush, but to run to the other side of the continuum and act as if there is no spiritual warfare is folly and contrary to plain biblical teaching. We forget this to our peril:
“I am certain that one of the main causes for the ill-state of the church today lies in the fact th...

“Because I live, you also will live” John 14:19
I know someone who surrendered their life to Christ because of these very words. They connect, again, the resurrection of Christ with the future hope that we, too, will be raised in like manner… physically. And, it meant, as Paul stated, that Jesus was the “firstfruits” of those who would be raised from the dead...
It is probably true that we do not spend much time pondering the reality that Jesus intercedes for us with the Father. And, I suspect, we seldom, if ever, connect that intercession with the resurrection. However, the Holy Spirit, through Paul, makes that link:
Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died&...
