Paul reminds his son Timothy, "that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus,” 2 Timothy 3:15. Salvation alone depends on the mercy of God. It is not based on one’s knowledge of the Bible. Before there was a Bible men were saved. Since it has been given, however, we know that it is through the written re...  Read More

John 3:36 reads: “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”     We live in a day that celebrates, “The fatherly love of God.” This, to me, is nothing more than a vantage we can see manifest in every generation.

And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.” Imagine a world where everyone listened to this. I was at the DFAC eating dinner the other night with a secular “atheis...  Read More

“But [Jesus], after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God…For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified,” Hebrews 10:12, 14. The certainty a Christian has in grace is truly something worth singing about. It’s passages like this that at times just demand to be preached. They have to be loved over you sometimes.
