God Has Spoken

February 20, 2020
By Chris Anderson

So far, Church Works Media has published over 50 hymns and songs. Some are more familiar, some less. One of my favorites is still kind of unknown: "God Has Spoken." Scripture describes several ways in which God has revealed Himself to...

Wise Men: Gentiles Who Sought the Savior

February 28, 2020
By Chris Anderson

I love nativity scenes. My family has several, from a porcelain “Avon” series to a colorful “Cracker Barrel” collection, to an unbreakable “Little People” set made for little hands. None of it is fine art, but it wouldn’t feel quite...

Angels: God’s Faithful and Former Messengers

February 28, 2020
By Chris Anderson

You could argue that everybody but Jesus is an “extra” in the Christmas story. The narrative of the incarnation has but one Hero. But that’s not to say that those with supporting roles were chosen at random. No, every detail...

We give a lot of thought to “staging” in the modern world. Weddings are choreographed to look “just so.” Events like graduations are designed and rehearsed to be both beautiful and meaningful. Every “State of the Union” address features some...

Time Flies

February 28, 2020
By Chris Anderson

We just introduced Gospel Meditations for Young Adults (available now to preorder). Here is a preview of Day 4 from Chris Anderson. Read Psalm 90. “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12) I...

The Value of a Soul

February 28, 2020
By Chris Anderson

Matthew 16:26 is sometimes obscured by the epic texts that surround it. Matthew 16 contains Peter’s proclamation that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God (v. 16). It contains Jesus’ promise to build His church and lay...

This week, Chris Anderson is traveling in Indonesia with two young families from the church he pastors who are praying, strategizing, and planning to move there. This excerpt from Gospel Mediations for Missions is a fitting thought for the occasion! “Why...

Jars of Clay: A Philosophy of Grace vs. Glory

November 6, 2019
By Chris Anderson

During my theological training, I regularly heard challenges on the need to be exceptional for the glory of God. I was taught that excellence was a cardinal Christian virtue, which honestly did me a world of good. I heard that it...

A Stack of Bibles

November 6, 2019
By Chris Anderson

When I was a kid, we would say (rather irreverently, I admit), "I swear on a stack of Bibles." The meaning was as clear as "I swear on my mother's grave": The speaker was telling the truth—or at least wanted...

Groaning Grace

February 28, 2020
By Chris Anderson

The modern church doesn't lament well. The churches in which I grew up tended to omit "downer" Psalms in favor of those that we consider to be more "uplifting." If we're honest, we're almost embarrassed by the negativity of Psalms of...
