  • Can We Really Give God More or Less Glory?

    13/12/2021 Duration: 14min

    Christians sometimes talk about giving God “some” glory, “more” glory, or “most” glory, but are those really biblical categories?

  • How ‘Progressive’ Can a Christian Get?

    10/12/2021 Duration: 18min

    None of us has an infallible understanding of the Bible, but at what point does open contradiction of Scripture call into question someone’s profession of faith?

  • God’s Plan When Our Plans Fail

    08/12/2021 Duration: 09min

    God, in his grace, does not keep us from trouble and pain. But he does order and measure our trouble and pain — and then uphold us through it all.

  • How Can I Resist a Critical Spirit?

    06/12/2021 Duration: 14min

    A love for excellence can easily grow into a hypercritical spirit. How can we resist the tendency to focus mostly on the failures of others?

  • John Piper’s Ministry in One Bible Text

    03/12/2021 Duration: 20min

    John Piper’s ministry has been marked by rigorous attention to God’s word paired with deep delight in God’s word — a double emphasis captured in Psalm 119:97.

  • The God Who Turns Hearts to God

    01/12/2021 Duration: 10min

    The story of Elijah on Mount Carmel shows that God rules over fire and rain, bulls and rocks — and even over every human heart.

  • Does Righteous Anger Kill Our Joy?

    29/11/2021 Duration: 14min

    If we allow anger to come quickly and stay long, it will eventually consume love, consume gratitude, consume mercy, and consume true perceptions of reality.

  • How Do I Write a Personal Mission Statement?

    26/11/2021 Duration: 20min

    God has reasons for everything he does — and an ultimate purpose driving it all. Personal mission statements help us align all of life with that great purpose.

  • The Glorious Duty of Thanksgiving

    24/11/2021 Duration: 07min

    Gratitude is a duty — we ought to thank God for the grace he has given. But genuine Christian gratitude is far more than mere duty.

  • How Can I Serve My Disabled Friends?

    22/11/2021 Duration: 12min

    Jesus healed people with deep, lifelong disabilities. So should we pray that he would heal loved ones with disabilities like Down syndrome or cerebral palsy?

  • Is Violent Crime Under God’s Providence?

    19/11/2021 Duration: 11min

    When we don’t understand God and his ways, we can still rest here: God is always totally sovereign, and God is always infinitely good.

  • Only Jesus Knows the Full Force of Temptation

    17/11/2021 Duration: 13min

    Jesus never lied, stole, coveted, grumbled, lusted, or sinned in any other way. And that means Jesus alone knows the full force of temptation.

  • Parenting Young Children Through Life’s Pains

    15/11/2021 Duration: 11min

    When suffering overshadows the life of a family, how can parents help their children embrace God’s all-good, all-wise, all-governing providence?

  • Is Complementarity Merely Functional?

    12/11/2021 Duration: 13min

    Are God’s callings for men and women merely functional and practical, or do they flow from something deeper in his design?

  • One Day Tolerance Will End

    10/11/2021 Duration: 10min

    We live in the day of salvation, the day of patience, the day of tolerance. But when Jesus returns, that day will end forever.

  • On Cigarettes, Vaping, and Nicotine

    08/11/2021 Duration: 11min

    Despite the warnings, cigarette smoking and other forms of nicotine use persist. How concerned should parents be about whether their teens smoke, chew, or vape?

  • Does God Command Our Praise for His Sake or Ours?

    05/11/2021 Duration: 11min

    Pleasure in God is not complete unless it overflows in praise to God. And praise to God is not sincere unless it overflows from pleasure in God.

  • How to Find More Joy in God

    03/11/2021 Duration: 09min

    Joy in God was never meant to be a solitary pursuit. Joy sends us out to serve — and serving fills us up with joy.

  • Why Did God Make Me Unattractive?

    01/11/2021 Duration: 13min
