This is Alaska, the Great Land. Within these wild stretches of Alaska lie small, scattered, remote...

Widely-acclaimed author Mark Buchanan states that what we've really lost is the rest of God-the rest God bestows and, with it, that part of Himself we can know only through stillness." Stillness as a virtue is a foreign concept in our society, but there is wisdom in God's own rhythm of work and rest. Jesus practiced Sabbath among those who had turned it into a dismal thing, a day for murmuring and finger-wagging, and He reminded them of the day's...

I love everything that Scott Sauls writes. -- Christine Caine What if Christians became the best advertisement for Jesus? Jesus said his followers would be a light to the world and a city on a hill -- a warmly inviting, neighbor-loving, grace- and truth-filled destination for all. He envisioned his followers as life-giving neighbors, bosses, employees, and friends, the kind of people who return insults with kindness and persecution with prayers. Rooted...

Far from encouraging sin, this biblical understanding of grace fuels and empowers the obedience that God commands. Explaining why grace is...

Stop being a poser. Start being a Christian. Is your faith for real? How about your walk? If everyone who claimed to love Jesus actually did, this world would be pretty close to paradise. Yet we live in a time when being a poser is not only easy, it's rewarded -- especially where Jesus is concerned. But claiming to love Jesus without following him is bogus, fraudulent, and -- frankly -- it's not you . God has called you to be set apart, to live authentically,...

You can have regular devotions, great preaching, a strong emphasis on the Bible, a great worship team, and a congregation...

In his new book, Melvin Bray insists that a better world is possible if the stories around which we organize our lives begin to match the beauty we imagine is possible. Bray puts forth...
