The sanctity (sacredness) of marriage reaches far beyond the promises a man and woman pledge to each other on their wedding day. It is more than the blessed intimacy they enjoy behind closed doors.

I watched with horror this week as the New York legislature passed laws so that babies could be killed right up to the time of birth. They also broadened the scope of who could perform this type of murderous infanticide. The most disturbing image, though, was the immediate reaction of joy, applause, and cheering when […]
Diving with sharks. Diving with sharks with my fourteen-year-old son. Diving in cenotes (freshwater caverns in Mexico). Trips to countries where people are murdered for their faith. Some say I am an adrenaline junkie, an adventurer, or a risk taker. My wife usually just says I’m crazy. Taking risks for a pleasure, like scuba diving, […]

FORT WORTH, Texas (BP) — The president of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary had just been dismissed. The seminary found itself embroiled in a bitter dispute. Harsh words were spoken. Relationships were broken. The year was 1995. The parallels to 2018 are striking. The larger controversy now is not the issue of biblical inerrancy, but the […]
This month in Transformations, we want to introduce you to Laurel. Laurel felt unloved and unlovable because she felt dirty from some sins in her youth. This led to her not being able to love other people. Even after God had forgiven her, Laurel didn’t know how to accept God’s forgiveness, so the guilt of […]
Your path to Obedience starts here.
Why is obedience important?
