Brothers and sisters, I implore you, have nothing to do with Lent. This week, for many, will mark the beginning of Lent—the 40-day period leading up to Easter. It is portrayed as a time of humbling one’s self to prepare for receiving the true meaning of the cross at Easter time. Those who participate in… Read More »
Entrusted with God’s Secret Things
God has caused us to stay true to the Gospel of His Son Jesus. It is the good news of the unconditional love of God pouring out to us in the blood of His only Son unto death, that we could be saved. I know that I can preach no other message. I also know… Read More »
Something Better For Us
Speaking about the Old Testament believers like Abraham and King David, the Bible records, “These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.” -Heb 11:39-40. Well, I must admit that… Read More »
A Technicality Proves The Point
In our Galatians Bible study this week, Paul spoke of something that I have not often pointed out. His message near the end of Galatians 3, is one that helps up to make a separation between grace and the law. He said, “Just as no one can add to a human covenant that has been… Read More »
The Covenant He Has Made With Us
If I asked, “Do you know who you are in Christ?” I think you all would be able to give accurate answers. One would say, “I’m a new creation.” Another would add, “I have been set free from sin and been made holy and blameless in God’s sight.” Others would chime in, “Free from accusation!”… Read More »
A Tree And Its Fruit
Jesus said, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them…Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.” Matt 7:15-17 When you read your Bibles, give yourselves time. Time for prayer, time to ask… Read More »
The Invitation
Jesus asked, “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? Lk 11:11-12. This question is not directed to everyone. Although anyone could understand it and give a logical, proper response, Jesus was speaking to… Read More »
The Christians Relationship To Sin
The Christian’s relationship to sin is like that of a host to a parasite, or a sovereign nation to an invading army. The contrast I wish to draw here is with the unbeliever’s relationship to sin. There is nothing parasitic or foreign about it. The invasion was long-ago successful. Another ruler has set up his… Read More »
Joy To Endure The Cross
The writer of Hebrews encourages us by the Spirit of Christ, saying, “Let us throw off everything that hinders, and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the… Read More »
Your First Love
This week, my Bible reading led me to the following passage: Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him and He will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like… Read More »
