Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Advent: Behold, He Comes
Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth shall gaze upon Him and beat their breasts and mourn and lament over Him. Even so, it must be. Amen; so be it. Revelation 1:7 AMPC Christ came...
Christmas
Christmas is not a nice holiday for cookies and get-togethers. It is a divine visitation, necessary to deliver us from our spiritual captivity and meet our desperate need.
An Rx
Take 5 times a day, on rising, before meals, and at bedtime: Ask the Holy Spirt to consecrate you in thought, word and action. Prepare a cup runneth over list. Take With Psalm 23: David’s Confidence In The Grace Of God. A Psalm of David: The Lord is my shepherd; I...
What The Lord Requires
What shall I bring to Yahweh, the God of heaven, when I come to worship him? Shall I bring the best calves to burn as offerings ? Will Yahweh be pleased if I bring him thousands of sheep or endless streams of olive oil? Shall I offer him my first-born child to pay for...
The Prince of Peace
On this, the last Sunday of Advent, we light the candle of Peace. And we consider Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's (1807-1882) words on the subject of Peace: Christmas Bells I heard the bells on Christmas DayTheir old, familiar carols play,And wild and sweetThe words...
Salvation
Have hope. We are more than sinners saved by grace. We are a new creation in Christ.
Love
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. 1 Colossians 13:7 NLT
Today
Work as unto the Lord, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Colossians 3:23, 1 Peter 4:11
The Day The Lord Has Made
I can just sense that it is another glorious day the Lord has made. Oh to draw closer to Him. Psalm 118:24
Advent; Great Joy
"And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10-11 KJV In this, the third week of Advent, we...
Advance The Kingdom
The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today. Saint Francis of Assisi
The Word Of God
Interpreting the Bible is not a matter of picking and choosing, but of exploring and understanding. We don't study God's Word to affirm our own biases or desires. We study it so that we can know God and submit to His authority in our lives.
Biblical Justice vs Social Justice
Biblical Justice is one-another love. Social Justice is a political scheme focused on power and entirely devoid of love, faithfulness, or the inherent value in personal responsibility.
On Salvation
Looking in the wrong place? We come to salvation and sanctification through acceptance of the gift of Jesus Christ (His death and resurrection). And not through asking for forgiveness of sin. Salvation cannot be achieved by pleading, but rather only accepted as a gift...
On Grace. And Love.
We love because God first loved us. If we say we love God, but hate others, we are liars. For we cannot love God, whom we have not seen, if we do not love others, whom we have seen. The command that Christ has given us is this: whoever loves God must love others also....
Come, Let Us Reason Together[1]
Do yourself a favor and learn all you can; then remember what you learn and you will prosper. Proverbs 19:8 GNT, (or in the Message translation: Grow a wise heart - you'll do yourself a favor; keep a clear head - you'll find a good life.) I have always squirmed just a...
The Advent Invitation
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day does not catch you unexpectedly, like a trap. For it will come upon all...
God Is Love
On this, the second Sunday of Advent, we light the candle of love. God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his...
