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)”
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 Just
For God to be good and have a relationship with us based on mutual love, He had to give humanity a choice. So, God created our species in His Image, made us perfect (knowing only good), and provided everything needed to succeed including perfect direction (and what to avoid). Then He gave us liberty; theContinue reading “The Just”
Two Kingdoms, Two Women, One War
Spiritual warfare comes to every believer regardless of how we react; it is unavoidable. With believers dedicating so much effort to walking in love and living quiet, peaceable lives, some might wonder why battles find them. It seems to me that as long as we are living in this body, battles will come looking for usContinue reading “Two Kingdoms, Two Women, One War”
Freedom Convoy 2022 Scripturally (5 min)
So it is January 31st in Canada and there is a lot going on. Interestingly enough I am studying Ephesians 6 which speaks so much about spiritual warfare and standing firm. Discernment is needed to apply both in every situation. It will be some time before I finish my in-depth study of this passage; but,Continue reading “Freedom Convoy 2022 Scripturally (5 min)”
Born to Run Against Horses
Do you believe God is who He says He is? How can you be assured of your eternity with Him without believing what He has said about Himself and you? When we try to explain God’s ways through human reason, we often are confronted by Scriptures that seem contradictory or are opposed to common sense;Continue reading “Born to Run Against Horses”
BUT GOD!
In this “time of shaking”, values, health, economies, and environments are undergoing intense upset, and many people are revaluating their beliefs. It is critical to spiritual health to have confidence in something that is not subject to the manipulation of imperfect human beings. After my last blog on Ephesians 1 titled “Marked Pre-paid for Pickup“, I hadContinue reading “BUT GOD!”
There is Purpose for All of It!
My heart goes out to so many people across the entire globe who are trying to escape persecution, war, shortages of food and water, severe weather, violence and sickness. I believe our LORD is saddened for individuals as well. When I was growing up, some people said such occurrences were not increasing; instead, they attributed theContinue reading “There is Purpose for All of It!”
Fear Not! The LORD Almighty Reigns
Do you think the world is going crazy? Although, it seems as though humanity has been here before. You know the history of various empires and nations: they are birthed through conquest; rise in prosperity with a common set of values; then only to incur demise through a downward spiral of wickedness where too muchContinue reading “Fear Not! The LORD Almighty Reigns”
