Are You the One? How Jesus Responds to Doubt and Suffering
When John the Baptist found himself in prison, the bold prophet who once proclaimed Christ began to wrestle with a difficult question: “Are you the one who is to come?” In Matthew 11:2–11, Jesus answers doubt not with rebuke, but with Scripture, fulfilled prophecy, and gracious assurance. This message reminds us that faith can be tested by suffering, yet Christ remains faithful to His people and honors those who trust Him.
Foolishness and the Power of God
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” - 1 Corinthians 1:18 The preaching of the cross appears as foolishness to the natural, fallen man who is perishing. It offends his sensibilities and contradicts the wisdom he trusts in. … Continue reading Foolishness and the Power of God
The Curse of the Physical Creation: A Biblical Defense of the Historic Christian Doctrine
The Fall was physical as well as spiritual because humanity is both body and soul. Therefore, the redemption accomplished by Christ is also for both body and soul, culminating in the renewal of all things. The world groans now, but it groans in hope, waiting for the day when the same God who once declared the ground cursed will declare all things new.
God’s Love in Christ Never Fails
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 Under Pressure: Waiting for the Lord
This message encourages believers to stand firm amid pressure, to walk in love toward one another, and to anchor their hope in the faithfulness of Christ.
Spiritual Stability in Times of Trial
True spiritual stability doesn’t come from peaceful circumstances but from knowing and trusting the God who governs every circumstance. Through the examples of Paul, Silas, and Job, we see that steadfast faith is rooted in the knowledge of God’s sovereignty and goodness. Even in suffering, believers can rest in the truth that “all things work together for good” for those who love Him.
Faith and Humility: Grace for the Lowly
God's People are marked by humility—by a heart that submits to God, resists the devil, and draws near to Him in repentance and trust. God opposes the proud (the self-righteous) but gives grace to the humble (His elect children). Join us as we explore what it means to live humbly before the Lord, resting in the abundant grace of Christ alone, even while our war with the flesh rages on!
