The Death of Lazarus – John 11:1-27

Denny Burk — Tue, 12 May 2026 04:10:12 +0000

The most foolish people in the world are the ones who never stop to think about the fact that they are going to die. They don’t draw lessons from funerals. They avoid them. They never learn from the suffering and grief of others. They keep aloof from that messiness. And they really never come to grips with the fact that no one is really ready to live unless they are ready to die.

I and the Father Are One – John 10:22-42

Denny Burk — Tue, 05 May 2026 03:38:38 +0000

This text contains one of the most profound statements of Jesus’ divinity in all of Scripture: “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30). That declaration is the basis for the security of the believer (vv. 22-30), the fury of the unbeliever (vv. 31-39), and the heart of the believer (vv. 40-42). You can listen to the entire message at the Apple Podcast or Spotify links below.

An Assassination Attempt and the American Way

Denny Burk — Fri, 01 May 2026 03:21:55 +0000

It has been difficult to look away from the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner on Saturday in Washington, D.C., where a left-wing radical named Cole Tomas Allen ran through a security check point toward the ballroom where President Trump and the first lady had already been seated. Allen was armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and some knives as he shot a federal officer at the checkpoint but was apprehended before becoming a threat to dignitaries and guests gathered in the ballroom.

Making Blasphemy Great Again Won’t Go Well for President Trump

Denny Burk — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 04:29:58 +0000

Sunday night, President Trump posted a meme on Truth Social that has offended even some of his most ardent Christian supporters. It was so bad that by early Monday afternoon, it had been removed. Whether the president will issue an apology alongside the removal remains to be seen, but as of late Monday afternoon, no apology has been forthcoming. He did, however, offer brief remarks admitting that he posted the picture himself but only because he thought it made him look like a “doctor.”

I also recorded an audio version of the column for “The WORLD and Everything in It” podcast. You can listen to it below. The segment begins at 31:10.

Confronting Annihilationism on Ray Comfort’s Podcast

Denny Burk — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 05:29:54 +0000

I recently travelled to Los Angeles to record a two-hour conversation with Ray Comfort, Mark Spence, and E.Z. Zwayne about the doctrine of Hell and annihilationism. We get pretty deep in the weeds on this one, but it was definitely necessary to do so. I hope you’ll give it a listen and understand why the vast majority of believers throughout the entire history of the Christian church have embraced the biblical doctrine of the eternal conscious torment of the damned.

Resurrection Hymn

Denny Burk — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 04:56:31 +0000

O Jesus, Savior of my life,
My hope, my joy, my sacrifice,
I’ve searched and found no other one
Who loves me more than you have done.

So I denounce my lingering sin
Whose power You have broke within
My ever weak and faithless frame.
Its vigor’s crushed in Jesus name.

For your death did at once proclaim,
The Godhead’s glory and my shame.
And you did seize my cup of guilt
And drank all that the chalice spilled.

No condemnation now I dread
Because you went for me instead
To bear the curse and wrath and rage,
To pay the debt I would have paid.

Yet your work finished not with death,
Nor with your final murdered breath.
For death’s blows could not ever quell
The One whose life is in Himself.

Your passion broke forth full with life,
And foiled the adversary’s wiles.
You broke the chains, destroyed the sting
With which death had afflicted me.

O Savior, who died in my stead,
You firstborn from among the dead,
O Savior, you who saved my life,
Will take me whole to paradise.

So on this resurrection day
I lift my voice with all the saints
And sing with all my ransomed might
Of You, the Savior of my life!
