Question What is the law of liberty? Answer Thanks so much for your question. As you know, the phrase “law of liberty” is found in James 1:25 and 2:12. The key to understanding what it means is found in the context immediately before its first occurrence (1:25). James has just spoken of the new […]
Imagine that Laura is a doctor. Laura chose to become a doctor because her mother developed Lou Gehrig’s disease, and she had to learn how to care for her mother. That sparked Laura’s passion for medicine. But what if Laura’s mother had never developed the disease? Would Laura still have become a doctor? And is […]

One of our favorite songs at Dallas Theological Seminary was Crown Him with Many Crowns. Recently that song has taken on a different meaning for me. Two weeks ago, I found out I had a huge cavity under a crown, and the tooth was pulled the next day. The periodontist warned me to get to […]

In fact, He knows what you’ll say before you even say it: You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted […]
In the last hundred years, human knowledge has exploded. Currently, it doubles every thirteen months, and it may soon double every twelve hours! We know more about the universe now than we ever have before, and a year from now we’ll know double that much! Long gone are the days of having “Renaissance” men like […]
I have a confession to make. Sometimes it is difficult for me to determine how to apply a passage in the OT to my life. I know that all Scriptures are profitable (2 Tim 3:16), but when I try to ask what certain passages addressed to the nation of Israel have to do with the […]
