Scripture Invites Us to Praise God through Singing

article September 21, 2018

Recently, feeling a weight about Nanci’s fight with cancer, I also felt a great need to sense God’s presence and joy. The Lord led me to Psalm 100. When I read verse 2, which says “come before Him with joyful songs,” I realized I rarely sing to Him in my quiet time.

Isn’t Sharing Publicly about the Moral Failings of Evangelical Pastors in General Unbiblical?

article September 5, 2018

Question from a reader: I read your blog post, “The Sacred Trust of Pastors and Christian Leaders: Accountability and Consequences for Sexual Abuse.” It seems like throwing evangelical pastors under the bus publicly is just what the world would love to see. In the article, you cited 1 Timothy 5:10 and mentioned that if a pastor sinned that it should be disclosed to the church body.

Why It’s Biblical, Not Just a Fad, to Care for People from Other Cultures

article August 24, 2018

On the New Earth we’ll never celebrate sin, but we’ll celebrate diversity in the biblical sense (though never in the twisted sense that celebrates sin in the name of diversity). So let’s get a head start now, by loving and serving people of different cultures and races. This article by EPM staff member Shauna Hernandez is an excellent reminder of why we should do so.

article August 22, 2018

We tend to let our jobs, relationships, material possessions, abilities, and other things define who we are, when they shouldn’t. Here are four aspects of our identity captured in Scripture, followed by some resources you might benefit from.

Poor Interpretation Lets Us “Believe” the Bible While Denying What It Actually Says

article August 8, 2018

As people respond to my books, ask questions, and state opinions through emails and social media, I’m struck with how many say they believe the Bible, but their interpretations are so out of line with credible biblical meanings that their profession of confidence in Scripture becomes meaningless, and even dangerous.
