The Prayer and Faith Conundrum (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sign up for a six month free trial of The Stand Magazine! Here’s a theological conundrum for you. As you begin to walk down the corridor in the hall of fame of faith in Hebrews 11, you pass a big sign right after you stroll past the bust of Enoch, who didn’t die because he pleased God so well. The sign reads, “And without faith it is impossible to please him [God]…” (Hebrews 11:6). Every Christian already knows that. But do we really? Let’s see. If faith is a requirement for pleasing God, then i

Doesn’t He mean that you can tell what’s on the inside of a person by the open manifestation of their words and deeds? What

Sign up for a six month free trial of The Stand Magazine! “Why don’t Christians keep their antiquated views and opinions in their churches and to themselves? They should let people live out their lives the way they want. They’re just interfering bigoted hate mongers!” Those and other charges have been bandied about by political and religious progressives so much that some rather large segments of the church have succumbed to the endless badgering. Most keep quiet outside the church, and many hav
The Gospel in Seven Words (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sign up for a six month free trial of The Stand Magazine! I love Merriam-Webster’s definition of the word ‘pithy’ – “having substance and point: tersely cogent.” Four words that get funneled down to two. The definition pretty much affirms itself, doesn’t it? I am quite the opposite of pithy when it comes to preaching and writing. I believe the word that best describes that is: verbose. Being verbose is good if you (and the audience) have both the time and stamina. You get to flesh things out tha
