Andrew Holmes: The Origin of Home

Where home begins  As we step into May, I find myself returning to a question that feels both simple and profound: Where does home begin?  We talk about home in many ways — a place we live, a feeling we carry, the people who steady us and remind us who we are. But the more I’ve sat with it, the more I’m realizing that home didn’t begin with us at all.  Home has an origin and that origin matters more than we might think.    A home created first  In the opening pages of Scripture, before there were families, before […]

Dr. Rob Pacienza: What Has Harvard to do with Jerusalem? A Christian Perspective on Higher Education

In the United States, higher education has become a growth industry. Since 1970, the number of college students has more than doubled. However, it seems that Americans cannot quite agree on what a college should do and what type of graduate it should produce. Some Americans want universities to be merely job-training institutions. Others want them to be hotbeds of political activism. Yet others want universities to produce culturally literate citizens.  For Christians, this raises the question: “In God’s design, what is a university for?” More to the point of this article, “What is a distinctively Christian university for?” The […]

Dr. O.S. Hawkins: Be Filled!

There is only one commandment in all the Bible related to our relationship with the Holy Spirit. It is found in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians: “Do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5’18).  Being filled with the Holy Spirit is not an option for the believer. It is imperative for Christian living. Every verb has a number, a tense, a voice, and a mood. When dissecting this phrase — “be filled” — in its original language, we find that the number is plural, meaning everyone, all of us. The […]

Franklin Graham: Until the Whole World Hears

Jesus’ last command to His disciples — before ascending into Heaven some 40 days after His victorious resurrection from the grave — were: “You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to preach the Gospel of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ near the southernmost point of South America — literally the ends of the earth. The Holy Spirit moved mightily during the two-night Esperanza Ushuaia Festival, as hundreds of people in the capacity-filled auditorium and overflow area repented […]
