    The Floods Have Lifted Up

    Our Lord Reigns Supreme Psalms 93:1-2 ESV “The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed; he has put on strength as his belt. Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.” Jesus Christ, our Lord...

    Let's Go on to Maturity

    The Elementary Doctrine Hebrews 6:1-3 ESV “Therefore, let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the...

    Adam - Abraham - Moses - Jesus

    Adam sinned/transgressed heavens law long before the Mosaic/covenant at Sinai was cut. The Mosaic covenant was cut/established with one nation only, Israel. Their purpose was to be a set apart nation of priests/mediators between God & mankind (Ex 19:6). The Sinai covenant was a marriage...

    The Cruelty of Tenderness

    Dietrich Bonhoeffer: “Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian Community Sin...

    All in God's Plan

    Luke 19:1-10 ESV “He entered Jericho and was passing through. And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. So he ran on ahead and...

    My Psalm of Repentance

    When we see sin as something that dampens our relationship with Christ & the members of His Body, our idea of repentance shifts. Rather than sifting through all the rules, to see if we broke one (and arguing with ourselves about how far we can stretch a rule before it becomes a sin), looking...

    We Pray for Our Loved Ones

    I am reading in Acts 17 (ESV). Paul was in Thessalonica at the Jewish synagogue reasoning with the Jews regarding Jesus Christ, their Messiah, telling them that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead. And some of the Jews were persuaded to believe in Jesus. But the...

    Faith alone is required for salvation & You're not under Mosaic law!

    Ex 11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that "the LORD doth put a difference between the Nations and Israel". (MY NOTE: The LORD put a difference between all other 69 (Gen 10) Nations & Israel/His chosen...

    They are Circumventing the Cross

    John 10:1-4 ESV “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own...

    What does it mean to deny God?

    I was reading through the bible the other day and stumbled upon Matthew 10:32-33. Verse 33 states that if one denies God in front of men, Jesus will deny him infront of his father. I guess what my question is, what is the difference between Peter's denial of Jesus and the denial of God in this...

    IF We Walk in the Light

    Do You Practice the Truth? 1 John 1:5-6 ESV “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” It continues to amaze me how...

    Hearts Far from God

    Isaiah 29:13-14 ESV “And the Lord said: ‘Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men, therefore, behold, I will again do wonderful things with this people...

    Here I Am! Send Me!

    Isaiah 6:1-5 ESV “In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And...

    In Our Weakness, God Is Glorified.

    The popular star psychologist, Jordan Peterson, has stated, "Who dares say they believe in God!" or something similar. In a similar vein, I pose the question in an alternate way, "Who dares say they want to know the full extent of their sin!" In the glimpses I have had of my sin, it shows me how...

    When God Shuts up the Heavens

    2 Chronicles 7:13-15 ESV “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from...

    A Few Things Against

    Revelation 2:13-15 ESV “I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the...

    Included in the family

    Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.” Peter had entered the house of Gentiles, an act punishable by excommunication from the Jewish religion. But he explained the steps...

    What We Can Learn From The Ravi Zacharias Story.

    Upon thinking about the late Ravi Zacharias, and upon thinking about my own struggle with sin, there was a question raised up from the depth of my soul. The question was, "Is repentance enough?" The question came to me thinking empathetically about how Ravi might have thought about his sin...

    I am struggling with my walk with Christ. Any help??

    I grew up in a Christian family for most of my life and I have attended Sunday school. I don't know what is wrong with me because it seems like I am not a normal person anymore. I have read parts of the Bible where it says that God hates sinners. I have something wrong with me because I started...

    Who Rules Your Life?

    I am going to share these Scriptures out of order, because this first section I am sharing teaches what it means to receive Christ Jesus as Lord, and then I will follow that with the section that speaks of what comes after that. Colossians 2:9-12 NIV “For in Christ all the fullness of the...
