Many Christians fear they’ve committed the unforgivable sin. What did Jesus mean by blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? This post looks at the context to give clarity to Jesus’ warning and shows how fear itself points to hope in Christ.

The Bible says Satan has been bound, cast down, and defeated—yet it also warns that he prowls like a roaring lion. This post explores how those truths fit together and what they reveal about the devil’s power in our lives today.

Many people think that it’s the leader who makes or breaks a small group. But a great small group is usually the result of one or two group members who make the difference.

Have you ever been in a small group discussion that was more awkward than awesome? You look around and see silence, rambling, confusion, and irritation.

In 1980 in Canada, only 6% of people opted for cremation—and most of them would have been non-Christians. Today, that figure is over 75% and is a popular option among people of all faiths.
