Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Sola Gratia (Grace Alone)
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV, Romans 11:6...
Obedience
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 NASB When you take God seriously, He will bless you for it. So no matter what He instructs you to do...
Thy Kingdom Come
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 For decades theological liberals and revisionist theologians have sought to speak of God’s kingdom as something we can engineer through human efforts and good works. In this conception of the kingdom,...
A Good And Faithful Steward
Be very careful, then, how you live; not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Ephesians 5:15-17 NIV The wise person lives carefully today because...
More
Now all glory to God who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to do exceedingly abundantly more than we would ever dare to ask, hope or dream for. Ephesians 3:20 Adapted Prayer: Almighty and everlasting God, You are always more ready to hear than we...
If At First
For the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He punishes each one He accepts as His child. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening. It’s painful. But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. Hebrews...
A Confession of Sin
Almighty merciful God, we acknowledge for ourselves and confess before You that which is the truth. Our consciences accuse us and our sins testify against us. If You decided to consider our merits and worthiness, we would not be fit to lift our eyes to heaven and...
Shabbat Shalom
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And God looked over all He had made, and He saw that it was very good! So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. On the seventh day God had finished His work of creation,...
Swamped?
But soon a furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat. The disciples shouted for Him to wake up and save them. When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves,...
A Prayer At The Beginning Of The Day
Our Father in heaven,hallowed be Your name;Your kingdom come;Your will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread,and forgive us our debts,as we also have forgive our debtors.And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from evil.For Thine...
Repent
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 NKJV A Prayer of Repentance: Gracious Lord, we have great reason to humble ourselves before You because of the icy indifference of our...
Certainty
The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8 NKJV The only thing for sure is that nothing is for sure. Except the Word of God.
Sawubona
Hagar fled. But the Angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness on the road to Shur. And He said, “Hagar, Sarah's maid, where did you come from, and where are you intending to go?” And Hagar said, “I am running away from my mistress Sarah.” The...
The Lord’s Day Symphony
Oh come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For He is our God,...
The Five Solas
Emerging from the Protestant Reformation (1517 - 1648), the Five Solas (Latin; alone(s)) represent the foundational theological principles of the Protestant Reformation and the doctrinal pillars of the Protestant faith. They affirm that salvation is entirely God's...
On Faith
I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6 NASB Faith includes the belief that Christ is the way the truth and the life. This is the Word of the LORD.
The Reality Of Sin
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing...
Sin At Its Root
The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in Me. John 16:9 NLT Rejection of Christ is not morally neutral. It is the root sin.
