Prepare to be bored…and then surprisingly enlightened and excited by the very facts that bored you. I am not a big fan of counting how many times a word occurs just to force us to carefully read the text. That might force me to also take off my shoes to enable me to count that […]

The Gospel is not just words, parables, philosophies, or platitudes; although the gospel is told in all those forms.

When Jesus came into the world, the prophecy stated that His name would be Immanuel, meaning “God with us” (Matthew 1:23). When Jesus left this world, He prophesied the same thing, “I am with you” (Matthew 28:20). From the beginning to the end, God is with us.
