'Insight' Into God's Guidance
When I was still in high school, my brother, sister and I, along with some friends, started a Christian rock band called Insight in Erie, Pennsylvania. Like most beginning rock groups, at first we stunk -- definite garage band material. But we loved Jesus and we loved music and so we played, and played, and played, and slowly we didn't stink as much. One day, in a scene similar to the one in the movie That Thing You Do (which was about a band from Erie, Pennsylvania, by the w

How does one respond to a person who claims to be God? This is one of the vital questions we must ask about the historic figure, Jesus of Nazareth. There is no way to escape the fact that Jesus declared that He was, in fact, God in the flesh. I and the Father are one. (John 10:30, NASB) He who has seen Me has seen the Father… (John 14:9b, NASB) Since Jesus claimed to be God, we have to judge his statements as either true or false – there is no middle ground. The great British
Yom Kippur and the Sacrifice of Jesus
No other Feast in the Jewish calendar more clearly anticipates the future, complete atonement of Israel’s Messiah – the One the New Testament identifies as Jesus the Christ. No other Old Testament sacrifice so clearly points to the superiority and finality of Christ’s atoning work on the cross. The writer of Hebrews makes it clear that in the eyes of God, there can be no atonement without the shedding of blood. Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, a
Jim Goll: Never Alone
Well-known Bible teacher James Goll grew up a singer before he was ever a preacher. Now he has returned to his roots with a special musical album, Never Alone. “Growing up in rural Missouri, singing was my lifeline. Whether it was performing at church or school functions, arranging choral sounds or bellowing forth as a soloist, singing was truly my delight. Eventually I became a wedding singer and even sang with my bride at our own wedding ceremony.” Although best known as a
Anxiety Elephants, Part 1
CVB: I love the cover and the title of this book. It’s excellent. It really pulls you in. Caris Snider: I wanted the title Anxiety Elephants because everybody understands what anxiety feels like. So when you get that imagery of an elephant sitting on your chest, you can understand what that feels like. I worked with Brickstone Creative Group for my book and they had a graphic designer named Melinda Martin. She talked with me about what I saw for the cover. I gave her a palett
How September 11th Changed America Forever
It was a peaceful morning. I was flying to Chicago for a business trip, so I had eagerly anticipated the arrival of September 11, 2001. As I looked out the airplane window over the patchwork of farms in America’s heartland I had no conception of the horror that my fellow countrymen were facing at that very moment. When American Airlines Flight 11 hit the north tower of the World Trade Center at 8:45 a.m. I was chatting with my boss who was flying with me. When United Airlines
