God’s true gospel of free and sovereign grace teaches us the profound, unchanging nature of divine love. Unlike the shallow, emotion-driven notion of love promoted by our culture, God’s love in Christ is steadfast, covenantal, and unfailing. It does not depend on our performance or fluctuating feelings, but flows from His eternal purpose to save His people through the finished work of Christ. In a world of shifting affections, believers rest secure in a love that never ends.
Peace and Holiness
Believers are called to pursue peace with all people and to rest in the perfect holiness found only in Christ. Our own efforts cannot produce the holiness God requires, but through the finished work of Jesus—the Substitute and Redeemer of His people—we are made perfectly righteous before a holy God. Look not to yourself, but to Christ alone, our Peace and our Holiness.
Joy and Satisfaction
Psalm 16:11 reminds us that true joy is found in the presence of God, not in changing circumstances. Though the Lord is always near, we often miss the fullness of joy He offers when we treat Him as a last resort instead of a constant companion. This article reflects on cultivating an awareness of God’s nearness, nourishing our hearts with what is true and lovely (Phil. 4:8), and learning to delight daily in the One who alone provides lasting satisfaction. Soli Deo Gloria!
Faith in the Lord’s Will
Believers are called to live with humble submission to the Lord, acknowledging His rule over every detail of our days. Be encouraged by the wisdom of the Epistle of James today!
Faith That Flows From Wisdom: Taming the Tongue
Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). What we say reveals what’s in our hearts. James reminds us that the tongue has both the power to destroy and the power to bless, and only the wisdom from above can bring our speech under godly control.
Are James and Paul At Odds Concerning Faith?
James 2 has often been misunderstood as contradicting Paul’s teaching on salvation by faith alone. In reality, the two apostles address different concerns: Paul speaks of justification before God, while James emphasizes how faith is vindicated before others through works. Faith is alive, visible, and fruitful — blessing the church, serving others, and glorifying God.
The Pure in Heart
Discover the meaning of Jesus’ words, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). This article explores the difference between outward appearances of religion and the true inward purity that comes only through the cleansing blood of Christ. Learn how the pure in heart serve God with sincerity, not for recognition or gain, but out of love and gratitude for their Savior. Be encouraged with the promise that those who are made pure in Christ will one day see God and dwell with Him forever.
The God Who Reigns Forever
Psalm 146 reminds us not to trust in human strength but in the Lord who reigns forever. In Christ, every promise of justice, mercy, and hope is fulfilled.
Blessed Are the Merciful
If we, who have been shown so much mercy, fail to extend mercy to others, will not the Lord chasten and correct us? It is a grievous and wicked thing to withhold mercy when we have freely received it in such abundance.
