Names often serve an important rhetorical function in biblical literature. In Genesis 22, a new epithet for God is given, Jehovah Jireh, which is often translated as “the LORD will provide” and, when used as a name, “the LORD my provider” (see ESV...
John Piper’s recently released book on God’s providence has been a work coming to fruition for some 20 years. And it’s meaty—700 pages. But Piper isn’t shy about its size—or its title (some may wonder why the word “sovereignty” isn’t included). He...
We can learn a lot from others about prayer, but often we forget to seek out the Bible and how others throughout biblical history prayed. Yet we can glean much from Old Testament prayers and those faithful few who prayed them and approached God...
Some of the most startling things in the Bible are hidden in plain sight. Galatians 3:7 is a case in point. Amid the predictable focus on law, grace, and the gospel, Paul blindsides us: “the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles...

I didn’t expect for my perspective to change, but it did. All this time, Mary has been a distant figure to me—someone only sung and spoken about. Working on Mary: Devoted to God’s Plan was transformational. When we set out to create a life...
At some point in life, we all struggle with faith. God makes a promise, but the direction that promise takes us is uncertain. And when the path toward the promise doesn’t meet our expectations, we become frustrated and confused. In the process, we...
Small group leaders play a crucial and challenging role in their churches. As volunteers, they often have to balance the responsibilities of work and family with those of ministry. Pastors have the equally difficult task of providing small group...
“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1) Do the words of the psalmist describe your church community? How about the way your church studies Scripture? Logos has developed a new curriculum to help your...
