Christian: Do you hesitate to observe Easter or Christmas?
I listened to a sermon on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was preached to a congregation which met at 6am at the church outside on Easter morning. To them, the sunrise was a reminder of the dawn of Jesus’ … Continue reading
How we benefit from the death of Jesus Christ
What purpose did the death of Jesus, the Son of God, serve? Hebrews 2:14-18 gives us insight into this aspect of His death, burial, and resurrection. “Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise … Continue reading
Letter to a Pen Pal
I had a thought. (I get those now and then.) People say the Bible is a handbook of life. But not quite. It doesn’t tell us which college to enter, which person to marry, which career to go into, right? … Continue reading
Meditation: “Love one Another” (1 Corinthians 13)
First Corinthians 13:1-8 has been oft quoted at weddings simply because its topic is love. But Paul the apostle did not have marriage in mind when he wrote this. He had church gatherings in view. First Corinthians 13 is the … Continue reading
Politics and the Christian
The problem with political parties is not their individual takes on the nation’s issues. The problem is that they are filled with sinners, people who too frequently are without God’s level-headed wisdom and guidance. The problem with the politicians in … Continue reading
“Why do we do that?”
John’s disciples came to Jesus with a question. They asked, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?” (Matthew 9:14-17). The implications of this question are relevant to us today. First, I can imagine … Continue reading
The Unintuitive Gospel
Paul the apostle received the gospel as a revelation from God. No man taught him the Good News. The Spirit showed it to him (Galatians 1:11-12). Therefore, it’s not intuitive that God so loved the world that He gave us … Continue reading
Your God is Too Small

Overcoming Sin
Are you dealing with sin in your life? The angel told Joseph that he was to name the baby JESUS, “for He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). So, are you dealing with sin? Are you increasingly … Continue reading
NOTW
The flesh provides the entryways though which the world and the devil can enter. The eyes, ears, mind, senses—these are all underground tunnels through which the enemy may enter and we may be taken captive. What are you listening to? What are you thinking about? What are you watching? Whatever is not of God and His liberty is from the enemy. Are you a friend of the world or of God? Continue reading

Christ is Not Far Away
Christ is not far from us. “But the righteousness which is of faith says this, ‘Don’t say in your heart, “Who will ascend into heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ down); or, “Who will descend into the abyss?” (that is, … Continue reading
Letter to a pen pal, July 2020

Psalm 5:1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. This word meditation is better translated as groaning. David is groaning in his praying. Something is weighing on him. Sometimes we can groan without being able to put … Continue reading
