Hidden sins destroy Christians because theyâre hidden. Far too often, Christians wallow in the darkness, smothered by the guilt of sins that they are too ashamed to name. Itâs impossible to put to death a sin you wonât confess. Which means cultivati...

As I sat atop my lofted dorm-room bed and turned the page from Romans 8 to Romans 9 in my small, tattered Bible, I went from a chapter familiar enough to be easily skimmed to a chapter that I had no recollection of ever reading before. Both chapte...

Shaded from the heat of a Syrian summer, an old man sits in shackles, speaking earnestly to a secretary. His words mingle conviction and compassion, like a father to his children. In the next room, ten of emperor Trajanâs legionaries drink off anoth...
