As you read through the book of Ruth, you won’t find any places where God’s voice thunders down to her as you might in other Bible stories. No earth-shattering miracles, like the Red Sea parting, happen in her life. But what you do see is a common life, shaped by faith, devoted to family, and […]

The notion of free will and the impact it has upon human sinfulness has been an ongoing conversation in Christianity.  One of the major breaks in Protestantism happened around the concept of free will.  What grants us the ability to resist the endless repetition of our sins?  What makes salvation possible?  At the core to […]

We continue our exploration of the New Testament Messianic titles with Son of Man. Did you know that Jesus is both fully human and yet fully divine?  This week we delve into the title that draws our attention to the humanity of Jesus, and helps us appreciate a God incarnate that knows all the intimate […]
