During last Sunday’s sermon, I touched upon the moment when Jesus said, “In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.” Lk 14:33. I know that we all call ourselves disciples of Christ, but we have not given up everything. Is something wrong? Time for… Read More »
The Bread Of Life
Rom 8:29-30 For those God foreknew He predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified. When Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well, it… Read More »
For Freedom
“It is for freedom that Christ set us free.” If you have faith to believe, you already know what this means. Even if you cannot express it, your soul knows it–through worship and prayer you experience the glorious freedom of the children of God (Rom 8:21). To some, being set free for freedom’s sake does… Read More »
Forbidden Fruit
For years I have wondered how any tree within God’s creation could bear “forbidden fruit.” The Bible states that “God planted a garden…in Eden.” (Gen 2:8) so it is strange to me that anything within His garden could be poisonous or deadly. He said that everything He created was “good.” There had to be a… Read More »
We Live By Faith
We live by faith, not by sight. -2Cor 5:7. Paul’s statement is profound. By it, we know that our faith in Jesus Christ for salvation is all we need for this Christian life as well. Likewise, Peter wrote, “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of… Read More »
Freedom In Christ
What did Paul mean when he wrote, “It is for freedom that Christ set us free” -Gal 5:1? I suppose most English teachers and skilled writers would call that a redundant sentence. I was taught never to use a word in its own definition. Paul’s use of freedom and free might lead some to say… Read More »
Who, Not How
I found the following in my journal, though I do not remember writing it. “The how of this day has been replaced by the Who of this day. I don’t have to worry about how or what will happen during this day. To abide in Christ is to dwell in the Sovereignty of the Holy… Read More »
Standing Firm
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 »
