During the Protestant Reformation of the 1500s, Martin Luther articulated a timeless distinction between two approaches to knowing God. He labeled one a “theology of glory,” and applied it to those who believe they can attain to a glorious knowledge of God by human goodness, religious effort, mystical experiences, or the wisdom of human reason.

Stewardship and Clinging to Treasures by Adam Miller
Every morning here at the Songtime office we meet as a staff to pray. One of the requests that I offer every day is that God would make us good stewards of our time, our talents, and our treasures. Stewardship is not a popular topic. It makes us feel uneasy, yet it is at the […]
The Greatest of These is Love by Adam Miller
“So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” I Corinthians 13:13 Years as a bachelor have provided me with immense opportunities to grow in my faith and hope. Isolation and independence have allowed me to focus on my studies and they have freed up my schedule to […]
Sanctification Is a Direction by David Powlison
Often our practical view of sanctification, discipleship, and counseling posits a monochromatic answer and takes the short view. If you memorize and call to mind one special Bible verse, will it clean up all the mess? Will the right kind of prayer life drive all the darkness away? Will remembering that you are a child […]
Starting Point: Conversion to Conviction, Redemption to Obedience by Micah Lovell
Obedience is difficult. Certainly, there are some people significantly more inclined toward obedience than others, but for the most part, obedience seems to run counter to the arc of human history that has led us to where we are today. Disobedience of a clear command is how our first parents lost Paradise in Genesis 3. […]
Follow Me As I Follow Christ by Adam Miller
“Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.” This is going to be an exciting year for me. As we delve into the theme of discipleship, I can already see areas where it will personally intersect with my life. In less than five months I will forever be joined to another human being as […]

Evangelism: More Impossible Than It Used To Be by Randy Newman
I’ve noticed some changes in Christians’ attitudes and motivations in evangelism over the years. A while ago, many Christians evangelized out of guilt. They felt so bad that they hadn’t told their friends about Jesus that they just had to “get it off their chests.” This was not ideal. Then, for a while, we proclaimed […]
An Invitation to Witness by Adam Miller
I love my mom. Because I love her, I know how she feels appreciated. She likes acts of service and every once in a while I try to surprise her by doing something nice. While I’m visiting them on vacation I might do a few chores around the house without being asked. I won’t even […]
The Fields Are White For Harvest, Even When You See Few Conversions by Dr. Donald Whitney
When you see few, if any, conversions in your place of ministry, it can be hard to believe that what Jesus said in John 4:35 is true. In that verse He said to His disciples, “Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your […]
Here Am I, Send Me by Adam Miller
I remember when I first encountered the realization of who God is and what He had done for me. I was only a little kid, but having grown up in church my whole life and sitting through hundreds of stories about the love of God, I had assumed that God loved me and never questioned […]
The Apologist’s First Question by Ravi Zacharias
I have little doubt that the single greatest obstacle to the impact of the Gospel has not been its inability to provide answers, but the failure on the part of Christians to live it out. I remember well in the early days of my Christian faith talking to a close Hindu friend. He was questioning […]
