I am so thankful that my eternity rests in the hands of my Father who is made a covenant with me that He cannot break without ceasing to be what He has declared about Himself in His Word. Consider that for a moment. If God breaks His covenant to bring those whom He has redeemedContinue reading “No Condemnation in Christ – Romans 8, Part 1”

The Struggle is REAL; but NOT Permanent
How often have I walked away from a conversation and asked myself why I said a particular thing, or why I didn’t exercise more restraint? It is clear that I have grown in my walk with the LORD, but it is even more apparent that my heart and mind still require so much more refining. I can wrestle withContinue reading “The Struggle is REAL; but NOT Permanent”
Seed Plot (Part 2) The Royal Offer to Wed
“Part 1” of this blog called “Seed Plot, The Preeminent in Our Place” started with questions about whether one man could save world. If you didn’t review it, you may want to check it out. Now we head into “Part 2” which explains how God’s intervention (His introduction of a new kind of human) wasContinue reading “Seed Plot (Part 2) The Royal Offer to Wed”
Can You Stand to Be Blessed?
How would you define a blessed person? Is it having great wealth, good health, a loving family, trustworthy friends, and favour in society? I certainly think those things can be blessings, but depending on the effects on you (or your development), they may not be. What about people who have all of those things, but do not know Christ?Continue reading “Can You Stand to Be Blessed?”
The Benevolent Covenant of Grace is His Binding Commitment (Part 2)
This is the second part of my study in Romans 4. Last time we looked at how Abraham was saved by grace through faith; and yes, based on Scripture, that faith was in Jesus Christ. While that is absolutely amazing, it is not impossible for eternal God (who is not limited to our space-time, orContinue reading “The Benevolent Covenant of Grace is His Binding Commitment (Part 2)”
The Benevolent Covenant of Grace is His Binding Commitment
When contemplating the intricacies of the universe’s design and life within it, I cannot even begin to comprehend the Creator’s precision. There is a deliberate order whether we understand it or not. I marvel at how God prophetically revealed redemption using history as both a mechanism and proof to help willing humans enter this very specific way to be reconciledContinue reading “The Benevolent Covenant of Grace is His Binding Commitment”
My New Year’s Eve Prayer for You
Another year has passed, and while so much has changed, God remains immutable and faithful. Regardless of what we are experiencing, we have such hope in Him! I thank the LORD for His Word which He originated outside of our space and time. I am amazed that this transcendent God would condescend to give it to us throughContinue reading “My New Year’s Eve Prayer for You”
Faithful are the Oracles of God
Ever wonder what is the point of all the difficulties a believer faces when pushing back darkness? While navigating through struggles, unpleasant experiences, trying relationships, and anticipating the challenges we see ahead, it is easy to wonder if fulfilling responsibilities and maintaining Godly attitudes have meaningful impacts and lasting consequences. Being holy and loving inContinue reading “Faithful are the Oracles of God”
The Outcomes
The 2nd chapter of Romans personalizes the reality of willful blindness in a “virtuous” person, and it ought to cause great introspection. In this chapter, the word “you” is used 27 times within 12 out of a total of 29 verses. That’s on average over 2 times per statement which is fairly confrontational. It becomesContinue reading “The Outcomes”
Dress Code in Effect
Why do we feel that everything is negotiable? When invited to a wedding, is the invited permitted to determine the date, time, venue, and nuptial garments? Certainly, those invited have a choice to determine whether they will attend, they make preparations to journey to the ceremonial site, and they make the effort to get there. ButContinue reading “Dress Code in Effect”
