Parenting Lesson #1: God Works Through Families

Michael Kruger — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 13:09:14 +0000

In a prior blog post, I announced the forthcoming release of the new book I co-authored with my wife Melissa, entitled: The Good News Family Devotional: 52 Weeks in the Gospel of Mark.

This book is designed to fill a gap in family devotionals because it is written by both a mom and a dad, and also designed to reach both the parent and the child. It releases on May 5^th so keep an eye out!

In light of this forthcoming book, I am doing a short 3-part blog series in the month of April designed to highlight a number of key lessons on parenting we have …

What’s the Best Argument for the Resurrection?

Michael Kruger — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 12:48:22 +0000

Well, soon it will be Easter. That wonderful time of the year when we remember (and celebrate) the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

But, not all will be celebrating. There are many that find Easter to be a senseless holiday—apart from, perhaps, the joys of Sunday brunch or chocolate eggs.

In response to such skepticism, apologists have been making their best arguments for the resurrection. There’s the empty tomb. There’s the fact that women were the first eyewitnesses …

Every parent feels it. They know they should be studying the Bible with their children and just don’t know how to take the next step. So, the years tick away and the guilt piles up.

And it’s not just the problem of being too busy. For many parents, they just don’t know where to begin. Should parents just start in Genesis? Should they read a chapter a day? And how do they communicate the lesson to their children?

Of course, there are plenty of devotionals out there. But most of them are for either the parents or their children. The former is often too heavy for the kids. And the …

Does the World Notice When Christians Fight with One Another?

Michael Kruger — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 14:46:25 +0000

In the earliest centuries of the church, the burgeoning Christian movement had its fair share of critics. And their complaints were wide and varied. Christians worshipped a criminal crucified by the Romans. Christians were a threat to the empire because of their refusal to pay homage to the gods. Christian books were filled with errors and contradictions. Jesus was a magician who learned his dark arts in Egypt. And so on.

Of all the early critics (and there were many), Celsus was undoubtedly the most strident. Writing in the latter half of the second century, Celsus was a Greek Philosopher who penned one of the earliest sustained critiques of Christianity …
