It seems as though much of the world is in distress due to conflicts between and within nations, governments, social frameworks, faith groups, and families. There are many converging issues while approaching a dimly seen pinnacle from a human temporal perspective. Dissatisfaction is rampant because so many people’s reasonable expectations are confronted by opposing strategies, policies,Continue reading “Humility in God’s Election (Romans 9)”

Eternally Loved & Earnesly Longing – Romans 8, Part 3
Have you ever noticed that some of the strongest warnings and exhortations in the Bible are to those who toy with the idea of compromise with other worldviews or systems? There is a central theme throughout Scripture that anyone who desires God’s eternal life, love, and promises must be willing to be devoted to God despiteContinue reading “Eternally Loved & Earnesly Longing – Romans 8, Part 3”
No Condemnation or Separation – Romans 8, Part 2
My Father started me on a voyage with siblings through various terrains that I was never to make my home. I was naive when I started. I was just so excited to be here; travelling; learning; and with so much to do! For a time, I forgot who He was and why I was even here! At first,Continue reading “No Condemnation or Separation – Romans 8, Part 2”
No Condemnation in Christ – Romans 8, Part 1
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”
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”
Seed Plot, The Preeminent in Our Place
Could it be true? What if a single human representative could successfully champion the human race? Could one man be the title-holder, the defender, the victor, the reigning champion who can never be defeated despite being fully human? Well, if one human’s actions could sentence the species, why couldn’t one redeem it? Seems logical, doesn’tContinue reading “Seed Plot, The Preeminent in Our Place”
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”
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”
